Plenty of space to read, study, or catch up with a friend. The baristas were all super friendly. I love their fall seasonal menu right now. I also appreciate how many decaf options they have! My husband always orders a vanilla latte whenever we go to a coffee shop, hot or cold depending on the season. I ordered the decaf pumpkin latte cold brew. Their flavors are so so good! Not synthetic/fake tasting like some others. The shop is located in a great spot where you can easily take your coffee and walk around the area. Or you can drive a few minutes down the road and explore Hidden Falls along the river. Highly recommend this spot!

There was a small line but it moved quickly. There are some tables and booths for small to medium groups, but they fill up fast! We were lucky to snag one!

Super solid coffee shop for those in the area needing that caffeine boost!

The line wasn't too long when I arrived, so I didn't have to wait long to place my order or receive my drink. I ordered the rose water latte with oat milk, and it was absolutely delicious! beautifully made, subtly sweet, and perfectly balanced. I also tried the almond croissant, which was incredibly flaky on the outside and soft and buttery in the middle. The customer service was friendly, the space was clean and welcoming, and overall it was such a good experience. I'll definitely be stopping in more often!

Thought I should get something, as I took up space, parking and used the wifi. I ordered the springtime lemonade that is featured with light ice, small size.

But using the wifi was justified to complete online documents.

I get if you are tired but rudeness is not okay . Be ready to work and greet guests . Do not just be a body at work . Kids these days have no work ethic these days. So disappointing!

I do like the fact that they will use black or green tea with any of their drinks. I'm not a green tea fan, so that's an important option for me. I got a black fruit tea with pineapple and passion fruit with strawberry popping bobas. The tea had a perfect blend of flavors and the boba was cooked just right. We also got a cookies and cream smoothie with tapioca. My son said it was the best one he's had! He also got a banh mi. He said it was good, but not great. The pork could have been more flavorful and it needed more cilantro. Overall, I recommend this place! Give them a try!

The timing didn't work for me to try ice cream, so I opted for an iced latte. The coffee had a nice flavor. It looked like they had a freezer of homemade ice cream pints for purchase.

It was clearly a popular spot with folks driving up or walking to get a cool treat. Lots of families. Good stop.

The spot appeared to be very popular among bikers grabbing a beverage or snack on their morning rides. I had an iced latte, which was tasty on a hot summer day.

The baristas were all so sweet, and made for a great overall experience:)
