★★★★★ 5.0 Adriane Mummert · Jul 2025

Unexpected gem on our road trip through Virginia! Great coffee, iced tea & lemonade and great books to peruse, set in a beautiful old church!

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Rye Maclone · Feb 2025

A very quiet and small coffee shop. The drinks were alright, and it was interesting to look around. The biggest problem was the lack of music, as even if it was barely noticeable, it would have made the place less eerily quiet.

★★★★★ 5.0 Kylee Snow · Jul 2025

I walked in to find a quaint and peaceful atmosphere. The kind where you can sit down and enjoy a drink or light snack and take a few moments to just breathe. This is the kind of place I would love to spend a quiet afternoon, and one I have actively been recommending to my friends and coworkers. The young woman working behind the counter was friendly and patient with me, being my first time there and having no idea about what to order. I asked for her input for a nice snack that could be eaten quickly and was recommended the peach muffins. 10/10 on the muffins, especially when warmed. I also got a strawberry banana smoothie to go with it, which was equally delicious. I think the cold smoothie and warm muffin actually went very well together. Will definitely be visiting again.

Absolutely amazing find. Excellent baked goods and the pumpkin bread was to die for. So good that we went back in for more to take home. Really good coffee the young lady who was running the place really pleasant and helpful
