Customer Reviews
Stopped in for a morning coffee and really enjoyed the experience. The staff are genuinely friendly and welcoming—they greet every customer with a smile and take the time to engage in real conversation, not just rush through service. The atmosphere is relaxed and pleasant, the kind of place where people actually talk to each other. What stood out most was how connected they are to the local community. There was even a thoughtful conversation happening about traffic through town versus local access and how rerouting could impact small businesses—an interesting and refreshing perspective you don’t hear everywhere. It’s clear this shop cares about more than just coffee. A great spot to slow down, support a local business, and start the day on a positive note.
We'd love this coffee shop. I don't drink coffee, but my wife raves about how good it is. I do love the baked goods they offer. I have never had a chocolate chip.Cookie taste like this one. If you are near this coffee shop, you should definitely stop in.It is worth the trip.
I love this place.They're creme brulee, coffee is the best. The atmosphere is warm and the owners are amazing. The baked goods amazing not store bought at all. When we go here every time we are in town. We love that they opened this little coffee shop.
First of all, they need to get some new employees to help out second of all they need to open at a decent time. People are copy at like 6 o’clock in the morning not 10 AM. I mean it’s a coffee shop people want coffee early that means you get up and get in there and get the sub brewing now I mean by 10 o’clock we’re done we want dinner we want lunch I mean seriously come on guys.
Fair prices, friendly staff, wonderful pastries and coffee. Drink selection is on point. The atmosphere will definitely be something special once the interior is finished :)
