The most gorgeous place with the most welcoming environment. All the people there know everyone by name and it’s the perfect place to camp out and get some work done or read a book or just hang out. Hands down my favorite place in Ardmore.

This place has been on my list for a while now, and there's no better day than my birthday to pop in for a coffee drink. It's a small spot, with various seating options (front and down the hall) Thankfully I was able to claim the corner seat of the couch in the back- it was a comfy spot to sip my Chai and get organized for the day. There were a few folks working, but most seemed to just be kicked back for coffee and a catchup w their companion. 2 strollers, but the Littles were calm and the vibe remained relaxed.

A good place to start your day. I walked in and was greeted with what's available for the day. I normally get a cold brew or nitro cold brew. The coffee wasn't too acidic or bitter. I sat down enjoyed my coffee and espresso brownie. The decor feels like a old home with antiques of all sorts. There's little details throughout and they had a painting on the ceiling. I would def come back to enjoy a quiet morning

Got their specialty drink of the day a Honey Cinnamon Lattee which was delicious and hot the entire time perfectly temperature. The buttered croissant was full of hot butter goodness.

The very small café has a unique interior and is super cozy. If you are in Ardmore, you should make a stop here.

The coffee was great. The place was so packed there was nowhere to sit, great for them but unfortunate for us! Baristas were really friendly and helpful. We got a filled donut and it was underwhelming but definitely not the worst I’ve had.

Kid-friendliness: Not really kid friendly. Tables are close together, not a lot of space to move around, crowded, no booster seats or high chairs available.

So….this is a Christian centered coffee shop. The books are all by or about Christians-right wing Christians mainly-Max Lucado and Mike Huckabee books were on display, although I did see an Anne Lamott book there….A ginormous “The Last Supper” painting hangs behind the coffee bar. They also have Bible Study there. So I guess if you are Jewish or Muslim or an Atheist/Agnostic you may feel a little persecuted/out of place. I don’t know why they feel the need to have a theme coffee shop I guess it must be because Christians are dwindling in numbers because of their moral hypocrisy and they need “a safe space” to convene.? Also my coffee ordered extra hot to accommodate for cream was actually tepid. No place to park either.

Went there a few weeks before September and loved it. They closed down temporarily with no notice or word to inform people who were going to make it their fav coffee shop in Ardmore. Unfortunately
