Perfect quick breakfast sandwiches and tasty coffee! The raspberry crumb cake warmed up was yummy!

I wanted a croissant, just a plain croissant. Not toasted or buttered. I love espresso and a croissant. I got a croissant that was cut in half, toasted and squashed flat. Why? Espresso was fine, but would have liked a ceramic cup instead of a paper cup. So not a impressive experience. Was comfy to sit and talk there though, and staff was friendly.

I’ll preface this with the place has good coffee. Stars, or lack thereof, reflect really bad customer service. I went in this afternoon and was not greeted, in fact I was stared at as though I was bothering the employee. I asked for a drink but inquired about how many shots of espresso were in it. She quickly cut me off as I asked which resulted in me having to ask her to repeat herself which clearly annoyed her. When my drink was done, I stood behind the counter and both females who were at the counter stared at me instead of directing me to my drink or handing it to me (fine with either). Very stuck up staff who clearly have no idea how to be kind humans let alone deliver good customer service.

I worked here and the atmosphere is nice. However the owner like apparently a lot of people have also experienced is extremely rude. Not sure what happened to him but good thing this place is running out of business cause he needs to learn his lesson

Really cute place ( from the outside) in a cute little town, but WHY would you be closed on Fridays and Saturdays which are the busy/ tourist days? Very disappointed.

Good coffee and pastries, very nice staff. Gorgeous old building with lots of exposed brick and a great mid-century vibe.

Given light of the recent allegations towards the owner, I'm taking away my 5 star rating and will no longer be a patron until they establish new ownership who treats their employees and customers better.

Excellent little coffee shop with GREAT coffee! Sadly no WIFI and reduced seating. No doubt a pandemic related change.

The espresso just tasted bad, proprietors quite rude and one of us to get. Keep the money, buy better beans. Also, they didn’t have any cup sleeves and we’re not double cup the hot beverages for the people in our party.

The espresso was very acrid and bitter. It seemed like something had gone wrong with the brewing process. It was bad — outside the realm of reasonable cafe drinks. When we consulted the staff, the manager/leader (bald gentleman with glasses) said “give them their money back and get them out of here.” He said we were wrong, the coffee was not bad, and that he drinks it everyday. Which makes sense now - the espresso is as bitter and unsettling as the rude man who sells it.
