This is a great place to take anyone who is interested in history, particularly those interested in the abolition of slavery and 19th century America. Great for smaller groups. Call ahead for a tour.

Their building is a stunning display of history, but it also goes on forever.

Absolutely recommend this business!! Grew up in the area but moved away before it opened and I'm so…read moreglad I got to try it while in town visiting family!! My mom knows the owner, Meg, and she is such a wonderful presence!! The storefront itself is so cute, I love that it's in a little house and there's plenty of space inside for sitting, groups, and events! When we came on Saturday there was actually a baby shower happening in the main room and I thought the space was perfect for this. I ordered a glow smoothie, matcha latte, and a carrot muffin. The muffin was delicious - tasted very healthy but also sweet and was the perfect morning treat after a workout. The smoothie was also great and pretty filling. The matcha was amazing. I've had matcha at a few different places in Delafield and have not been super thrilled about them. This one was great and I would 100% recommend it - not too sweet and didn't just taste like oat milk. Meg told us that in order to serve this tea, the matcha company basically had to interview her and instruct her on the best ceremonial practices. I thought that the care the servers put into the matcha was really special. Overall, such a great space to stop by if you're in the area or are in need of a gathering place!! The servers and Meg are wonderful and I definitely recommend.

I wouldn't imagine there are seats in there but there were a couple outside!
