I always secretly hope the host sends cookies back home with me, but there's almost never any left. ( I really should just buy a second tray, shouldn't I?) Each time I've been here the people behind the counter have been so helpful and happy to chat, even when it's super early in the morning. The prices are pretty good compared to other bakeries in the area as well. I wish I had more special events, because the cakes here always look so beautiful.

Super cute! Love that a brunch/cafe replaced the sad ice cream shop that did Christy wrong by not…read moremaintaining Christy's level of quality. The owner is so intentional and sweet. Inside is nice and bright and airy. But it is packed. There seems to be a lot of tables and chairs and plants and furniture for the square footage. I don't know how it all fits. But it's still cute and definitely an aesthetic choice. There's also a kids nook, which is so, so nice for families with littles. Lots of things there for kids to occupy themselves with. Our kids had a blast. Food is so good! Loved everything we got. Well-balanced flavors. Crepes were light as air. Definitely pricier. But I think it's worth it for a special occasion. The coffee is good too, which makes everything even better. Because what good is a strong breakfast or brunch place if the coffee is weak? What we got: - salmon avocado toast - strawberry crepe - italian basil crepe

Took our little here for the first time today, and he just turned one so we just missed the cut off…read morefor him being free. Bummer, haha. But it was $17 for the day, which isn't too bad. I do wish there was a half day price for littles under 3 because they for sure won't last the full day to enjoy the play. We lasted about an hour, it took little man about 20 minutes or so to get used to the play area, esp with all of the screaming big kids. The ceiling space really does carry the screams quite a bit so he got startled often but ended up still having a great time. The space was spacious and the staff was incredibly nice. We also ordered little man a meal after 3 and got a discount. We got a few drinks as well. We got him a grilled cheese and it came with veggie straws and a beverage. Since he couldn't drink juice yet, they offered milk which he did get to enjoy. Overall a great experience, and recommend to any parents looking to tire their kiddos out during break.

I checked the app before we went for Friday lunch to get on the waitlist and there was no wait. We arrived and were seated right away - no wait. Service was very good this time. Our server was pleasant and attentive. I ordered the Power Bowl - quinoa, kale, Italian sausage, basted eggs, no cheese. (There is probably something I'm missing.) The portion size was good - I was able to finish the whole thing and not walk out uncomfortable. All in all, this was a very good experience.

They have plenty of coffee flavors and options to kick start your morning but also sell bottles of wine and drinks for the evening. This visit, I got a Bourbon Caramel Iced Coffee and my husband got a Hot Chai Latte. The Chai was on the sweeter side but had good flavor. My coffee was the perfect caffeine strength but it could have used a bit more syrup flavoring. Overall, the staff member who helped us was great and very kind! I'd love to come back and try one of their customer favorites.

Still overall, I would highly recommend!

The menu offers a nice variety of light meal options as well as unique iced tea and lemonade options. We tried the grilled cheese and the veggie Mexican bowl and both were tasty. We found the prices were a tad high for the portion sizes, but would definitely go back if in the area. Street parking is at a premium during lunchtime and on the weekends; however, there are several free lots in town if you take a couple drives around the block. Give it a try!
