After weeks of the damp cold weather a 1/2 hour sauna felt sooooooooo good. It felt like mildew was growing in my joints lol, and now I feel warm and dry.

Hot tubs are great IF you can ever get a reservation. Don't waste your time trying to call. The line is always busy. Have tried calling in from the second they opened for 40 mins and still only a busy line. Really great place IF you can snag a spot, which is like finding a golden ticket.

The three lovely ladies working on Sunday night 12/15 were attentive, incredibly accommodating and helpful. Their customer service was on point and made our visit extra special for me and my partner. Thank you!!

Really cool place! The hot tubs are magical and great for a rainy day. The cafe is beautiful as well. Hot chocolate with whipped cream is the best you’ll ever have. However, don’t get the soup and roll. The soup is from a box and steamed with the coffee machine, and the roll is store bought.

Super cozy beautiful space. Outdoor area with pond and seating. Saunas are super hot and relaxing. Hot tubs are outdoors under nice trees. There’s also a friendly resident cat!

My husband and I regularly visit this place for the relaxing hot tub, and we’ve always enjoyed our time there. I often get a coffee on my way out because the whipped cream is amazing, and since I work nearby, it’s very convenient.

Today, however, was a different story. After our hot tub session, I had about 15 minutes before I needed to pick up my kids, so I decided to grab a coffee as usual. Even when it’s busy, the wait time has never been an issue—until today.

There were three employees on shift, but after two left, the remaining one seemed completely overwhelmed. She not only took care of the couple in front of me, but also prioritized several people who came in after us. She was constantly distracted, chatting and involving herself in other employees’ conversations, instead of focusing on the orders.

After waiting 15 minutes, she finally started on my coffee but gave me something I didn’t order. When I pointed out the mistake, she seemed reluctant to remake it and instead kept offering the incorrect drink, even though I was clear about not having time to wait any longer. Ultimately, I left without a coffee, feeling incredibly disappointed and frustrated.

This experience really left a bad taste about the place, especially given how much we’ve enjoyed coming here in the past. It’s a shame that a single instance of poor customer service could make me question returning.

Great café. I had an espresso and a brownie and a glass of delicious sparkling water. Cozy and peaceful room. The staff were having a good old time laughing and joking and honestly it was a welcoming environment to spend the afternoon writing. No wifi, but that's alright. I didn't know it's also a sauna and spa, I will have to try it next time. Thank you.

I was so tired of Star Bucks, Dutch Bros, all those chain businesses. So tired of Frappes and sugary drinks.
When I came here I didn’t know what to expect and it wasn’t at all what I had in mind. In fact, it was better. Such a comforting space.
I got my simple little vanilla coffee with half and half and sugar. For $2.50, I’d come here everyday if I could. Even after I added far too much half and half, the coffee flavor was still there and it was delicious.
The half and half cooled down my coffee to the perfect temperature, and I loved the natural sugar as an added touch.
Overall, great place. I’ll definitely be back someday.
