I am so grateful that a place like this exists. As someone with a severe peanut allergy I can never have baked goods. I also have a severe allergy to peas and pea protein which can be a common pairing of allergies. I did find that there are vegan pastries in the same case that are made with butter that contains pea protein so I didn’t feel 100% safe eating the baked goods. If they were to be more separate or the vegan baked goods didn’t contain peas, I would be here every single weekend. The staff was SO nice and went over the top to ensure I knew ingredients. Highly recommend but with caution if you have a legume / pea allergy like me!

My boyfriend & I visited this place today and it was an amazing experience! We are both allergic to peanuts and drove 30 minutes to check it out. Food, drinks and service were amazing, would highly recommend. And everything was NUT FREE!! Thank you to the staff for making this place safe for so many with allergies.

Just had one of the egg and cheese breakfast sandwiches...truly delicious on the fresh baked biscuit. I would have included a picture, but the sandwich is already eaten...I will be back for more!

This place has been an absolute game-changer for me, and I couldn't be more grateful! As someone with severe anaphylactic nut allergies, there's nothing quite like the joy of walking into a cafe, knowing I can safely enjoy any drink or pastry on the menu without fear of allergens. It's a freedom and peace of mind I haven’t experienced in 23 years, which sounds dramatic but is totally true. Plus the staff is fantastic and kind, the food is delicious, and the cafe itself is decorated to perfection. Thanks y'all! 💕

The apple cake was delicious! It was vanilla flavored with bits of apples. I’d recommend the rose garden matcha for a great unique drink. It was floral without being overwhelming.

Great place for a coffee and a nut-free snack. They sell cakes and cupcakes as lavender bee baking. The best time to go is mornings on the weekends when you can get a fresh cinnamon roll and a breakfast sandwich on a fresh biscuit. Year round, the best snack is the crumb bar. The owner, Kelsey, cultivates a sense of community in the business she's built. This is a family-friendly establishment, wheelchair accessible, it has vegetarian, gluten-free, and vegan options.

Vegetarian options: Most options are vegetarian except for the breakfast sandwiches

Dietary restrictions: This place is all nut-free, there are options for vegan and gluten free folks.

Kid-friendliness: The owner is very welcoming of kids.

Wheelchair accessibility: The front door is wheelchair accessible

My favorite coffee spot in JP pastries are also really nice and it’s fun to look through the plants and records on sale inside. Tiny cafe so definitely not the kind of place to sit and do work.

I love this little shop. I’ve been coming here about once a week since I moved to JP three years ago, and they’re always so friendly. I LOVE their seasonal drink menu! Today I got the strawberry shortcake iced latte with cold foam ? so delicious and not too sweet.

Dietary restrictions: Dairy free and gluten free options, though not DFGF together, which would be really nice to have!
