I love this place! Their atmosphere is so welcoming and helpful, and I always leave with a smile on my face. Not to mention, their quiche is TO DIE FOR. it’s so delicious AND gluten free!!

Cool building with a nice location right downtown. Coffee was good, only complaint is the vanilla flavoring. I like house made vanillas and this one taste chemically like a “pump flavoring” as we call it. Clean place, fantastic service, and a clean bathroom. If I was local I’d come here often.

I've been coming here for years. Great coffee, lattes, and baked goods.

OMG, I was so excited to see that they offer brunch plates now. We've stopped here in the past, and it was delicious. I didn't think it could get any better. They proved me wrong. The beef bacon and cheddar panini plate was probably one of my all-time favorite meals to date. The owners are amazing and super knowledgeable on gluten-free. The atmosphere is very welcoming and warm. If you have celiac disease, or even if you don't, this is the place to eat. You won't be disappointed.

Oh my goodness! This place is amazing! Such friendly service! 8:30am sitting outside drinking great coffee and eating slightly warm, reasonably priced, super fresh, incredibly delicious scones and muffins - mini size so you can try one of each!

Staff has always been great. Coffee is good as well. Not quite a regular, but we'll stop in if we're in town.

The frozen yogurt blended coffee here is amazing. Much better consistency and flavor than frappe drinks from Starbucks and Dunkin.

False advertisement. Clearly on the display case showed the price for a quiche. When I was wrung up by the indifferent employee, he stated a higher price. I inquired about it. It showed a higher amount than what was shown plus I asked them the price before they rang it up and they said the same amount. My issue was not so much the higher price which should have been shown bc that is truly false advertisement, but the Attitude and how was handled. He told me "he doesn't have everything on the menu memorized". Wow! (Well, I'll be sure to not recommend that establiment.) I told him they should have honored the advertised price. But no. He kept going on and on and I just asked him to drop it. We just wanted our coffee with cream and leave that place, stat. Never again. Plus there were two other ladies there that said and did nothing. I agree with that other reviewer that they do not care bc they do not care and do it with a sarcastic attitude. I also think if they increase prices, it should be adjusted. Everyone else in that town is wonderful but we won't be back there and I make travel and food recommendations to a larger audience so they'll be off my list. They need attitude adjustment & better management.

The scones and muffins were decently good, but I don’t think they made them right the day I was there. They had a bit of a bitter aftertaste, like there was either too much baking soda or baking powder. Not sure if they use either, but there was too much of something.

A great place to have a quality pour over coffee and some delicious cakes to choose from. There's an English theme so don't be surprised by the knight in armour!

Great place to meet friends or go solo! Groups are welcome.Friendly & inviting staff. Variety of coffee & other drinks with several treats to select from. I had a soft,large cookie that was so delicious ,I could have eaten the whole plate of cookies that were on the counter. My Vanilla Carmel coffee was excellent & just what I needed for my break while traveling.
