Good place, good atmosphere— not too noisy, but not too uptight. Great staff too.
Food, staff, space, and vibe are fantastic! Had the Plowhand sandwich and a mint green tea lemonade. Definitely would come again!
The Little One & Two breakfast sandwich was so good, highly recommend! My husband & I stopped by while visiting and we shared the sandwich which was the perfect amount to split. Very friendly & kind atmosphere.
