What a wonderful place to stop in! From the moment we walked through the door, it felt warm and welcoming. The pastries were absolutely delicious—fresh, flavorful, and the perfect treat to go along with our coffee. Speaking of the coffee, it was made just right, perfectly balanced and sweetened exactly how I like it. We stopped in on a Sunday, so we didn’t get the chance to try their breakfast menu, but if it’s anything like the pastries and coffee, we know it’s going to be amazing. We’re already planning our next visit just so we can experience it. The barista truly stood out as well—so friendly, patient, and helpful with answering all of my questions.

I just love my local coffee shop. Everyone is always so welcoming and accommodating. The food is wonderful, and they will mix up or help you find your favorite drink. I, personally, love the white chocolate cold brew and my daughter always wants lemonade with boba. Don't sleep on this small town GEM!

The coffee is good,.. But you can get a bigger cup for the price they charge at the gas station. The building it's in on the other hand makes it kinda of worth it. It's quite, like library quite, so if you want to sip on some coffee while studying, this is the place for you! They do have a small case that contains baked good, but again, it's small, so not a big salection & I assume they are city priced like the coffee. Customer service was pretty good. I was new to the building and felt like explanations of things were pretty vague. But, all in all, I will be back. I think it will be a nice treat on pay days along with some welcomed quiet me time. One last thing, they had tables in the windows with built-in chess boards, don't know what's that's about, but I would love to play while I'm there.

Had not been in awhile. Daughter received a coupon for a medium drink at her school's career day. We used to love playing checkers, but they had removed the game. We will return!
