This coffee shop was walking distance from my airbnb. Very "artsy fartsy" vibe and great paintings to look at. I ordered the toffee nut latte and it was pretty good! I would recommend if you're in the area.

The cuban latte was perfectly done. Ok I do like richly flavored sweet things. A double shot of espresso, 2 spoons of brown sugar and steaming hot half and half cream. This for me is up there with the authentic Cuban cafe con leche you find down in those little Cuban restaurants in Florida.

We stopped in for coffee while shopping in the area. The staff was very friendly and had many options for coffee and pastries. Very cute and quaint.

Stopped here for breakfast on our way home from the beach. Definitely a little bit of a wait with a line out the door but the baristas got our order very quickly and even gave an extra bagel for a very slight mix up which we appreciated! The bagels were great and they had amazing looking pastries behind the counter as well. They have so many syrup options if you like flavored coffee and even a few different sugar-free options which is more than Starbucks offers! This is definitely our new favorite coffee shop in town. Thank you!

Only grabbed a muffin and it was good. I wish I would've grabbed some coffee as it seems that is their specialty, but I was short on time. The place is so cute, though and the service was friendly. I'll go back.

Really terrible way to start the morning.The worst part is the employees watched us get harassed then had the nerve to thank the man as he left. I thought after he left an employee would apologize or at least tell us of course a pregnant woman and her toddler are welcome in the cafe - this did not occur.My husband was looking forward to visiting this coffee shop, we walked 10 minutes out of our way to get there. Only two chairs remained in the entire place, luckily they were next to each other.I am 20 weeks (visibly) pregnant. I sat and my husband parked our one year old's compact stroller next to me.We saw a backpack on the table across from us but we planned to only grab cups of coffee therefore we did not intend to use the table and did not want to stay more than 15 minutes.As we were discussing what to order a tall, grown, forty-something man came over with his hot coffee and shook it around in the air as he exclaimed, raising his voice for the entire cafe to hear, "Wow! Love you guys, aren't you all cute! Well I actually haven't been able to sit in this seat for months! Not that you care I was really looking forward to it but no, you go right ahead and TAKE IT!My husband tried to tell him he could sit there & I tried to acknowledge his upset as we saw his backpack there but it's the only seat and we won't bother you or your table.Our existence had already offended him.As my husband said "sorry but.." This older man yelled, "Well you should be!" He waved to the employees, "ok, thanks!" To which they replied, bye, thank you!After the employees ignored us and thanked him, I was shaken. We decided not to spend money in an establishment that supports the aggressor and chooses not to offer families a safe space to drink their lattes.This man took a patio seat outside and as we walked on the sidewalk past him he let out a loud, angry spitting noise toward us. At this, I realized, maybe the employees were afraid of such an unstable grown man. Unfortunately, that did not excuse them saying nothing to us after he walked out; or even as we started to walk out.Kid-friendliness: Worst, they thank people for yelling at families for entering the cafe and scolding pregnant women for sitting in an open seat

Really terrible way to start the morning.The worst part is the employees watched us get harassed then had the nerve to thank the man as he left.

Best coffee in Gloucester. Best decaf French roast anywhere. Bagels great and veggie cream cheese excellent when they have it. Baristas absolutely friendly and engaging. Owner, MaryEllen is a joy. Can't say enough good things about this place. Whatever my mood when I walk in, it's better when I walk out.
