My daughter and I were eager to try something new and were very disappointed. They were out of heavy whipping cream for my cold brew and the barista also stated that they were out of half and half as well. My daughter ordered her favorite drink only to be told that they were also out of maple syrup. With the limited winter hours one would think that the owners or manager would be able to have plenty of time to restock for the next business day. I did enjoy my plain cold press and my daughter did enjoy what she ended up ordering, but it would have been a better first impression had the shop been fully stocked. The rest of our experience was pleasant.

Some of the best coffee in the area. It’s priced at what you’d expect for “specialty” coffee - lattes, etc. I hope in the future, the menu expands because not only is the coffee great, but the baked items are phenomenal.

The best Barista in the area. Unlike most Baristas in the area, not only did she actually steam clean the portafilter when she was done but she even pre-heated everything before pulling the shot. The coffee roast for a regular espresso was not my preference but it was done nicely and would make a great latte or cappuccino.... which undoubtedly is the majority of the business. Would love to see then offer either a locally roasted coffee or something that tastes a little less commercial. As long as the quality stays where it's at, I'll keep coming back.
