I love supporting local coffee shops, but my first experience here was horrible. They explicitly…read morelist "Pets Welcome" on their online profiles, so I drove out to try them. I walked in holding my quiet dog, intending to just look at the menu, order, and leave. Before I was even inside for two seconds, a staff member told me we weren't welcome at all. I completely understand indoor health codes, but if you advertise your business online as pet-friendly, you need to provide a way for new customers to actually see a menu or order from the patio.I would have happily stepped right back outside if the employee had offered a solution. Instead, they were completely unhelpful and just turned a paying customer away. If you have a dog, don't waste your time coming here, the "Pets Welcome" tag is completely misleading.

I've not tried any of their food yet, but the coffee drinks and service that I have gotten there over the past two years or so have ranged between 3.5 and 4 ish stars. Unfortunately, I did have a similar experience to another poster from May of this year who said he and his wife felt queasy after getting a drink there, because this happened to me a couple of times after getting a drink there as well recently. However, I am not sure that their drinks were the cause. It has creative decor in an older building with games, puzzles, books, large tables if you want to play with a group. Very cool place to work or relax!

We found out the place after asking ChatGPT what the best coffee spot in the area is. I got the Dublin, in hindsight I should've got a photo of the menu but just know the coffee had butter in it! so you know it was good! I'm not even a coffee person to be fair but it was like just a touch sweet and then regular coffee with milk (I assume?) a drink that was served hot. It was very tasty. Usually if I get coffee I get the unique thing that is overly bitter and has me regretting my choice but this was IT. I wanted one to-go it was so good but I'm quite sensitive to caffeine so I didn't go overboard as much as I wanted to My lady got some sorta cranberry coffee with lemon nitro cold brew thingy, served over ice. She enjoyed it too. It was definitely an interesting flavor, very unique. It was not for me but my girl lives for those type of notes!! Also a 'funny' incident, the lovely woman who took our order was like "would you like it here or to-go" and I looked around and they only had one table that was occupied I was looking confused for a moment like where would we even gooo but there's a whole upstairs and it was so homey and giving community vibes because there was already like 3 parties up there! And ofc there's some outdoor seating but it's 100F so we ain't even consider allat ‍ In all, high recommend and going to be stopping by on my next trip to Seneca.
