Really great coffee, great owners, and a great space to hang out. We didn't feel rushed to eat/drink and leave like other cafés. This definitely feels like a 3rd place that is lacking today

I have to share that this place holds the award of the best coffee I ever had in my 26 years of life. I genuinely cannot tell you how unfair it is to anyone who doesn’t go here…. My husband and I went early in August and talked to the owners… they were so nice to us and complimented us and we even bought some lovely pieces from their antique shop! This coffeeshop has it all: delicious coffee that is just the perfect amount of flavor, owners with hearts of gold who compliment you and have so much care and love for the business, and an epic community feel buttressed by the antique shop! We’re from New York and go to coffeeshops religiously …. I have yet to find something that feels like this place or tastes like this place! PLEASE GO HERE!!! They deserve all the support!!! Thank you again for everything!

I stopped into this little coffee shop while on a camping trip because I needed a spot to get some work done, and it ended up being the perfect find. The coffee was excellent, the food was absolutely fabulous, and the internet was fast enough to keep me productive all day. The music created such a great vibe—chill and not distracting.

The shop is family owned and they were all so friendly and attentive. As an out-of-towner, it was the ideal place to park myself for a full workday. Cozy, welcoming, and everything you’d want from a small-town coffee shop. I’ll definitely make this a go-to stop whenever I’m back in the area!

This café is an absolute gem. From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere feels warm, cozy, and welcoming—like stepping into a hidden retreat. The décor is quaint and charming, with thoughtful touches that make you want to linger over your coffee a little longer.

The food is nothing short of amazing. Every dish feels crafted with care, bursting with flavor and freshness. Whether it’s a simple pastry or a full meal, the quality and attention to detail truly stand out.

What makes the experience even more special is the service. The staff go above and beyond to make sure every guest feels cared for. They’re attentive without being intrusive, always greeting you with a smile, and genuinely making you feel like a valued part of the café family.

A place like this is rare—where atmosphere, food, and service all shine equally. It’s the kind of spot you’ll want to return to again and again.

Staff is extremely friendly. Ordered the biscuits and gravy. It was so good I came back the next day and had it again.

Best mocha on the peninsula, like they're meant to taste. Enjoyed each sip immensely. Chatted with owner Kyle, got a mini French lesson from Wyatt the barista, admired the art and antiques, and felt like family by the time we left. Fun, relaxing, quirky atmosphere. If you love Ilwaco, you'll feel at home here. Can't recommend this place and these people highly enough.

It was our first time visiting and we loved it! I'm not a coffee drinker so I got a great Peach Red Bull Italian soda instead. We had great conversations with the owners, who were extremely friendly and welcoming. We picked up some antiques from the in-shop antique displays as well! We will DEFINITELY be back tomorrow to try the food on the menu!
