Nice people. Really nice, small cafe. Ordered a salmon bagel and salad for takeout. Espresso was really good too. Would go again.

Best neighborhood café. Drinks are tasty, good food options, fair prices. Warm ambiance inside, simple but pleasant decor. Non-pretentious. I enjoy spending time here, staff are pleasant and always prepare my order with care.Kid-friendliness: Often many children here after school hours on weekdays

I had two cortados & a chai tea latte. Lovely place. Well crafted coffee. Don't make the mistake I made in only glancing at the pastry display -- they had 4 pies from which to choose: pecan, apple, cherry, and chocolate. God loves us and wants us to be happy and have a slice of pie with our coffee on occasion. Lark is there to support us!

Lots of coffee shops in the area ... but this is my favorite / go-to spot. Their bagel sandwiches are DELISH and their seasonal lattes are a hit.

Came here on a Sunday evening around 4pm and it was pretty quiet. We were the only people in there.I got an ice match latte and my husband ordered coffee and pecan pie which was out of this world.

I don't often write reviews but I loved this little spot so much I couldn't help coming on here and letting everyone know what a wonderful time I had here. It was freezing out but ive never been known to pass up ice cream. I had strawberry and the cutest guy, Allen, helped out. He was very lovely and definitely made me want to come back next time im in town.

Gave my honest review and the owner of the business responded shortly. Rather than addressing my issues kindly, he told me I was wrong and "clarified" what he believes to be the facts. Stay away from this shop whose owner chooses to correct critics rather than talk to them kindly about their experience. No "sorry" from the owner. Just a rude "correction". And no invite back to try to correct the issues. I won't be back. AND I'm sure (by the way they responded) that they won't mind that they'll be losing a customer as customer service is clearly not their strong suit.

Upon walking into the cafe the barista doesn't speak. He waits for me to engage. When he responds to me stating my order his words are clipped and clearly he's annoyed. Ordering a hot pumpkin spice latte should result in a hot drink not a barely lukewarm latte that has no pumpkin spice flavor. When the bagel was being prepared and one glove was used. Mailman comes in drops mail on the counter where I presume food items go at some point in time. Same guy preparing the bagel used his GLOVED hand to pick up the mail. Why bother with the glove at this point??? I lived around the corner for 6 years. Never went inside because my partner would make the coffee runs. I can't speak to what the service used to be but this wasn't worth the money or time I spent in there. Dunkin might have served up a better cup and I don't like the closest one at the gas station so that's saying a lot. The rude staff, lukewarm coffee and lack of sanitary measures being practiced here have solidified for me that I won't be returning. Skip the gloves and wash your dirty hands sir.

Our favorite local cafe! Nice staff, great smoothies, bagels and of course coffee. Also they serve coffees in ceramic mugs if you are staying in, which is awesome (not enough cafes do this IMO).

I tired a bagel with chicken salad it was pretty pricey ($10) and it could have been better although it had pickled onion and avocado it was unseasoned I had to add salt and pepper to it. For that price at least add

Really enjoy this quiet place. Whenever I have gone in the early afternoon on the weekend, it’s very quiet. They have a loyalty program with stamp cards. I enjoy the attention to making drinks and not attempting to serve multiple people at one time.I enjoyed my iced mocha made with oat milk. The matcha latte is unsweetened and very flavorful. I was very shocked to see the barista soft the matcha and then pull out a chasen before adding it to my cup. I haven’t seen that done since I was in Kyoto—I was impressed.They have good pastries, ample seating (with outlets), and the music is never too loud or distracting. Seating is a mixture of wooden benches, bar chairs, and regular chairs without arms.Will be a returning patron.Vegetarian options: Most items are vegetarian, except for bagels where one asks for meat (lox, whitefish, etc). Dairy free alternative milks available.Dietary restrictions: Soy, oat, and almond milk available for drinks. Some smoothies are made with nuts or nut butters.Kid-friendliness: Smoothies, ice cream, pastries, and non caffeinated options on the menu.
