The owner is very warm, wait staff is attentive, and the prices are reasonable considering the quality and quantity of food.”

“Well Red has been an absolute haven for me. As someone who struggles with severe anxiety, finding a peaceful place where I feel at ease is rare, but every time I step into this space, I feel an overwhelming sense of calm. The owner has created something truly special. It’s clear that a lot of heart and thought has gone into building not just a business, but a community. The staff here is unlike anywhere else. They truly go above and beyond. They never treat you as just another customer; instead, they make you feel seen and valued with every visit. There’s a genuine sense of care in everything they do—whether it’s a warm smile, a thoughtful conversation, remembering your name and preferences, or simply making sure you’re comfortable. Their kindness is unwavering and consistent, which is so rare these days. If you’re looking for a place to recharge, unwind, or simply enjoy a good book and coffee, this spot is unmatched. Highly recommend! The owner of this shop should be incredibly proud of the environment they’ve cultivated. It’s not just the cozy setting or the quality products that make this place special—it’s the people. The heart they’ve put into creating this space is reflected in every detail, and it’s truly a gift to the community.”
