Great informal place for coffee breakfast or lunch. Sat outside with my dog and enjoyed the fall morning.

Great food and pastries, and I was told that most of my Lunch Bean Burrito was Organic!
There is very limited seating inside, but there is nice outdoor seating right behind the shop. It's right next to a little brook and plenty of trees and shade. A very peaceful setting.
The staff is also very pleasant and helpful.

250828 - By the time we reached Sparks, the muffins had begun to take effect; we were low on fuel, having come off the highway, aware wet were close to ‘Empty’ in unfamiliar country. Nervously looking for a gas station, ambling along our way back to Canada after a week in the capital. Some said we were brave to visit, we never minded, soaked it all in, we were just there to check on our American cousins, see how y’all were making out in a rather turbulent time. Loved the rolling countryside and gorgeous homes in the area - hmmm…a preserve of the ‘horsie set?’ we thought. Now, even lower on fuel, we caught the sign and stopped at TFS. We surveyed the place, quirky storefront and round the back which felt surprisingly, decidedly chill. Straightaway, we struck up a conversation with a friendly physical therapist, because we’re that kind of chatty. Had a spontaneous, lovely and wide-ranging chat including the whole family. A delicious milkshake, I think a cookie, and couple washroom breaks later, our new friend sent us on our way to the Exxon down the way and a nearby turnoff to get us back en route to the north land. Felt really good to meet a kind helpful soul along the way, the kind of people we wanted to show the kids, and we somehow knew we would certainly meet on our drive into NY, PA, MD, VA, DC. Now back in the land of the silver birch, home of Lord Stanley’s sport and the ‘double-double,’ I am just reading about your late friend Rosa and how much she’d touched you all and your beloved TFS :) Nice lil place. Glad we got to stop by and say hello :) Best regards, hope to see you again

Hidden gem! Rustic location along a small creek with plenty of outdoor seating under the trees. A few tables inside as well. Wonderful coffee & pastries. We also enjoyed some of the food items - interesting blend of Mexican and coffee. Definitely worth a visit.

Good food. Nice location and outdoor sitting.
Great place. The only issue is with the coffee, found it weak, but them again, I like my coffee like jet fuel.
Breakfast sandwiches were amazing.

The drinks and pastries are good, but the food is not so much. I got a bagel with cream cheese, and the whole bagel was burnt.

Hidden gem in my neighborhood. The coffee, pastries, and food are all delicious and reasonably priced. The breakfast burrito and scones are my favorites. It’s not a fancy place, but it’s warm and cozy enough to feel just right.
Regular stop for us for a local breakfast option

Loved my egg sandwich on a croissant and service was fast. The atmosphere was rustic, it was as an old gas station after all. The outside seating was under beautiful old trees with a stream going by. I loved it. So do a lot of other people based on all the tables, inside and out, staying full and the number of carryout customers at the window. I'll definitely be back.
