What People Are Saying
from Google"Just a little slice of heaven! My daughter and I came here for a treat and to write Christmas letters. The atmosphere is very cozy, there are plenty of places to sit and read or work. Great selection of books and gifts. There is space in the back outside to let kiddos run around when the weather is nice, as well as space for littles inside. Upstairs, there is a "study" with a table for groups. Absolutely love the thoughtfulness that went into this place."
"The coffee here was absolutely outstanding — truly exceptional. Served in real cups, which made the experience feel even more special. What really sets this place apart is the kids’ play area. It’s such a thoughtful touch — you can sit, read, relax, and actually enjoy your coffee while the kids play freely nearby. It feels calm, safe, and intentional. You can also browse and buy beautiful books, which adds even more charm. The whole place feels like someone’s home thoughtfully turned into a café — warm, atmospheric, and incredibly cozy. There aren’t many tables, but there are enough. It didn’t feel overcrowded at all. Such a lovely spot to slow down and enjoy a truly great cup of coffee."
"This place is utterly adorable. We drove from Smithfield because it is one of the few places in the area that accepts Bitcoin for payment. We had a great time and will enjoy visiting again! We bought a children's book and a chocolate scone. The scone was buttery and delicious! Dense like I like it, yet not too dense and I could smell the butter in it; what a treat. The book selection was nice. I particularly love the cooking selection, it's thoughtful and I can tell that someone who loves to read and also enjoys books that look beautiful has curated the collections here. The books are more expensive than online retailers, but the experience of choosing a crisp book and seeing that it is in perfect condition was worth it to me. Thank you for a fun outing at a special place 📚✨"
"🌟 I visited your coffee shop today and was completely amazed! This is truly the best place I’ve had coffee at in a long time. The atmosphere is just perfect — very cozy and clean, which creates an incredibly pleasant feeling. The coffee was insanely delicious, and I can’t help but mention your amazing coffee machine that makes really great coffee. I will definitely come back and bring all my friends! I recommend everyone to stop by — you won’t regret it! ☕❤️"
"Visited today - very shortly after opening. I’d likely only come back at similar time as the parking lot was packed upon leaving.. The service was great and quick. Bathroom was clean. My 2 year old loved the toddler areas. Coffee was delicious. Basic breakfast sandwich was delicious. Excited to try the cinnamon roll tomorrow morning. Several people were there eating/working which is a great idea as WFH employee. Outside area would be perfect for a “coffee date” with a little too! Excited to bring my husband to check it out. Oh and ofc the book selection was huge!"
