TrueBean tickles my tastebuds in a different way. The flavors are complex yet smooth and I haven't met a roast I didn't like. My favorite is the Tanzania Peaberry. The art on the bags is gorgeous as well and created by the roaster/owner, Jason. Grab a cup at the Lockport Community Market, The Lock Keeper Coffee House, or on their website. Do it!

We did make a reservation about a week ahead of time. Even if you are just going to the coffee shop and not doing a craft, it is so cute and cozy in there. My oat milk latte was delicious, as well as the cinnamon fig oatmeal. However, I do wish they offered more pastries!! They only had one type of cookie when I was there. The craft space is next door. Many different options to choose from- I opted to make a keychain from the bead bar. It was such a relaxing way to spend quality time with my group. Highly recommend checking this place out.

Eventually the secret will get out about this place and none of us "in the know" will be able to…read morefind a table. This was my first visit and I'm ready to become their next regular. The best way I can describe this restaurant is that it gives you a feeling of community. It was clear to me I was dining with a bunch of regulars since one of the people at the table next to me walked up and grabbed a can of pop from the refrigerator behind the counter, cracked it open and told Diane to add it to her ticket. Another guy at a different table got up and served himself coffee. I noticed someone else walking out from behind the bar when we walked in. I'm not sure what she was doing, but apparently it's understood when you're a regular that you're also family. I had a soup and my friend who was with me had a BLT. We were both extremely happy with our food and service. We grabbed a table near the door when we first walked in because I like to sit on the perimeter my first time visiting a place. I like to take in everything, and this place does not disappoint. Take a look at my photos to see how little I had to pay for good food and quality service. Truth be told, I was out looking at houses before taking a break at Cousin's. If I didn't want to move to Lockport before, I sure as heck want to now! Heck, I may even stop in and ask Diane for a job. The dish washer did not show up for work the day we were there, so she was pulling double duty. I'm not sure if she has someone else cooking or not, so maybe triple duty! Once word gets out about how great and affordable this place is, she'll be needing the help. Or like me, all the new people will feel instantly like family and just pitch in where needed.

There is a wide variety of bagels to pick from, after that you pick your schmear. I went for the cheddar bagel with a hot cherry pimento cream cheese. Wonderful. The bagel is very good with a nice topping of cheddar and the schmear was really, really good. It had little spicy pieces in it, so every bit was a surprise. Sometimes creamy, sometimes with a little kick. I guess we found a great stop for our longer bike rides. Almost forgot: they make a great cappuccino too with a nice and foamy top. Wonderful.

I didn't want to miss out, so I showed up close to when they opened and I was able to secure the goods. Other than the cinnamon rolls, their cases were neatly organized and full of cookies, cupcakes and some breakfast pastries. Everything looked delicious. I liked that they had prepackaged sampler breakfast pastry boxes... I almost left with one of those too, but decided I probably didn't need more than the cinnamon roll. Now onto the cinnamon roll... First, let's get my one disappointment out of the way; it wasn't fresh blueberries :( however, it wasn't just a blueberry cinnamon roll, it was a TRIPLE blueberry cinnamon roll; not only did the filling have blueberry, but the dough itself and the cream cheese frosting also had blueberry mixed in. Heck ya! The cinnamon roll was fluffy and moist. The frosting was just the right amount and not overly sweet. I really enjoyed this roll. The staff was friendly and welcoming and the prices were good. I can definitely see myself visiting again... Hopefully I'll be able to keep it to a reasonable amount since I do pass by often in my travels. They are celebrating their 10th anniversary!
