They were happy to let us take our time browsing and choosing a few treats, which we really appreciated. We picked out three different cupcake flavors, and every one of them was beautiful and delicious. My personal favorite was the Dark Knight cupcake--rich and decadent.

And we wanted to stop in Northfield so we could explore the town. We got there around 9am and the only goal was to find a really good breakfast spot. After some research, we ended here. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted by a very kind staff member. They walked us through the menu and encouraged us to get the breakfast sandwich since we were really hungry. We got that alongside a pumpkin spice muffin and a scone. All three things tasted so fresh. They were warm, not overly sweet, but very flavorful. The breakfast sandwich (we added bacon for a dollar) was probably my favorite thing. The bread wasn't hard and dense. It was perfect! This place is spacious. It was easy for us to find and table. There's also parking right in front of it!

Both were good - service was slow and the staff was grumpy. They had just gotten over the 12 noon lunch rush and it must have taken a toll on them. They kept fighting about who was going to slice more provolone cheese for our sandwiches. (Not something that I was to know about while I"m trying to order - plus 90% of the sandwiches have provolone cheese on them!) It was a cute spot and seemed like a good place for the college kids to study in the afternoons. Decorations were cozy and made you want to stay a while. I would go back and hope that everyone was a bit happier.

It's definitely a sweeter latte and tasted more like a dessert, but I knew that going into it and it was great. That cream cheese cold foam is incredible! I personally did not love the Fiona Apple but still giving this place 5 stars because it may have been a poor choice on my end. The patio is so big and cute as well! I highly recommend going here! I would love to go back when they have the raspberry danish latte back on the menu!

I think our first thought was 'oh no, it's going to take forever'. We were very wrong. The line moved pretty quickly, and our drinks were out within a few minutes. First drink, a hot Not Pumpkin Spice Latte: this one was one of their seasonal ones, it was good. But it didn't stand out as much as the other ones we tried. Not overly sweet. It would be perfect for a cold day! Second drink, a sparkling apple cider matcha, we LOVED this one. It was so unique. It was definitely sweet, but so refreshing. It was clever, we have never had one before! The color, just perfect too. Third drink, another seasonal one, the carrot cake. You can only get it iced. I did not get a strong carrot flavor, but the cold foam was perfectly executed, the cream cheese frosting was so on point. A solid spice blend iced coffee. Fourth drink, chaider, we got it hot. It was a good mix of sweet and spice, it was an apple cider mixed with chai. So smooth, easy to drink, very fall, yet so unique. Fifth drink was the best one, the salted maple bourbon, you can (also) only get it iced. So well balanced, maple was nice and the salt just brought out so many different notes. This one I would love to get again and again. I hope they keep it. Ambiance was perfect for a Sunday morning. If you want to study, there is some sitting inside, but also outside. Their outside area was so spacious and it has a view of the water. The inside gets pretty crowded, but if you get a spot, enjoy it.

Having a hard time sitting still, "this isn't a jungle gym" being thrown around ultimately leading to a stern scolding from dad resulting in tears. Brenda stopped by and in her genuinely sweet voice asked if he was ok. Then she brought his food out about 20 seconds later to help appease a restless kiddo. Not all hero's wear capes and Brenda is a hero. In times where it feels like the personal touch is getting wiped away with disinfectant, Brenda brings that even through her mask. Bless you Brenda.

The service was incredibly kind and welcoming, with the warmth you'd expect from a small-town business. The ambiance was exceptional--from the charming storefront to the inviting interior. They even had toys available for families with young kids, which was a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. And the food absolutely won me over. Every bite was packed with flavor, and everything was so tender it practically melted apart. It felt fresh, carefully prepared, and in a completely different league than the typical sandwich chains. Places like Subway simply can't replicate this experience. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of a few surfaces. The counter where I signed my receipt and our table were both noticeably sticky and seemed like they could have used a quick wipe-down. It was an area that stood out but certainly wasn't enough to keep me from coming back! Overall fabulous!!
