On a hot 100 degrees day, this is the perfect drink. Light, refreshing Ocean Blue slush that is way better than I imagined.

I was dropping off some friends at the train station across the street, and they wanted coffee for the ride. They were seemingly out of quite a bit, but there were suitable substitute for my friends. We waited around 15 minutes before one of my friends asked if her drink was ready. The barista mentioned that it was and pointed to a cup that had been sitting on the counter for a few minutes. They never let us know that it was hers. My other friend asked on the status of his drink and was asked if he could wait 4 more minutes. We left without his coffee as they had to catch their train. We all wanted to like this place, but the service was terrible. I assume they liked their drinks as I didn't hear anything bad about them, but 15 minutes is a crazy wait time, especially when it's not busy. Even if the coffee was the best on the planet, I can't imagine most people have that long to wait. Maybe it's a one time thing, but I doubt I'll be back.

I love supporting local coffee shops especially ones that open at a decent time (6:30 am). I’ve heard good things about this place and as I try to steer away from Starbucks I thought I would try it. The Campfire drink iced was amazing. Perfectly shaken and sweet. But the breakfast sandwich I ordered was inedible. The egg….. idk I have a picture it looks more gray and green in person the picture doesn’t do it justice. I’ve never seen an egg like this. Get a new supplier. My bill with the drink and egg and cheese on an english muffin was $14 something….. The owner wasn’t super friendly either which is weird. You should be happy people are spending their hard earned income on your place. Oh well…. I guess it’s back to Starbucks.

Unfortunately this was my first and probably last visit. I really wanted to like this place. Was there around 8:30 am on a Saturday, expected more people as reviews so good generally, but I was the only person there. I ordered a breakfast sandwich on English Muffin with egg, cheese and bacon. Also a medium cup of dark roast coffee. The sandwich was terrible, almost inedible. I’m not one to send food back but I should have. Bacon was literally black. Egg tasted a little off. English muffin partially toasted. Coffee was okay, employee put milk in for me and it was a little too light. I’m always looking for an alternative to Starbucks but will not return as employee did not seem properly trained and honestly the fact that she thought black bacon was acceptable to serve, says a lot about the Cafe. Whoever is the owner and/or manager is not paying attention.

This was our first visit and we will definitely be back! My husband got a vanilla cappuccino and a croissant with egg and cheese, I got an iced latte and bagel with egg and cheese, and we shared an apple danish for dessert. The food and coffee were excellent and the service was friendly.

It's a shame that the experience was so bad. I ordered a chai latte, toasted bagel with cream cheese and 2 pre-made pastries. I waited inside for 25 minutes. When I approached the owner about my order, she said that it was half finished. I don't know what that means. When I ordered they certainly weren't busy. While waiting, I heard a customer explain that the food he ordered tasted well, but was so hard that he couldn't even bite it. The owner spoke to him and offered to remake the item and give him a discount the next time he came, but the person just asked for a refund. The owner would not give a refund and stated that she makes these all the time. I also saw a boy sitting waiting a long while for an online order. His mom had to come in and speak to the owner. The owner claimed the order only came through when he asked why it wasn't ready. The mom ended up saying they had to come back to pick it up. Another mom and daughter waited a long time for 2 milk teas and 2 breakfast sandwiches. When they finally got them, they were missing a sandwich. The mom said she could only wait 5 more minutes. I told the owner that I had to leave for an appointment and come back. When I returned at almost an hour after I initially ordered, my order was finally ready. All of that, for my chai latte to be so-so and my husbands bagel (which they asked if I wanted toasted and I said yes) was not even toasted! I don't know if they were grossly understaffed that day or what, since this was my first visit, but I will not be going back.

We ordered a chai latte, 2 already made pastries and a toasted bagel with cream cheese. It took an hour and when we finally got everything my bagel wasn't even toasted. Other customers had similar experiences while we were there with food quality and timing with one person who could not physically eat their sandwich.

This is the best place to stop and visit nestled in the heart of Chester county , a very nice suburb of Philadelphia so this is a must see for all fellow travelers, it’s a very quiet ,calm and good neighborhood, very clean, I shot pictures so you could see the area, and the menu. A very nice aspect of this particular place is , if , for instance , like most today, your working remotely and need a space to work out of, they have a private dining room space with tables ,that may be pre-booked to have a business meeting or a private conference . your laptops can be set up on all the tables and the meeting can be catered with with food and beverages, by the owners. All travelers should know that this is a midway or half-way point from Philadelphia to Lancaster County, and it is beautiful out here, antiques , china , silver, and the Amish in the bordering Lancaster County really nice farms, covered bridges on rural country roads in this same shopping center you have Primos Hoagies for an excellent Italian sub or Hoagie, you have Plato’s Closet to find a new outfit, it’s one of the best thrift shops with new or very gently used clothing, and if you are in the mood for an alcoholic beverage TJ’s is also in this shopping center excellent bar , one of the best around., and if Nudy’s cafe a breakfast place is also here enjoy JC

This is by far of the best coffee shop I’ve ever been to in my entire life. The owner is as genuine and gentle as they come I highly recommend everybody coming here and there should be no other coffee shops besides this one. As a consumer and a business owner, I question spending money at locations but this location I would never question spending a dollar. If I could leave 20 stars I would their hot chocolate is the only drink that’s allowed inside my Audi R8.

I ordered a lemon tart and while it was good, the lady at the counter did not even offer it on a plate. I was given just the tart in the aluminum foil! lol. I expected better service and manners than this.
I had to go back and ask for a plate myself.

Lovely ambiance, friendly service, and such wonderful music and decor! The hot teas were very unique and soothing. Love grabbing a tea and just decompressing. Soothing jazz, games, and books gives this place such a cozy atmosphere ☺️
