The type of place that you would want to, and can, go and just get a coffee and sit and talk with a friend or read a book, or just relax in peace. Tasty sandwiches, some hot, some cold, are available, and the service is discrete and professional. (It’s run by a couple, the owners.)
The peanut butter street toast with bananas is exactly what one would want for homey comfort, and the bacon salami sandwich, which is a hot one, is savoury and made to order, as well. It came with a small bag of barbeque potato chips. There are also vegetarian sandwiches, and a couple of desserts.

Kid-friendliness: Well behaved, polite children would seem appropriate here.

We ordered the potato salami sandwich, and we're super pleased with it. It was warm and delicious. The coffee was also great. Would highly recommend.

So RUDE that I WALKED OUT! The man at the register was so RUDE that for the first time in my life, I actually walked out of a food/beverage establishment in the middle of placing an order.

The man at the register was irritated when I asked if the soup was vegetarian. Then he kept loudly sighing and grunting with irritation as I placed my order with him. He was so awful that when I misunderstood what he had said, he huffed and actually turned away from the counter! He's the one with the heavy accent.

I'm hapa, so I've grown up hearing Korean accents and although I was struggling to understand him, I patiently kept trying. Then for him to be mad at me?! I told him that he was rude, canceled my order, and walked out.

The lady cooking behind the counter was so sweet that I feel sad that she has to work with such a mean man.

This place is so cute! Love the decor and 2 stories provides lots of room. The tomato soup was good, I wasn’t a huge fan of the grilled cheese but that’s only because I don’t like velveeta much. I loved the strawberry lemonade it was like a slushy and so good. This place would be a great study spot except they don’t have wifi or allow you to use outlets to charge.

Very charming cafe in the middle of town with a cozy atmosphere and very friendly service! We got the vanilla mocha latte which was flavorful and creamy, and the avocado steak and bacon salami sandwiches. Both sandwiches were so tasty and the bread was toasted to perfection. Great value for money and I’ll definitely be back to try everything else on the menu!

Cute cafe! Stopped in for 2 iced vanilla coconut lattes. The coffee was delicious, the food looked good too. The atmosphere is very welcoming, and I appreciated the friendly and gracious service. I wished we could have dined in!

This is my favorite little cafe. It’s hidden in a little plaza. Great mom and pop run local business. They have simple but unique sandwiches and I love their tomato soup! I love to come here and eat and read. The environment is warm and cozy. I love spending time here when I come to town on weekdays.

*Parking lot available
There aren't many tables and it's narrow. It was cozy as there were more tables upstairs, like an attic.
It's quiet and not many people, so it's worth going when you need a quiet place to talk to people. Coffee, tea, and sandwiches were okay. It was difficult to find coffee or food here, and it was inconvenient to come here to study. I wanted to use my laptop, but there was no place to plug in the charger, so it's not recommended if you're looking for a cafe to study.
