We went on Sunday, the day of the clocks turning and found it to be chill in there. I'm sure other people were trying to get used to the new time as well. I ordered some eggs, bacon, and hash browns. All were very amazing and fresh. The YS got the omelette and had enough to take home for breakfast the next day. All in all a great meal and I will definitely be back to try other dishes.

Amazing coffee, amazing breakfast and amazing service! I felt welcomed by the staff. I went there…read moretwo days and got coffee and a small bite to eat. The coffee was the highlight.

Walked in expecting a normal dinner, immediately realized we had made a tactical error in the best way possible. The place was packed, loud, and had that kind of energy you can't really fake. Solid 10/10 on vibes if you're in the mood for it (and even if you're not, you adjust quickly). Despite being clearly short staffed, the service was impressively good. Not "everything is perfectly on time" good, but "everyone is working hard, communicating, and actually cares" good. They were very upfront and apologetic about the delays, which honestly went a long way. Food came out a bit slower than usual (again, not surprising given the circumstances), but overall I'd put it at a strong 8/10. Nothing overhyped, just well-executed and worth ordering again. I had the classic lager and it was meh. This is very subjective I realize but I'd rate it a 4 or 5/10. All things considered, it could have easily been a frustrating experience walking in on one of the busiest nights of the year, but it wasn't. Credit to the staff for keeping things running and keeping the tone positive. I'd come back, ideally on a slightly less festive evening, but also kind of glad I saw it at full capacity.

I sent an email and the baker responded that they used the recipe from Betty Crocker's The Cooky Book - which was exactly what my Mom used. Their pastries are superb, and not too sweet. Flaky croissants, Danish's with ripe local fruit, cinnamon rolls with and without raisins (I'm team raisin). Their quiche is delicious - some have a potato crust. Their sandwiches are generous and every soup I've tried is absolutely more-ish. The staff is friendly, kind, and involved in their community. They have a fund, kept up by them and other downtown businesses, that assures the UPS driver never pays for his lunch (I love this so much.). Since Nov. 1, they're offering 1/2 sandwich + soup lunch free to those who receive SNAP benefits. (Anyone can donate $$ to keep that going) Stop by and support this awesome local business!

This is my go-to when I need lunch for a staff meeting, baked goods for a special event, and/or just a yummy snack. Here's what we've had AND highly recommend: Chocolate cupcakes Lemon cupcakes ANY deli sandwich on their made-fresh-daily focaccia bread. (you're welcome) Scones (All flavors, but my favorites are the hazelnut chocolate chip & the maple & the lemon flavors) Hubby loves all the danishes (esp. the berry ones) This place is a little gem in town that shouldn't be missed. Enjoy!

Overall, a 4/5 stars!…read more It was a perfect option for our small group of 3. They are a home turned business so, the space is limited but perfect for this small town! The food is made fresh every meal and the taste shows it! It feels very homemade with a hint of business, if that makes sense? The service is great, with it being small the fear may be too little staff to stretch all responsibilities however, based on our experience they communicate and flow seamlessly together as a team! If you're looking for a good, welcoming, and comforting breakfast this is the place! With even sweet treats available!
