“Everything is exceptional!!! Food, atmosphere, and staff are the best!! Their coffee can’t be beat!!! Giovanni and the whole crew make it an awesome experience!!“

“I went here with my family and let me tell you, it is the definition of FEEL GOOD PLACE! It is a cozy little cafe with 80’s or maybe earlier, handheld games spread throughout the cafe. While we waited we enjoyed playing many games I hadn’t played in years! While we were just chit chatting, all the sudden marshmallow come flying at us! My daughter thought it was so cool, we looked over to see one of the ladies shooting them from behind the counter. She came over a little while later to squirt ketchup and mustard at us, it was a prank but very funny! It was really just a string. To top it off, she brings a small claw machine so my daughter could play it and win some prizes. We found out that they feed squirrels that come up to the window, so we inquired and one of the women tried to get the squirrel to come so we could see it. Unfortunately it did not happen but honestly, just left feeling like my soul was warmed. The food was amazing! The coffee was hot and all the women working there were truly a delight! I wish I lived closer, I’d definitely become a regular. Best part- aside from taking some photos for memories, no one was on their phone. Just really enjoying the cafe and experience.“

“Went at lunchtime and the line was pretty long. So we sat and waited about 20-25 minutes for our grinder and sandwiches to be ready. The sandwiches and grinder were freshly made and stacked high...delicious. only drawback is waiting area and the long lines (other people obviously know it's a great lunchplace too.“

“Thanks for a great breakfast today! My wife loved the decaf latte. Very cool place!“

“What a great little cafe. The young lady who took our orders was so nice and friendly. The owner was also super friendly. Both of them were working hard and kept the orders coming all the while with a smile. All eight of us thoroughly enjoyed our lunches and we would all highly recommend stopping here.“

“Had Delicious Freshly Brewed Coffee and Hands down the BEST scone I ever had so far ! 10/10 ⭐️“

“Absolutely hands down the BEST pizza in the area!!!!! The sourdough crust is amazing! Tried for the first time today and can't wait to return! Only downside is parking lot isn't big enough for the amount of customers they have! Hope they expand to a bigger better location one day, but don't keep it from letting you try this awesome place! There is parking in the lot next to them so it worked for me! Definitely give this a try you won't be disappointed!!!!“

“Great food, wonderful atmosphere and the staff are very friendly“

“Went there for our first time for a quick bite and some coffee, it was of this world! Their Candied Apple iced coffee was brewed well and had a great flavor without being too sugary or overwhelming. I also had a Caprese sandwich and couldn't get over how fresh and perfectly seasoned it was. The staff are welcoming and pleasant to everyone coming in as well! Definitely will have to stop in again!“

“Food is always fresh, delicious, and quick. The atmosphere is friendly and laid. Try a mango jalapeños margarita!! (It’s not on the menu but it’s delicious)“

“Everything was amazing!! The homemade truffle Mac and cheese was out of this world. They come right to ur table and make it. It is not on the menu!! U have to ask. Do not get an app w it tho, unless there are a few of u. The Mac and cheese is filling! The burrata app is also very good. I had the chx parm w pink vodka sauce and my gf had the same w marinara. Everything, including our server, Mike, was awesome!! Highly recommend“

“Love this place! Makes me wish I didn't live so far away! Lily has a great thing going here, and her staff were lovely to my friends and I while we were on the island. The sandwiches and baked goods we tried were all good, and the whitefish dip was addictive. I'm excited to return!“

“first time in today and won't be last this place is fantastic!!! great staff and great teas!!!! highly highly reccommend!!!!“

“Great staff, good egg sammich! 👍“

“I just had my first experience at this coffee shop, and it quickly became my new favorite! Everything so clean, the selection to choose from is posted and while there are SO many options, the esthetics are so neat that it is easy to navigate and find the treat that calls you. I am currently enjoying the best iced coffee ever, flavored FRENCH TOAST with a dash of cream. Everyone is super friendly. Definitely a refreshing way to start the day. Highly recommended!!!“

“Thank you for having a vegan section on your menu! It made it so much easier for my mom! I truly appreciate it and will make sure to spread the word! Visiting from Albany, NY“

“Disappointing. Not the friendly service you expect from Panera. I have been going here for years, and they changed all the recipes for the worse. The soufflés are not soufflés. They are puff pastry with scrambled eggs. The puff pastry is touch and doesn't cook well. Their baguettes used to be authentic. Now, they are a loaf of bread. The quality if the turkey has gone down. No more metal utensils. It is almost impossible to cut a soufflé with their cheap plastic knife. They don't check their coffee levels and they run out constantly. Complaints to the manager did nothing. You'd not hear the word thank you anymore. They don't ask for your pabeta rewards card. They don't ask if you want to use your rewards. They charge you the wrong amount. This can't all be the fault of the cashier. Where is the manager? I could go on.

Kid-friendliness: I have always brought my kids here, but they don't have anything geared towards kids. Beware of the highly caffeinated teas.“

“great spot for good food and cold beer“
