We had our bridal luncheon here recently and it was fantastic! The food and coffee were great, the staff was super friendly and helpful, and it was overall a great experience. Thank you for everything!

Great value for breakfast or lunch? My go to is the Fried Egg sandwich with hand crafted latte. Good meeting rooms for large groups too.

This place is fantastic! It was a short walk from the hotel we all were staying at. The staff is extremely welcoming with smiles, the atmosphere is like a rustic modern feel.
They also have which looked liked a library on the side for book deposits and drop off which is great for the neighborhood.
The coffee was tasty, I had this berry smoothie made with an OJ base which was awesome!
If you’re in the area definitely swing bye.

I used to visit this place a couple times a week for a breakfast sandwich and I have to admit the Southern Croissant sandwich is killer, BUT, when egg prices went crazy the jumped the pricing from 3.95 to 6.95 the last time I was there, and that was just Wednesday morning, soooooooooooooooo, since the price of eggs has dropped back how come they are keeping the price up so high now I ask? GREED!! To top that off? If you don't drink coffee which I do not and not into all the other fancy sugary drinks either, I drink water and when someone charges me 50 cents for a plastic cup of water that always infuriates me!! If you can't make money on your outrageous prices and have to charge for water then make them more outrageous nobody will even notice, BUT WE DO NOTICE PAYING FOR A CUP OF WATER!! Yes I know you are a coffee shop, BUT COME ON NOW, Don't you really make enough on a sandwich for 6.95? Of course you do know that some people can price out cost factors and there is no way that when eggs went up anyone was dumb enough to pay $36 a dozen, well maybe you were lol....anyway, eggs are not $36 a dozen now and there is ONLY one egg in that sandwich? Use a calculator!! Ok, just lost my favorite egg sandwich spot, guess I will have to go around the corner and stop at Walmart and buy a dozen eggs for 4 bucks and a dozen croisants for 4 bucks and some pimentto cheese spread for 4 bucks and eat home cooked southern croissant sandwiches for a week at a buck apiece!! Anyone want to drop by? I will give you a free one!! Oh, and NO CHARGE FOR A CUP OF WATER!!

My book club meets here, and it's very conducive for discussions, good food and beverages, and friendly service.

such a cute café! It has a nice chill vibe. I feel like I can eat either lunch or breakfast or dinner here but also sit and read a book with an old friend, or just get a cup of coffee to go. I recommend the café o lait with oat milk. It is just delicious and baking serving in real mugs if you ask.

My party got dinner in and ate on their patio. It was very sunny and their patio umbrella really helped out. Wverything was clean and it really is a beautiful little Cafe. It was lunch and we all grabbed sandwiches and sodas; I also had a side salad. It was all extraordinarily fresh, tasted amazing and was very filling. The Turkey Club was fantastic and everyone spoke very well of their food. The employees were friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable...hard working too. They were watering outdoor plants and checking tables/ customers in a manner you don't see very often anymore. I could not recommend it more. 5 🌟
