We’ve been several times. My kids love the walking trail especially in the fall. It’s family friendly and kid approved.

Absolutely one of my favorite places to go and hang out. I love the little library room, the chair is so comfy, and great for reading or working on my art. The coffee is always good and the barista is always making and recommending new coffees. The outdoor areas are sooooo cute, especially during holidays (seriously, they do a pumpkin patch for fall/halloween, and different things for winter holidays)

Don't forget to check out the areas BEHIND the shop. Nice wooded area with a little creek and plenty of seating, walking paths. I will ALWAYS recommend this place to anyone looking for a good, locally owned coffee shop.

Tucked away just off a busy road, this tidy little coffee shop is a perfect local spot. It's low-key and welcoming.

The person working gave us a rundown on the entire shop and their upcoming events like the family pumpkin patch.

I ordered the cinnamon crunch oat milk latte, and it was one of the best I've ever tasted.

They actively support causes like ARC, helping people with disabilities find jobs. It's refreshing to see a business that's so committed to its community. It's not just a coffee shop; it's a place you can feel good about supporting.

Love, love, love this sweet local coffee shop. The energy, the intentionality, the kind barista, and the delicious coffee. Totally worth getting off the highway for....a must.

I needed coffee and was directed here. While the latte wasn't amazing and the bagel was average, I still enjoyed the vibe of the place. There was a big group meeting in the main room, but there were enough side rooms that it didn't feel overly crowded. It was way too hot for me to want to sit outside, but it looked like a great place to hang out in the cooler months; especially as they serve wine and beer in the afternoon/evening!

This place is NOT the same as it was years ago. When we walked in, nobody acknowledged us. When someone finally walked up to take our order, they didn’t even say anything, just stared at me until I started talking. There’s a loud speaker right next to where you order and the person whispered the entire time, so I couldn’t hear anything that was said and got annoyed with me when I asked them to repeat themselves. Both the workers just seemed like they absolutely hated their lives and the atmosphere was just hostile and gross. You work in a coffee shop, please have a better customer service face or personality. They have things listed on the menu that they don’t even sell. Coffee was good, environment was awful and we will absolutely not be returning.

So quaint and cozy. Helps you forget the urban sprawl up the street and around the corner. You almost feel like you are in the mountains.

Very cold inside. I didn't eat or utilize service. My friend did and seemed to enjoy it . I didn't get a jello or welcome in when I entered. But it is a nice space and separate rooms for study groups etc. Seemed to have a nice option of snacks (danishes) and drinks.
