(Note, I'm from Louisville, and a dear friend of mine here has been known to request a drink to be brought back from this spot, so that should be a testament even if I say no more!) Delightful little space, with a good range of coffees and other caffeinated options...and the seasonal menus are must-try events! Basic coffee riffs, wildly sweet concoctions topped with foam and such, they'll have something you'll enjoy. Do not skip the breakfast/lunch options either...always tasty, and great value. Baristas are always welcoming and helpful. Bottom line: if you are looking for a coffee shop or lunch spot in Owensboro, go here. Don't question it. Thank me later.

That's what I like to hear! Got me all excited to play Merge Mansion while sipping on my jitterbug. Delish.

Their coffee shop displays local art for purchase such as pottery and paintings. They also have a daily trivia that gets you 10% off if you answer right - so fun!

The service was super friendly and attentive, we look forward to coming back whenever we're traveling through Owensboro!
