Build Coffee and Books Reviews
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.
