I got the Honey Bee. I’m not usually big on overly sweet drinks, but they made it half sweet and it was perfect. This place has great vibes and staff. I’m not through town often, but it’s easily a a stop every time I’m through.

So happy that this was on the Ozarks Coffee Trail this year! Gave it a try this morning and absolutely loved it! Such a whimsical little place with yummy coffee. Had a White Chocolate Raspberry scone that was perfection.

Took 64 minutes to get two coffee drinks (timed based on our receipt) and then the cappuccino I ordered tasted like warm milk with little coffee flavor. I think this place has potential, they just need to learn how to handle big crowds (and they were definitely hustling) and maybe up the barista skills.

This is a beautiful coffee shop and they have the tastiest lattes around by far!
The service is hit or miss, I'm sorry to say.. I've had incredibly kind and friendly baristas or terribly curt and simply unfriendly staff.
Overall I still love recommending this place.

It has a very cozy vibe, with lots of books and plants all over. There's plenty of seating both inside and outside.
The drinks are quite unique with some of the flavor profiles too! And the size/price ratio is very satisfactory.

Hands down one of my very favorite local coffee shops!😄 The coffee is always excellent, and it is a beautiful place for photos and to buy mums and pumpkins in the fall. Highly recommend!

The Garden Exchange is such a hidden gem! It’s a tiny little coffee shop, but what makes it so special is the unique atmosphere. The owner decorates beautifully for every single season, and it makes the whole place feel warm and welcoming.
I love that it’s more than just coffee—you’ll find fresh plants and flowers for sale, unique local artist creations, and even a chance to pick your own flowers. There are always fun events that truly include everyone, which makes it feel like the heart of the community.
You can sip your coffee inside or enjoy the cozy outdoor seating, and if you’re on the go, they’ve got you covered with to-go options too. Every employee I’ve met has been so kind and genuinely sweet—it really adds to the charm.
If you’re anywhere near Aurora, you have to stop by. Between the coffee, the décor, the plants, and the people—it’s just awesome. 🌸✨
