I was looking for a place downtown to get a bit of breakfast. Place is a quiet place for an inexpensive breakfast. One egg, toast, ham, and coffee was less than $ 8.00! They are growing their own herbs for those who want fresh herbs with their salad and the like. A sheet cake was being cut up to serve with lunch when I arrived. I think I have dessert figured out for later.

The cutest and coziest place for breakfast! I got the breakfast bagel sandwich with a cup of fruit. The bagel sandwhich was perfect and super filling. I like how everything is made fresh in the kitchen with no frozen items. I highly recommend this place!

Their service is always so good, and it's such an important part of the community. Lots of friendly faces and it's the ideal place to sit and read and drink coffee. Eating here feels getting like a warm hug.

Lovely coffee shop with breakfast and lunch service. Fresh salads in the cooler. Grab and go goodies. They also have books and cards for sale and plenty of seating. They also give a nod to local history.

5 ⭐️ Apricot tea was perfect! The potato soup was amazing, seasoned just right with perfect consistency and an abundance of potatoes with bacon. I was glad they convinced me to try the homemade croutons! Superb! Rueben was delicious. Loved the whole vibe of this place! Definitely recommend!
