Cute neighborhood cafes, there are more than one, Simone is a lovely host always friendly, thoughtful and kind. She has the cutest items for sale in the cafes too. Really pretty mugs, aprons, totes, nick knacks of all sorts, they're not tacky or cheap either. Her selections vary or totally change regularly so if you see something you like buy it. If not buying it's still always fun to wait in line while perusing the new and old wares. Once you get to the counter there's so much to choose from and it is, I swear, all very good. Avocado Toast is a favorite for sure enjoyed with

If you're looking for a great cup of coffee or tea, Simone's is your place! I love the hot chai lattes and love the seasonal drinks too. There's always something new to try. Don't forget the gift shop! I purchased Christmas Tree Skirt bell bottoms and they were a huge hit! I love supporting local business owners too. Simone and Curt are always helping out the community whenever there's a need! Love that!

Better than Starbucks by a long shot! Wish hours were extended a little bit so I can enjoy their pastries and coffee more often.

Very sad, we got an iced and hot coffee one with marshmallow and one with cinnamon. Disappointed both tasted watery and not enough beans were used. I am familiar with their syrup brand and tasted like they put 1 pump for a medium on both...Not sure why there is a huge line. Not worth the wait :( wanted to love it..but the backsplash was on point haha
