Lovey cafe with great coffee, fantastic pastries, and the best Arnold Palmer I’ve ever had. Friendly staff & owners, nice atmosphere, and plenty of seating indoors and out. Definitely recommended!

What a fantastic Friday morning! The cold brew coffee is incredible, and the complimentary books add a delightful touch. The space is spacious yet intimate, offering a cozy feel akin to sitting by a winter fireplace. 10/10! 10

I don’t usually post. I used to LOVE this place and have gone many times in the last couple years. They have amazing coffee and the vibe is nice.
Unfortunately the table policing has gotten really weird the last couple of times I’ve tried to work there! I went in and sat at a table marked for 2 people. The owner asked me to move to a 1 person area. I told him I had a friend coming to join me too which I did. He said ok and I set my work stuff up and started drinking my matcha.
Then he came back a couple minutes later and asked me when my friend was arriving?! She was in a meeting and I had no idea when she would be free to walk over to join me. He asked me to move my stuff to single table even though there were two empty double tables! He wanted me to move my stuff and then I guess move it back to a two person when she arrived?
I understand if it’s really busy. It wasn’t (two empty tables) and it’s just weird interrogation energy to put on your customers. It felt like I was intruding on the space and not trusted to be telling the truth about how many people I would be getting coffee with. Not sure what to make of it but bummed because I really loved this place.

Just ran out of beans, so I made a quick trip to grab a couple fresh bags. The owner told me they now get deliveries every Tuesday—love that! Even better, the beans come from a local roaster, so they’re super fresh. I picked up an Ethiopian Yirgacheffe and another bag specifically for espresso. Just pulled a shot, and it came out amazing.

Was looking for local cafés & decided to come and check this place out after seeing the positive reviews. The owner and his daughter are so welcoming and kind! I love the layout here, there’s outdoor seating, a wide selection of flavors for drinks, free books, and I also happened to stop in on a day where they had live music! Family owned & LGBTQ+ friendly, the atmosphere was very comfortable. I got a lavender matcha latte & It was great. Love the experience, love the vibe!

On the face of it, this is a pretty nice place. No complaints about the food or coffee. My only complaint is the older gentleman behind the counter. Not a nice person. Gave me a really, really bad attitude. Will never return.

Great coffee joint. Front counter is super friendly and quick with drinks. Food is a little pricey BUT it's great quality so it doesn't hurt.
And those cinnamon scones are so good it's absolutely criminal.
Great place to work on your laptop, clean environment, and outdoor seating.
Vegetarian options: Vegetarian options including quiche, pastries, and salads.
