No room to eat ,very small. Ordered a croissant that it think was bought at Big Y supermarket heated up in a microwave. Nice lady behind the counter. Just expected a different place.

Very nice lady! Quaint shop and yummy looking scones and other goodies. Nothing lactose free so I couldn't try! They serve lunch too so give them a try! Coffee was excellent.

Just dropped by because I saw it on Yelp , it's very nice to see something different and more home like. Loved the decorations, however I waited there at least 10 minutes, rang the bell and the sign did say open until 4PM and the door was open.. yet no one heard me nor the piano. Would love to give it another shot.

YUMMY food and nice atmosphere in this music-themed café. I was lucky enough to stop in on their 3rd day after reopening - thanks to community donations, said the co-owner, their business was able to sustain the pandemic. I'm so glad it did! It's in an historic building and also offers free ukulele workshops by one of the co-founders of the café (which I didn't get to see, lol). His handcrafted banjolike instruments - made out of tin boxes, wood, and bent quarters - are also offered for fun and for sale. I think I saw an Altoids guitar for $50. The soup of the day (tomato basil) was really good, but the fresh-baked BREAD is what really got me! And I'm not usually a bread person. Keep in mind they close at 3. Very glad to have stopped by to support this unique local place.

Incredible, inviting, cozy place to hang. Entertaining with solo guitar, piano etc. Reminds me of coffee houses in the 70's.

Great music an a very personal space. It's like having a concert in your dinning room.

In my road trip I found this place open. Cozy and lovely place. Very unique design. The best sandwich I ever had, simple ham and swiss that tasted amazing. Had also a great coffee and a little friend was visiting the place!

We stopped by here for a coffee and pastry and fell in love with the cafe. The coffee was perfect, and the pastries a true delight. It was a wonderful place to just sit and chat with friends. I can't wait to go back next time I am in the area!

Sweet little cafe for the independent music lover. Baked goods & coffee, plus a few sandwiches. Weekend music events and Wednesday night "pickin party".
