Amazing experience! We were so impressed by their seasonal drink menu. I got the “sweater weather latte” and my husband the “harvest moon”. Both were EXCELLENT! Very friendly staff and the space is so well designed with a cozy lodge feel. The connected gift shop is superb. So many fun finds. My son and I had to grab some pajama pants, they were too cute to pass up. Highly recommend!

First time stopping by and was amazed. Quality coffee and amazing food. The atmosphere was very warm and inviting and everyone had a smile and great attitude. They have a tranquil outside dining spot as well that was very unique and fun.

I like supporting small businesses not franchisee owners of Starbucks.

Cute little shop
Plants are great. Definately way overpriced though.

I want to first say that I love this little cafe. The staff is amazing, the atmosphere is cozy and the attached store is so cute.
That being said - I'm a Starbucks girlie and always loved being able to come here and get my favorite starbucks drinks while on vacation. Please note that they recently they stopped serving starbucks products, but will make their own version of starbucks drinks using non-starbucks branded ingredients, which throws off the taste. I ordered a pink drink, which tasted so sour that I thought the coconut milk was expired. When I asked about this they said they stopped using starbucks products and that's just the way the brand of coconut milk they're using tastes. The staff were so nice and exchanged my drink for a "refresher," which did taste pretty similar to the Starbucks version. I went back a few days later and ordered a starberries and creme frappe, which was good but didn't really taste like Starbucks. I'm sure most of their drinks taste fine (with the exception of the ones with coconut milk), but just wanted to leave a review as some of the other reviews and pictures still posted claim they serve Starbucks products. I would be disappointed if I were someone just passing through thinking I was getting a certain drink and it not taste anything how I expected.
I really hope this cafe switches back one day!

Stopped in for a refreshment after hiking. Nice to see they have cool beverages and addition to hot coffee etc. highly recommend... Doing a little shopping next door is also an extra treat.

Its a nice cafe. Its essentially Starbucks. A tad on the expensive side but overall not a bad experience. A word of caution during the off season the hours are very limited like 8am to 12pm or something like that. Other then that its a nice place to greb some brew.
