    What an incredible little spot in Boyertown. Actually, it's not so little as you see the indoor seating area but our first visit was nice enough outside to order and have them bring our meals to our table. They have a fairly new chef in the kitchen and she offers some amazing original sandwiches, soups and salads. Desserts too! I had to get the Meatloaf & Bacon Jam Press - Homemade meatloaf, bacon & onion jam, melted cheddar cheese, on a ciabatta. It was one of THE BEST sammies in my life. Amazing combination of flavors and the ciabatta was pressed like a panini so flaky and crispy. Slightly sweet and so savory. My wife loves the pulled pork sandwich too and I also grabbed a chili to go, which did not disappoint. Looking forward to trying some breakfast items and their many drink concoctions. Recommend!

    What great little spot in Boyertown. The quaint atmosphere is delightful and the food is a treat. We tried the Nutella and Banana Toast and the Bagel with Locks. Delish!

    Soup of the day..white chicken chili

    The only complaint I have is that there are very few vegetarian options. I went with 3 other ladies and we had a nice lunch. As of 11/17/20 there is no indoor seating. They do offer courtesy blankets though and a heater outside. We ordered and our food was brought out to us. The arnold palmer was delicious (fresh squeezed lemonade). One of my friends got the soup of the day and said it was really good (white chicken chili). 3 of us got the special (carnitas rice bowl). It was really good! Extra charge for avocado and sour cream. The cilantro crema on top is reallyyyy good. I wish they would have a vegetarian option of this because $10.50 for rice beans and corn seemed extra. Lovedddd the chocolate chip pumpkin muffin. Very moist. The servers were really sweet! They have alot of coffee options but I don't drink coffee so cant review those haha

    Cute place. Nice outside seating. However, I am not sure I'll ever go again as the counter staff was very unfriendly

    Poor breakfast food with overpriced coffee that was relatively good. It overlooks a cool train stop

    I'll start with the positives.. the workers were really nice and the place was cute (grandma vibes…read more/quirky). Okay now onto the other stuff. When we went, most of their coffee specials were sold out. They're also dairy free but why don't they advertise that? We had people after us also ask for dairy milk too. We ordered one of their spring lattes and a cortado and the barista asked "hot or iced" for the cortado. I don't think I've ever had an iced cortado in my life. When i got my regular cortado (hot), it was in a 10-12 oz cup (look at my picture of the cortado cup vs my medium latte) and don't get me wrong.. i do love that because it's huge but .. as a coffee roaster... y'all don't do the typical cortado size? It was weird to me. Like they just opened a coffee roaster/coffee shop but don't really know the coffee basics? The espresso shot pulled was also pretty sour. I don't think I've ever had a bad shot with a coffee roaster shop but this one is an exception i guess. Spring latte was also not good. Syrup was nonexistent in flavor and latte was watery. If you were to come here & want a hot latte, just order a hot cortado. You'd get more bang for your buck.

    Great service although I was upset that they didn't have the sour dough. I was asked if I wanted…read moreeverything bagel but that would've been an extra charge. So I (begrudgingly in my head) went with plain. I tried to come here yesterday but they closed at 3 PM and this was not mentioned on their IG either. I tried to come here around 445 PM because I had a gift card to use up. The chick pea sandwich isn't too shabby with the buffalo flavor. I think it would've bored me without it. Maybe lettuce and tomato would make this stand out but this place might not get the traffic to try to maintain lettuce and tomato in theory facility. The strawberry crunch donut has good flavor on the outside and inside. They took my food away before I could finish it. One of my drinks still had stuff in it too. A bit upset about that. Guess I should let the staff know next time so that they didn't think I left as I had to go to the bathroom badly. I know it can be hard to tell if someone is leaving food for waste which I hate to do but it was also respectable quality too. Maybe I shouldn't complain because I ended up wanting to go to the Phoenixville Farmer's market the next day and then picked up a hat I forgot about from Blue Label Men's Grooming right before I left Phoenixville. Though I am a Yelp reviewer and I like to complain too.
