Best customer service and food and coffee that is absolutely amazing!

Absolutely delicious food! We were visiting Ponce De Leon Springs and saw this cafe was a mile away. 100% recommend coming to Ponce for this cafe alone!

My family of five all raved about how delicious the smash burgers, loaded fries, and iced coffee were! All the employees were welcoming and kind. They even surprised us with fresh, homemade donuts that were absolutely amazing.

The to-go tuna dip is a must order to take for later!

They close at 1:30-2:00 PM,...read full review

Hands down one of my family’s favorite spots to eat! The food is always fresh and full of flavor, and the coffee and teas are seriously good. You can tell a lot of pride goes into everything they serve. The owner’s a hardworking, genuine guy who really cares about the place and the people who walk through the door. It’s definitely got that welcoming small-town feel that keeps you coming back.
