But what really makes it stand out is how it manages to be affordable. Its the little things. The fresh flowers in the alcove by the door.

Will definitely make the detour again next time we drive through this area. So nice to find a dedicated gluten free facility where the food tastes great. Hubs is glutenfull as he says and he still loved it. Then after the coffee shop make sure to stop by The Quill & Candle Bookshop right across the way a bit, great little bookstore. I wish I lived nearby because I would be at this coffee shop daily.“

My bike knowledge is very limited (which means I ask a lot of questions) and they’re always so kind and helpful! Such an amazing shop, and I highly recommend for beginners who need some education.“
