Warm inviting environment. Staff are very friendly. My last drink was great. However, if your children like their hot chocolate sweet, their hot chocolate isn't. We tried a few times thinking it was just a one-off. As well, we had friends whose children didn't like it as well due to it tasting "watery." Other than that, for the most part, the food and drinks have been great.

Great stop on our way through town. Delicious coffee & cute little shop! So excited to find gluten free baked goods! OMG! The gluten free pumpkin muffin was AMAZING! My hubby loved his banana bread, too! Service was super fast and staff were super friendly.

Dietary restrictions: Such wonderful gluten free options!

This may be the most conflicted I've felt about leaving a review. The service is amazing and SUPER fast for even a very busy morning. Ordered take out and when I arrived, there was a line to the door. I waited maybe 5 minutes before getting to pay at cash, having several people ask if they could further help me. Almost all tables were taken. It was a really amazing experience in that regard and was happy to see how organized staff was considering the volume, flow was great. My take out order was ready and waiting for me as I asked for it to be made right away which I really appreciated as I was in a rush and traveling.
The food - I have to give it 4 stars simply because of the size portions. We felt that they were quite small for the price. We got 2 breakfast wraps, no meat in them, but they were DELICIOUS. Portion size and no meat, felt like the price could be lower. Also got a couple of ham and cheese cold sandwiches which were fresh and delicious, but again quantity of meat and cheese was very small. I took pictures of both items to share my point- cold sandwich could use at least 2 or 3 slices of ham, not just one very thin slice. On that big of a bun, all you can really taste is bread and mayo. But it was still very tasty and fresh, which is why I'm giving it 4 stars. Had two muffins also - the strawberry rhubarb was quite dry, but flavor was good. The caramel coffee muffin was very moist and quite tasty! The peach and mango fruit smoothie was DELICIOUS. No complaints there.
I will be back for more despite these things, and would recommend this place, there are plenty of options on the menu that I look forward to trying in the future. But would appreciate slightly larger portions of food ?
