Fantastic cafe. It's my number one favorite! The people who work here are wonderful, and very kind. The coffee is amazing, and theres options for both cheaper coffee and more expensive coffee, so it's affordable! I come here every time I get the chance, and I have been telling almost everyone I know about it. Thank you!
I am leaving this place a five star review, solely because of the previous owners. They were wonderful. This is my first time being back since the owners changed and I am so upset by what I am seeing. There is a younger barista and two older people working, possibly a family. The younger person has been condescending and insulting to the older employee right in front of customers this whole time. I asked for an iced caramel macchiato, which the older gentleman has maybe not made...

The food we ordered this past visit, was a 3 cheese grilled sandwhich and breakfast bagel. Both were top notch including the bake goods we have had in the past. The atmosphere is unique and comfortable and we always feel welcome by all. I would definitely recommend this cafe to anyone.
