My husband and I attempted to come here after our vacation home host told us about this coffee shop…read moreand raved about the owner here, telling us she would make us feel welcome. This was further from the experience I expected. To be honest, this shop was more shop than and ideal coffee shop, but more like a pick-up knick-knacks and a cup of coffee and go. When we walked in, the bathroom area was blocked by a worker who was gathering holiday decor or something. Anyhow, I asked about the bathroom because I desperately needed to go, and planned on staying and buying some coffee, but the girl told me that I had to ask for a key. No biggie since I've been to coffee shops that require a bathroom key. So, as I went to the counter the proprietor was busy chatting away with customers and when she stopped chatting, noticing I had something that I needed to ask, she said, "Can I help you?" and I asked, "Can I please have the bathroom key?" and she said, "You will get it after you've made a purchase." I was put off, particularly as she continued her idle and pointless church talk with these people. We left and found a real coffee shop elsewhere.

The locals are here, the laptops are out, and someone is definitely writing a screenplay in the corner. They roast coffee in-house and keep things community focused. Parfait + coffee = I have my life together starter pack or it appears that way anyway.

I really don't get how this place has good ratings. I stopped by today and the whole experience was…read morejust gross. Every table I saw was covered in crumbs and sticky spots, I actually had to grab a napkin and wipe mine down myself because the staff was too busy hanging out behind the counter to care. The service is insanely slow. It took forever just to get a simple coffee, and when my Cole Turkey Stacker finally came out, it was such a letdown. The bread was dry and there was barely any meat on it--definitely not worth what they're charging. To make it worse, the ventilation in there is terrible. I walked out smelling like old, burnt fry oil and the smell is literally stuck in my clothes now. Between the bad food and the lack of basic cleaning, I'm definitely not coming back. There are way better (and cleaner) spots nearby.

I can't speak for any of the other drinks, but the lattes that I've had here (twice now) tasted like it was watered down and didn't have any flavor. The espresso wasn't strong. I went back and tried it for the second time and the coffee had a salty tang when I first start sipping, which teased a good drink, but then when I swallowed there is no flavor whatsoever. It was so weird, I've never had that happen before. You get such a small cup of coffee for $7 and it doesn't have much flavor. I won't be going back, but it has a nice ambiance and maybe some of the other drinks would be worth trying.

I kept things simple and ordered two mocha lattes and they were ready pretty quick. They have cute cups and the barista who took my order was so nice! Would love to come here again soon!

I was very excited that they sold their own coffee as I love grabbing beans when I visit a city. I opted for their sampler pack that has such sweet packaging; each looks like a mailed package, and the bundle is tied & wax stamped. Perfect for someone getting into junk journaling! I chose a latte with their panela syrup. Panela is an unrefined cane sugar, similar to brown sugar but with caramel notes as well. With the temperature drop on Sunday, it was the perfect comfort flavor, and I'd easily drink it throughout the cold months and then still come back for it in an iced coffee. The staff were very friendly and welcoming; the barista who took my order also gave me helpful tips on the different beans that came in my chosen bundle. The space is small and can get easily crowded, so if you're looking for a work spot it would be good to come secure a place early.
