I love this laid-back, casual place. It’s a cozy, family-owned café in the Colonial Williamsburg area. The owners are amazing: very friendly and welcoming, always greeting you with a warm smile. The baristas truly go above and beyond to accommodate you, which makes the experience even better.
It’s a great spot for lounging with friends and enjoying a cup of coffee or just relax with a cup of tea while watching the world go by through their beautiful large windows, which offer lovely views of Williamsburg and the William & Mary campus. They also play nice music, and the décor feels warm and comfortable, making it easy to stay for long hours.
I tried their cappuccino and the London Fog lavender tea, and both were delicious. The prices are reasonable and affordable, especially for the William & Mary community with the 15% discount. It’s also a relaxing and pleasant workspace for students and professionals who want to work outside of home or campus. Defiantly a great spot in Williamsburg to enjoy!

It’s a cute place to lounge with friends, with cozy, girly vibes that feel like sitting in a living room. However, if you care about coffee taste or quality, this may not be the place for you. The coffee is quite mediocre and, for the price, not good value for money.

That said, the baristas are very kind and accommodating—Habiba in particular was extremely helpful. I recently moved to Williamsburg and usually go to Illy’s for my coffee, but I decided to try a new spot for a morning writing session.

The Wi-Fi here is better than Illy’s, and the chairs are comfortable, but the tables are poorly designed and make working uncomfortable. If you sit on the couch, you’re too low and far from the power outlets, which makes laptop use difficult. Also, if you’re sitting alone on the couch, you end up occupying a large portion of the small space.

Overall, it’s a nice place for lounging and socializing, but not ideal for studying, writing, or working if that’s what you’re looking for.

☕️ Fine for an average shop not good for people who value great quality coffee/espresso. ☕️

We were on vacation and didn’t have our normal set up so the pot of coffee I made at the house that morning was very weak, couldn’t really be called coffee. So we went out to find a local coffee shop that would have nice quality and well made drinks. We came in Monday around 11am and saw one worker and a couple guests. When ordering I didn’t find the service very friendly or inviting for a tourist town. We were told they didn’t have any pour over options available at the moment, so I ordered a drip coffee. It was weak, worse than the one I made earlier that morning. My husband got an espresso drink to try out their beans and it tasted burnt with no real flavor. When he asked for a sample of the espresso beans to look at, he could tell they were of low quality.

The atmosphere was nice and our kids loved the games that were available for guests to play. I also liked that they have a cooler of bottled drink options and packaged snacks.

I would say that for an average cute coffee shop they are fine but if you really care about the quality of the drinks this didn’t cut it for us. Neither my husband nor I drank ours and we didn’t ask for replacement drinks because they weren’t made wrong, they just were bad quality.

The food was just okay, but the service was quite slow, we waited about 15 minutes for our beverages. I also asked the waiter for milk or cream for my coffee, and it didn’t arrive until we requested the check. I hope they improve their service to make the experience better.

Nice atmosphere. My mocha didn't have the syrup mixed in at all, so I needed to stir it a bit myself. Handed me my apple turnover in a baggie, which was weird. I should've asked for a mug and a plate, as I was eating there. Well-meaning college-age kid, I think, but could've been better.
