Had the lavender latte. The drinks are not the best. But the cafe is a great place to unwind, catch up with friends and get work done. Super cute

Love the vibe of the place but the last few times I’ve been it just hasn’t been good. The drinks feel rushed and not made well. I really hate paying $9 for an iced drink for them to accidentally make it hot and dump it over ice. If you make a drink wrong, please just remake it.

I’m local and tried this place several times. It’s cozy but they NEVER have any regular Cold Brew. The majority of the time, it’s a weird whiskey flavor CB and after my latest visit, they didn’t have any at all. I’d suggest being a Cafe, they have that sort of thing available to customers who are willingly to pay and support the business.

Rather go to any café than this… I’ve been here a few times and never had a good experience. Staff are not friendly, drinks do not taste good, environment is not pleasant.

In mid to late November, I was traveling through this adorable little town and decided with my family to see what coffee shops we could explore while in town. The shop itself is pretty clean and cute, however there will be more to explain about that soon. I ordered a cortado and a cold brew for my husband, and sat down. The espresso in my cortado was extremely burnt, and my husband said his cold brew was disgustingly watered down. not to mention, i was speaking with the rest of my party, and out of the corner of my eye i noticed something quick and fast skurry across the floor. i couldn’t believe my eyes. i had to get a second look. all of a sudden, im walking closer near the trash bin, and i see something fluffy and small hiding right behind the bin. i was absolutely petrified. this clean looking establishment has mice. To make a bad trip worse, the grilled cheese was over priced and was the worst i’ve ever tried. it tasted old, and i couldn’t even blame the baristas, as it seemed as though they all had a shared lack of training. i don’t think i saw the owner/manager a single time. the bathroom was a mess, had no toilet paper or paper towel in it and everything we had ordered came so late. I will never be showing my face here at this pathetic establishment again. it’s a complete no from me. as well as all six of my other family members.

Got a chai latte and cappuccino, both were delicious and very flavorful. The staff at the counter was very friendly.

I ordered a hot chocolate and it tasted very milky with no hint of chocolate in it, so I asked for them to remake it. Once again, it tasted milky with nearly no chocolate. Honestly, Dunkin has better hot chocolate than this.

I want to love this place because it’s the only coffee shop around, but the coffee is just not good. I’ve ordered a few lattes from here on different occasions and they always taste burnt and bitter. It’s a nice spot, but sadly not worth going to.

I like this place but so often, when I come, the servers tell me that I can't get a sandwich because the kitchen is closed. Sometimes they tell me that the kitchen is closed the whole day. When I came earlier this week at 2:30 p.m., they told me that their kitchen closes at 2:00 p.m. Then when I came today at 1:10 p.m., they told me that their kitchen was already closed because they were closing earlier. There is just a lot of inconsistency and I don't think that's a good way to run a business. It also connotes laziness.
