Loved visiting and supporting this local business - they are spacious with comfy seating and best of all, the drinks are so tasty, and the owner/employees are super friendly! We even learned about community events they will be hosting! Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!"
"Clean, friendly coffee shop. Ordered a 16oz dulce de leche latte, it needed more kick. The barista was kind and efficient. Place was empty on a Friday morning. Maybe next time I will order an extra espresso and try their sandwiches."
"Great community oriented spot, sharing space with a bakery and featuring their own roasts. There's plenty of seating and everything we ordered was pretty good."
