Just had the most disturbing interaction with a young heavyset surly server. Went to the window and ordered two large black coffees. She came back with one. I said I ordered two. She retorted "I heard one". I repeated that I had ordered two. She again said "I heard one". This went on several times. I said young lady you need to learn something about customer service. She retorted you need to learn something "boomer". I asked if the owner was there and she curtly said no. We have been Milford residents for thirty years and have always supported local businesses, but we will not be back.

This is my go-to coffee shop! I love their matcha because it isn’t sweetened and has great flavor. It is expensive, but I justify it by telling myself I am supporting local.

March.2024The long, wide store was crowded with people working and chatting.There were many types of coffee.There seemed to be a wide variety of ice cream, so I'd like to stop by again.

A cozy little coffee house and ice cream shop with nice seating options and a cute name. Service was ok, not bad. The Latte I ordered was good, but I wasn’t blown away by it. The prices are slightly above average.Parking: It was easy for me to find metered street parking, but it was early on a Sunday, so…

This is a harsh review. I really do love this place! But a small coffee costs $7 and the sandwiches are always super salty and way too spicy for the average person. The bravocado is good but my mouth is on fire...Lots of seating, but the tables kind of suck and the chairs don't line up with the table heights. A small thing makes a big difference if you're wanting to come work on stuff. Just a heads up.

We drive 45 minutes to get a coffee from here. I always get the Carmel latte and I’m not kidding you when I say it’s the absolute best coffee I have ever had. If you’re looking for a sweet treat, try a vanilla or chocolate milkshake, with a shot of espresso!! I promise you won’t regret it. Love supporting a place like this!!!

Cool place to pop in for coffee or ice cream, take a meeting or "work from home". Plenty of seating. Chill environment. Music volume is perfect. Staff is friendly and helpful. They serve hot coffee, hot cocoa, cold brew, pour overs and much more! They even roast their own coffee beans!! What?! During my brief visit today, the place was frequented by dad's and kids, business professionals, church members and teens - hanging out. What a fun space!Parking: Being a quarter during the day. Parking meters are monitored. Parking in the evening is free.

Was in just when they opened on Sunday morning to grab some coffe and something to eat while waiting for a candle store next door to open up. On to the good I have to say people working there are super friendly. The food can be better the avocado toast was a bit sad and lacked flavor, my kids cookie was stale. Coffee was good. The place does give you a vibe of a rundown Coffe shop with mismatched tables and chairs and dirt everywhere. Hope some improvement will happen

The coffee is watery/weak, hot chocolate tastes like milk and you cannot remove cheese from a sandwich. Everything we bought was thrown away.
