The waiter, Chris ruined this place for me today after coming several times over the years. He was extremely rude, unprofessional, and clearly demonstrated that he should not be in the service industry.

When I asked if he was having a bad day, he replied he’s just “direct” and treats women as he does men, but that his friends have told him he doesn’t interact well with women. As someone who’s worked in several service roles, I’m completely unimpressed!

Not sure I’ll be back after that experience, sadly.

Waited about 40 minutes for 2 sandwiches.
No prices listed on the menu or like anywhere?
Kitchen staff wearing open toed shoes (flip flops/sandals).
Male waiter was weirdly rude/angry/sarcastic about not wanting meat on my sandwich.
The upstairs is a cute fun ambience but not worth the price, service and wait.

Made us wait outside to order coffee. It took almost 30 minutes, standing outside like a chum waiting for my coffee.
The coffee was horrible, it wasn’t a latte, like I ordered. It was just drip coffee with milk and way too much syrup.
The inside looked cute and cozy but they didn’t let us stay and order cofffee, I think it was really rude to make us wait outside for so long.

Don’t be in a hurry, this place is a gem. Sit, sip on a delicious latte and freshly prepared food, and enjoy the wonderful energy here. I am already looking forward to stopping back in on my next visit.

I feel like with how much I go here I should finally review. I love it so much, I take my friends here when I can it's so wonderful and worth it. Perfect spot to go and sit and do my homework for college, sip on my little lattee and vibe. Only beef is that the exit when you're turning left is (at least right now) full of sunflowers so I can't see cars coming, but I haven't gotten hit yet. Either way, banging time love it there xoxo.

The owners are exceptionally kind and the food tastes wonderful. Highlights of enjoying this locale include scenery, art, food, and compassion through conversation. These people spread positive messages through tasty beverages, pastries, and more substantial food items like eggs with hash.

A cute structure supports this lovely spot's mission, and the owners offer outdoor seating near a calming woodland.

I will certainly return soon for more lively conversation, exposure to local art, and delicious food and beverage. Thanks for serving the Lower Connecticut River Valley with such goodness.

Vegetarian options: Great spot for vegetarians and vegans, most options come prepared sans animal-based protein.
