About a year and a half ago, when I first started coming here, I posted that the smoothies were great, the staff was friendly and approachable, though the café felt a bit gloomy and dark. I mentioned that I’d probably come back but maybe wouldn’t sit inside.
Since then, I’ve been coming in move than 5 times and have generally let little things slide — but today I felt I needed to speak up. I ordered a chicken pot pie, which was already prepared. The staff member cut a slice from a larger pie, placed it in a plastic container, and microwaved it.
I’m not sure what the health codes allow, but I was disappointed to see my food heated that way. Microwaving food in plastic containers — even those labeled “microwave safe” — can release harmful chemicals, microplastics, and nanoplastics into the food. I think investing in a convection oven or another safe reheating method would make a big difference for both food quality and health concerns. Nevertheless, the crust like most bread becomes soft and chewy.

This place is amazing, I've ordered from here twice thus far and the quiche was literally the best I've ever had, and the home fries are amazing. I also tried the not-so-basic breakfast sandwich and of course, it was incredible, but it also came with a little piece of brownie on the side which I thought was such a sweet surprise! This is an awesome spot.

All my life of getting an iced coffee across the world, not once has a place used coffee ice cubes! That is the kind of attention to detail that I love to see. No more water downed coffee as the ice melts!
I also had their Maple Sausage Panini and its delicious and filling. Honestly big enough for 2 people to share.
Their home fries are deliciously seasoned and the spices remind me of home.
I'm so glad I found this shop and can't wait to try other meals!

The food couldn't be any better. I had a three-egg sandwich with cheese on a hard roll. The roll tasted great as if it was right out of the oven. The coffee was hot and delicious. I take it black so nothing can interfere with the taste. I would recommend the owner post a warning about the steps when you exit. Also, the prices are a bit high. For what I described above was $11.00. I enjoy helping small mom and pop business owners. That's why I will return with an adequate amount of cash. I wish them the best of success. Keep up the good work 👍🙏.

Stopped in for lunch on the way East towards Boston
Two of some of the nicest humans were working behind the desk, cooking up homemade cafe oriented options like sandwiches, soups , salads, and more.
The food was clearly just assembled, consisting of tons of flavor and freshness!
