Quite a novel experience! Everyone engaged in friendly open conversation! Yummy snacks, homemade. Good coffee.

What a lovely place this coffee shop is. Super sweet staff, delicious beverages made with care, and I think the best empanadas I have ever had? And a cafe that is pup friendly? What more could anyone possibly want or need in this life? Other diners were also so warm and friendly. Loved finding this gem and bumping into my all time fave barista, Evan!

Absolutely obsessed with this gem of a coffee and pastry shop! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted by the warmest, kindest staff who make you feel right at home. The turmeric latte? Truly out of this world—creamy, perfectly spiced, and downright soul-soothing. And the pastries? Consider yourself warned: they're dangerously addictive in the best way possible.
The vibe here is pure comfort—quiet, cozy, and effortlessly inviting. Whether you're settling in with a good book, catching up with friends, or just enjoying some solo time, the atmosphere is ideal. They’ve thought of everything: shelves of games, great reading material, beautiful local art and goods for sale, and a variety of seating options to match your mood.
The service is outstanding—genuinely thoughtful and focused on making sure every visit is perfect. This place isn't just a coffee shop, it’s a little pocket of happiness. Can't recommend it highly enough!

I just can't say enough nice things about this spot. As I sit here and savor the leftover crumbs of my apple/ ginger croissant from breakfast this morning, I am inspired to let the world know how I feel about this gem.
From the top... the pastries, 10/10. My dirty chai latte is consistently perfect time after time. No notes. I am always greeted with a smile and super friendly staff who gleefully whisper 'pumpkin spice latte' when the season comes so as not to blow my cover.
Truly, Front Seat is wonderful place to congregate, enjoy the local crafts on display from nearby artisans, and feel like you are not only supporting the local community but putting your dollars where they matter during these trying times. All should feel welcomed there and it's heartwarming to see all the ways that the ownership and team go above and beyond to support and welcome the diverse communities that make this little area so wonderful.
Ten out of ten.
And I just wanted to shout out the exceptional playlist every time I visit, it's always on point.

Wonderful coffee and pastries. Amazing croissants, and a great collection of local pottery.
Have come a few times now, enjoy the stop for some tea and live music! Pastries are killer and the atmosphere is welcoming. Parking can be a bit busy cause it is the middle of town but for sure worth the stop!

Favorite coffee place in the U.S. It’s truly heaven. Love the vegan cookie and overnight oats in addition to the coffee.
