The bakery has a lot to choose from. Cake, pies, tarts, muffins, and rolls. What an awesome treat to visit and pick up sweets. However I did not see any soft cookies... They were all chewy.

Absolutely delicious grilled portobello sandwich! Delightful soup and sandwich place. Love that any sandwich can be converted to a salad (but honestly that soft toasted whole wheat bread was divine)
Reusable dishes are expensive but glasses and washable silverware would make this place perfect.

Loved the place, location and menu. But the chicken salad was blah. Bread was very soft and fresh.

Incredible food and value for money. The flavors are complex and so rewarding. Coffee is immaculate. Didn’t love the iced tea syrups (lavender) but that’s preference based. Highly highly recommend

An excellent little sandwich spot with superb fare. Staffed with very pleasant folks. Plenty of free municipal parking out front so you can park, eat, then perambulate around historic Occoquan.

Nice little cafe.

I've been working in Occoquan for 8 years. I know every restaurant in the town. I'm so glad that we have them here.
I'm a picky eater, but they never disappoint me.
I always feel they try to provide the best service even when the shop is really busy.

The avocado toast ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ and the cracked egg sandwich is amazing. Coffee Hazelnut Latte ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ (crack)

Really enjoyed the Ballywhack burrito and lavender lemonade! The burrito was fresh, hot, and super flavorful. All of the ingredients went together so well. My sister loved her avocado toast too!

The little picture they have chosen to display on their Google Business profile is of a latte or something in a real cup. Disappointed to get my cappuccino in a paper cup when I specifically sought out an independent business to enjoy a lovely, leisurely coffee in a real cup. I was told they only have paper cups. Why display this picture then if their business model is grab and go?

Had the prickly pear lemonade. Perfect blend of tart and sweet. Had Bacon me crazy sandwich with good amount bacon and great sauce. Also had Horse’n round sandwich with generous amount of roast beef. Love this place. Everything was very good and high quality ingredients.

I had a great experience with the service and really liked the outside seating arrangement. My only critiques would be the apple pastry, which was quite dry and didn't have the gooey texture I usually look for, and the chai. While some may enjoy it, I think the chai was made with an Oregon chai concentrate blend, and I personally find that blend too sweet. I much prefer when shops offer in-house chai blends with their own unique spices, though I understand that's not always an option. For concentrates, I've found Dona Chai to be a better choice.

We stopped here by chance when googling “gluten free restaurants.” This was by far, hands down, some of the best gluten free sandwich’s we’ve had while traveling & ordered even more for later. It’s small on the inside but there’s a front porch to relax on! Oh and the staff are awesome and will happily answer any questions you may have!
