Lovely little coffee shop in a garden. Staff is very friendly and the coffee drinks and pastries are top notch. My first stop in Old Town when I get off the trolley

Such a nice cozy little coffee joint, ham and cheese waffles are a perfect balance of sweet and savory. Super cheap, we got 2 coffees, a waffle, and tipped 20% total was $14

I am ....OBSESSED. I had been seeing reels of this coffee shop on my instagram for the longest time and always thought how much I loved the vibe. However, I live farther away than what is considered "convenient" so it had taken me awhile to actually take the time to stop.

I finally had some friends in town visiting and was bringing them to old town and said hey lets try this coffee shop.... and my golly. Walking up it was such a homey, relaxed vibe. Walking on the wood and being under the trees had me smiling from ear to ear. Then we go up to order, the nicest staff working (thank you for your patience and kindess). I decided to try the Alligator tears drink, although almost everything sounded so good. That drink.... WOW. Also had a savory treat and it just melts in your mouth - I believe it was a jalepeno and cheese gallette.

Additionally, the pricing was actually within a reasonable margin compared to other shops I have been too. All I can say is make the time to go check this place out. I love the idea of using glassware to save on cups as well. Anyhoot, yes - 10/10. :)

Very cute, adorable, and perfect for old town. Excellent little outdoor atmosphere run by a family. 10/10 would absolutely return.

Dietary restrictions: They have non dairy options for us lactose intolerant people.

Coffee, tea, pastries - exactly what we were looking for on a Sunday afternoon! Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Perfect!

Parking: There is plenty of free parking in Old Town - and plenty of folks looking for spots. Patience and politeness are rewarded.

Rate 3.5/10 garden coffee

Felt like I was in my grandpas backyard that hasn’t been cleaned in 20 years. How does it even smell bad outdoors? The vibe is just super white and millennial, of course in old town. Meanwhile the workers look like they’re in some kind of pen. Had a moment where it was reliably for the girls and the gays but that’s long gone. The owner had Valium stare.

The coffee was yummy and the chocolate chip sugar cookie is worth the splurge.

Affordable, good quality, nice quirky ambiance too. Would recommend giving them a visit!

It’s self service, they ask you to wipe your table once you’re done — all good manners but then also ask for tips ?‍♂️

What a wonderful surprise! Hidden away in a quiet small area is wonderful friendly service. Plus great coffee and pastries. My blackberry gallette was so good. Not too sweet and lots of filling. My pretty latte was really good! Plus the mug! It had my name on it. FUN! Plus, lots of seats. Some in the shade, some in the sun.
