Recent Reviews
Great latte and cappuccinos. Omelots were lackluster. Personally, I enjoy the 'extras' of an omelette embedded in my thick omelette. This was like a pancake omelette with bacon and green onion placed between a sandwich of non fluffy eggs. It might as well have been a side of bacon and onions with a folded egg. My fruit with the omelette was abundant and fresh! Over easy egg was good. Nice patio seating!

This place is very well maintained. Coffee is still coffee, not overly modified with syrups creamers and other junk like scooters or Starbucks. It sticks to the roots of a good coffee. The food is also very well done. The BLT had the perfect amount of bacon , lettuce, the tomato was cut nice and thin so it did not soak the toast. I was very impressed, also had options for the little ones so that was a plus .

Often considered the lesser of the two Cottonwoods in town, but I like that it has more glass than the other, along with a great amount of outdoor seating.
Really nice vibes here. Perfect for hanging with a friend.
