Met a friend here mid-morning on a Wednesday. Seems like a random location, but their signage made it easy to find. I ordered right away without a wait, although there were a decent amount of people enjoying the cafe already. Seating was a little random and could be scarce. I had a decaf oat milk latte with maple & vanilla, half sweet. Very, very good! I usually only order my lattes with vanilla, but the nice barista spoke highly of their maple so I'm glad I gave it a try. My friend had a smoothie and said it was good. They had a water station and clean restrooms. Would come back - seems like a good place to get work done!
Excellent service! The seasonal coffee drinks were amazing and deserve a spot on the regular menu, especially the Black Forrest Hot Chocolate and the Chestnut Praline Latte. The lunch sandwiches were also delicious. The coffee cake alone is worth a trip. We will definitely be back to try the breakfast menu items.
Cute little coffee shop tucked away in the back of a strip mall. Coffee was good but what really stuck out was the atmosphere. I've never walked into a coffee shop on Friday morning with less people on their phone and more people conversing and playing games with each other. It felt like a true community place which is hard to come by these days. Bravo.
Deceptively large coffee shop tucked away in a strip mall. When I arrived about 10:30 it is was moderately busy with most of the tables occupied and a pleasant background noise of conversation. They have a number of seasonal specials including the Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate. When they ask if this is a to go or drink in, this is not just a tax question. In cafe drinking is the way to go as they serve their drinks in real cups, massively improves the already excellent taste. The Peppermint Bark Hot Chocolate was wonderful and the cream appeared to be real whipped cream as it didn't instantly dissolve, effortlessly supporting the chocolate syrup applied across the top. If I am in the area I will definitely visit again. This coffee shop deserves better exposure, a hidden gem!
