Beautiful building in a gorgeous old historic town. This coffeehouse is the center of town so I was excited to give it a go. The service was non-existent. The workers mostly just stared blankly and even after I tipped, she kinda just threw the cheap mini half and halfs at me. I am not sure if the attitude was because I was the only non-white person here, but I’d to think its not race-related and that the worker was just over this job.
Anyways, I am happy I tipped even though it was hard to do with the mean girl service but that is a goal of mine: to rise above hate.
I gave 5 stars because its a beautiful building in a beautiful town which is where the navy was created- thats pretty cool ????
I woulda stayed for breakfast but of course wanted a friendlier environment

What to say about great coffee and delicious food served in a fabulous building by an accommodating waitress. Coffee came in large cups, fresh and hot and strong but not bitter. The muffins were wonderful and the avocado toast, with (me) and without (hubby) eggs, was hearty and tasty. Brought cinnamon rolls home for dessert!!Really a great breakfast, just wish we lived closer so we could enjoy them more often.

We sat for 5 minutes before we were acknowledged, and two groups came in after us and got menus before we even got attention. They came over to ask us what we wanted and we still hadn't seen the menu. The food was pretty good tho. The building is beautiful.

Kid-friendliness: They had special kids cups

Wheelchair accessibility: They have a ramp for wheelchair access

Dietary restrictions: GF options available

I was pleased to find that this restaurant reopened. I ordered the turkey, stuffing, and cheddar grilled sandwich, and it was delicious. My dad enjoyed his pancakes (breakfast is available during the afternoon). Portion sizes are large. Prices are reasonable. Our server was very pleasant, and the service was good. I look forward to returning.
