We stopped for a late lunch on Friday afternoon around 1 pm (Feb.) on our way to Minneapolis. We only got food and did not have coffee. My spouse and I split the turkey cranberry and my daughter got the kids turkey and cheddar with a strawberry smoothie. The kids portion is basically just a half sandwich. The food was delicious, and the service friendly with a cute design.Pros:-The sandwich size is very generous. Even though my spouse and I split a sandwich, we left feeling satisfied-Sandwich ingredients were fresh with thick-cut roasted turkey breast-Fast service and friendly staff-We ordered waters and were given a large glass with ice water at our table with the food (sometimes coffee shops just provide small Dixie cups for water in my experience)-Daughter loved the smoothie-Cute decor with a bright airy feeling-my spouse has low vision and was immediately offered a handheld detailed menu when the barista noticed he was having a hard time reading the wall menu-seating was spaced out and did not feel cramped-reasonable food pricesCons:-strawberry smoothie may have come from a mix - did not taste like real fruit but still good-not a ton of seating available, could be difficult to find a table during busy times-Only parallel public parking available on Main Street - wasn’t an issue for us, but good to know if not from area-only bathroom was clean but needs updating-only open until 3:30

I came to Marshall to visit customers and stumbled on this café between appointments, looking for a space to get some work done. I assure you, the next time I come to Marshall, it will be to stop at this café, and then I will also visit some customers! The small space is well used with plenty of tables to work or just relax, while the perfect blend of trendy yet not distracting music plays in the background. The staff were friendly and made recommendations that were highly in tune with their fare. Which leads me to the food! I had their soup of the day, the chicken tortilla, mainly because I smelled it when I walked in and had to know if it tasted as good. It did NOT disappoint! I had bread and butter with it on their recommendation, which was the perfect addition and should not be missed! The cup of coffee that I had come for to sip while working was definitely the best I'd had in the 4 days I'd been on the road, but also in ages! This is NOT Starbucks (whose coffee I personally think is trash)! It is light-years better!*Apologies for not having any pictures of the food. I'd already finished it when I decided I had to rate them!

I love this coffee shop — the hot latte was a perfect way to stay my day. We also enjoyed the berry parfait, avocado toast, and of course a scone. There’s plenty of places to sit and enjoy your breakfast and you can even buy their coffee to brew at home.

We had breakfast. Pancakes and sausage were good. My partners eggs, hashbrowns and bacon were good too.

Cute little cafe/coffee-shop. Is a bit higher priced than other coffee shops/cafe's, but the food quality is very high--well worth the money. Had sandwich, side strawberry salad and fruit smoothie. Staff was friendly and helpful. Would go back and have again.

The drink I had was delicious (Decaf Salted caramel) there was a good variety of baked goods even though I didn't get any. Staff were friendly and easy to work with.

Nice small coffee shop in downtown Marshall, the breakfast sandwich is the best in the area.

Cute cafe, great service. But the chai tea latte is delicious. Their avocado toast is good and the bagel sandwhich with grapes is also a good selection! Side note : I wish they made drinks with matcha.
