Came here to grab something very light for lunch. Very quaint & comfy cafe w/a library area. Good place to sit & enjoy a light snack & all kinds of coffee. Definitely for the avid coffee & tea drinker…& reader.

My boys love their milkshakes. My favorite is the smoothie and chicken salad. Sandwiches, coffee and snacks are all great too. They have the best staff too. Highly recommend!

I love this place! Excellent spot to study and enjoy some coffee. Thank you for the Christian music playing in the background! It’s refreshing!! The chicken salad and the Seventh Heaven coffee are my personal favorites! The Love of GOD is truly here!!!
