We visited for the fall festivities, it was nice and quaint. The coffee was great, cinnamon rolls even better. Not a big selection in food, but enough for a quick bite. Service was lovely!

I used to love this place. But unfortunately, this time was not great. We went to visit the yearly pumpkin patch, and that part was a lovely experience. However, the rest of it not so much. Their bathroom out of order (fine, things happen), so we were allowed to use the employee bathroom instead, and a random door that was leaning on the sink fell on my two year old scratching his face and hand. If you’re going to let people use that bathroom, it needs to be in acceptable shape, not potentially hazardous. Speaking of hazardous, as we were outside around the fire pits with our kiddos, my son walked up to the log pile and started to pick up the RANDOM AXE THAT WAS JUST CHILLING THERE. Luckily I watch my child like a hawk and wasn’t distracted, so I was able to grab him before he actually picked it up. But like… if you’re going to have kid friendly areas, make sure there’s not a potential weapon of mass destruction in the vicinity. There were a few more things that were frustrating about this visit, but those were the main issues I wanted to address. There were also no adults to be found anywhere. Nobody in charge of things we could talk to. I have never left a complaint like this anywhere. I work in the restaurant industry, so I understand how things can get out of hand. But this was unacceptable, and put our children in danger. That’s where I draw the line. We will not be coming back.

Very cozy place! Small house with a caffee (drinks & bakery), restroom, room with books. And a colirful space behind the house with small creek and many nice pumpkins! Special tables for crafting with pumpkins. You can buy pumpkins (depending on size from 5 till 20 doll.) Enjoy!👍🍁

This is a great place to have some coffee, read a book or work on your laptop. Nice outdoor spaces to sit or you can walk the trails.

Kid-friendliness: My grandson loved this place.

Lovely place to sit and relax with a few friends, or by yourself. They have a good coffee selection and lots of little corners to sit and enjoy the moment. Prices are friendly too. Beautiful space out back by a little creek to go exploring.
