It's a painting, an arts and craft, a bakery, and a coffee shop. Great place for friends to get together and spend quality time, with great refreshment. They make their own bread, Cheddar scallion scones, chocolate chip cookies, sandwiches, and many other items. My favorites are the different coffees and teas. The staff is very pleasant and helpful, both with the food service and the arts. What a gem to have on Main Street.

Surprisingly good food in a pottery painting place…read more Been meaning to review this place for a while. Each time I'd go in, see no one around, then left. This last attempt, there was a bunch of staff around so I got the full experience. The staff were very friendly and informative. They explained the pottery painting side of things to anyone painting a piece. They had a wealth of knowledge in that regard, explaining how to get the best results for each medium. I wasn't here for the pottery, I was here for the food. So they sat at a 4 top and let me go up to the cafe to order. The menu is basic, egg sandwiches, avocado toast, French toast, coffees and lattes. Some fresh baked pastries available but mostly simple dishes. I opted for their French toast latte and an egg sandwiches with bacon. Also got a cinnamon roll that was baked that morning. Food came out after a few minutes. Not speedy but not slow. Took some pics and dug in. There's a fundamental rule that I follow when reviewing. "The flavors on the description need to match the flavors of the dish." There's sandwich did this exemplary. The garlic aoli had a strong but slightly acidic bite to it, which helped the arugula's bitterness. The egg was fluffy, the tomato grilled and salted, and the bacon perfectly crispy. The soft home made bread was almost too soft, compressing down to nothing after each bite. If anything, the bread could've been grilled to give it a bit more structure. But besides that gripe, it's one of the best breakfast sandwiches I've had. The latte, that's what took the star off. The coffee is giv beans, so a good quality product. The problem was it was extremely, overbearingly bitter. With a French toast latte, you'd expect the sweet to counteract the bitter. But nope, the sweet came from the cold foam and the concentrated coffee at the base led to straight sips of cringingly bitter coffee. After mixing the cold foam into the coffee, it became more bearable. But the damage was done by that point, and my pallet was shot. Had to dump most of the coffee. Overall, it's a neat place to go to. It's rare to have activities along with good food, and the staff there make the experience great. Not too much a fan of the specialty coffee, but the food is well worth the price. A solid food choice for Main Street.

Hot food on plastic is not great for your health or the environment, so I hope they switch these out with something more eco and human friendly.

My friend and I walked in and we could see that the establishment is small and asked for a bigger table being that we're taller and bigger woman. We were denied because their policy of three or more at that specific table. The issue was the Co-owner's approach to the situation. I felt like instead of having an attitude she could have handled the matter in a professional respectful manner instead of saying and I quote "you're getting made over a table". They should work on their greetings and mannerisms when approached with a discrepancy.

It's located inside State House Square Pavilion Food Court, a convenient spot for all those working in downtown. This was my first time here and I tried the Mighty Aphrodite salad: romain & arugula, garlic shrimp, feta, cucumbers, grape tomatoes, red onion, herb vinaigrette. It came with a bag of chips. The salad was good, except the shrimp, which was extremely salty and the herb vinaigrette, sweet (both of which I didn't like). So I ate the salad without them. I probably will be back to give it one more try and built my own salad.

Man, that burrito was banging! I really liked the salsa, it complemented the steak and eggs very well. I also got the yogurt with fruit and honey, which was so refreshing for after my workout. The service is really friendly and I would say there is a bit of a wait but it's because your food is being prepped per order. They don't offer any grilled items on Friday so just be mindful if that's what you're looking for. There are plenty of seats in the Statehouse Square cafeteria but a limited number of outlets.

Kim, the bartender, is the GM and former GM at Poncho Loco from 7 years ago. She immediately served a nice glass of ice water. The music is nice too. They have an open kitchen. There's quite a few tables too and a patio. The pizza oven is finally installed! For my first drink, I'm having a Peg-Arita made either tequila, Triple Sec, fresh lime, fresh lemon and agave simple syrup. This is quite good! It's nicely garnished and well balanced. For my starter, I'm having the Caesar Side Salad made with romaine lettuce, topped with focaccia croutons, Pecorino Romano cheese and Caesar dressing. This is real good! It's nicely tossed and tastes great!I love the croutons! Good portion too! Out comes the fried spaghetti! They taste like pretzels! They add a bit of salt too. How original!

There a sugary enemy to these. I love the side of carrots and celery with ranch dressing! For my next item, I'm having the Reuben Dog made with Swiss cheese, sauerkraut and Thousand Islands dressing. This is great! I love these chips! These's a lot of them! For my second drink, I'm having the Be Nice Throw It On Ice which is Amsterdam Vodka and a mixer. I'll have orange juice (aha a "Screwdriver"). This is good! Well done! I haven't had I've of these in years! For my next drink, I'm having the Cold Brew Martini made with chilled cold brew, vodka, Kahlua and coffee liqueur. I rarely have this! It is quite good! For my entree, I'm having the Blackened Grilled Chicken Sandwich which is made with cherry peppers, lettuce, tomato, American cheese on a toasted roll. I'm adding jalapeños (lots) and Calabrian chili oil. The mayo is very light! I can have this more often! In place of fries, I'm having a Side Salad made with romaine lettuce, cucumber, red onion, toasted tomato, fennel, Parmesan cheese and red wine vinaigrette. The Side Salad is good! That's a big portion! The croutons are huge! For my dessert, I'm having the Bread Pudding made with warm banana drizzled with chocolate served with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and whipped cream.

It was a very hot day today so my daughter and I decided we could use a fresh smoothie. When I say the OMG smoothie hit the spot it hit the spot. It was chilled with the perfect taste of mango and pineapple sweetness with a little sour and that agave kicked it up to the next level. The ladies behind the counter were welcoming and kind. The steak sandwich I got was ok but I think it's cause of the ingredients I added. The sourdough bread I got it on was maybe too thin then I added oil and vinegar which was kind of too much for that poor thin bread. The flavor was there, the steak was good, the beets and blue cheese delicious. They even added jalapeño which wasn't on the menu for me and for that I am appreciative. I will definitely be back to try more delicious combos. Thank you Sweetwater!

Cozy, charming, the kind of place that practically begs you to believe great Italian food is coming. But looks don't season food. From the pasta fagioli to the eggplant parm sandwich, the common thread was impossible to ignore: bland. Not subtly restrained. Not "let the ingredients speak." Just flat. No depth, no punch, no reason to go back for another bite. Italian food should comfort you and excite you at the same time--this did neither. Credit where it's due: portions are generous, and the bread was fresh and nicely toasted, which honestly might have been the most flavorful thing on the table. But when bread becomes the highlight at an Italian spot, that's a problem. I wanted to love Lenoci's. The space sets you up for it. Unfortunately, the food doesn't deliver.
