First time visiting this coffee shop. I'm sorry I didn't visit sooner. Was able to smell the great food, and see a toasted club sando being assembled. Out front a small sidewalk table with 2 eating small plates and large coffees. Inside were several small tables with a few customers reading and chatting. It was 1/2 hour before closing at 3:30pm. I ordered two med. Drinks to go. I was greeted promptly and waited a very short time. The coffee's were wonderful. The surprise was the many shaded tables for 4 out back on the patio. The prices are a great value nowadays as well! We're coming back often... No more corporate sugar chains....lol

Visiting from out of state. A cute little coffee shop. A little bit small for my liking but I was by myself so that’s fine. Prices were normal.
I asked for an everything bagel extra toasted with cream cheese and this is the first coffee shop I’ve ever been to that’s gives you ENOUGH cream cheese for the entire bagel… so even though I had to spread it myself I was grateful they executed my order to a T.
Another thoughtful touch was the basket of diapers in the bathroom just in case!
Edit - They serve wanderlust.

Super cute spot with a great outdoor atmosphere and fair prices. The overall vibe is relaxed and inviting.
However, the barista experience was disappointing. One staff member couldn’t explain the difference between a cold brew and an Americano, which is basic knowledge for a coffee shop. More concerning, though, was her approach to food handling. I watched her prepare items like bacon, eggs, and bagels without washing her hands—even after touching multiple surfaces. At one point, she wiped her hands on what appeared to be a bleach rag, then continued handling food barehanded, even wiping her hands on her shirt while plating.
While I understand that working in a busy environment can be overwhelming, food safety should always be a top priority. I didn’t catch her name, but she had short brown hair.
This café has a lot of potential and I do plan to return, but I felt this needed to be brought to attention for the sake of hygiene and customer experience.

Great all around experience! Got stranded here for half a day waiting for an AirBnB to open up. Was a paradise of good sandwiches and better coffee. Real neighborhood vibes where the staff seemed to know every customer that came in by name.
