Icebox Cafe Reviews
Great food, friendly service, phenomenal hidden gem!
I love stopping by this coffee shop for my daily caffeine fix! The atmosphere is cozy, and the baristas are always friendly and passionate about their brews. Plus, their seasonal drinks never disappoint—can't wait to try the next one!
The apricot scone was a tasty suggestion and my cheddar cheese and home fry stuffed omelette was fire. I will definitely be back at this hidden gem.

The menu features a variety of breakfast and lunch options, including great sandwiches, baked goods, soup, and coffee. Notable dishes include a delicious burger with local farm-to-table beef served on a brioche bun, a chicken salad sandwich with pecans and cranberries, and the best pancakes that some describe as the very best ever. Pastries are sourced from local bakers, and beverages include refreshing green tea and a selection of coffees. The café even serves pizza on Saturday evenings.
