You know this place is a treasure when the parking lot is packed! A lot of people were inside enjoying their coffee at the tables. I got a toffee cappuccino and a blueberry lemon scone. Both were delicious! You can shop around the shop for unique gifts like jewelry or decor! I will definitely be stopping back again!

I started coming here recently and I love it! They post so many drinks to their Facebook page and I love trying whatever they post. The baristas are very friendly and the atmosphere is so cozy! There is always parking available and I would tell anyone to get their coffee here♥️

I didn't know my service dogs, that I was holding in my arms, are no longer allowed, especially, somewhere they've been welcome before. No moral character in that chunk of the staff. You know who loves my dogs? The STARBUCKS right down the street. We were welcomed there. Sad a chain feels more at home than this place.

Great coffee served by amazing and friendly staff. The space is cozy, cute and artsy. I love how they have monthly specials in addition to their regular menu. We always go for something on the monthly special menu. We love supporting this great local business.
