I like this place. It's a coffee shop, meeting place, light lunch stop, boutique store all in one.
The main reason I stopped in was to quench my coffee addiction. At first glance, I was somewhat hesitant, only because there were so many other things going on here -- the food choices, the small section of clothes, jewelry, knickknacks off to the side and then the chattering of locals waiting for their food and bemoaning that they had missed out on the fresh baked goods from the morning rush. But the coffee did not disappoint. Unfortunately, I couldn't linger.
On the next visit, too early for lunch, but just in time for breakfast, I managed to get one of the fresh caramel rolls. I was tempted to eat it immediately, but as the open tables were full, couldn't. As I waited for the coffee, I explored the small boutique. With items from locals and some locally made things, it was easy to forget that I was waiting for coffee because I was caught up in the exploration.
Next time I'm in the area, I'll make a point to stop in and take my time listening to the conversations, sipping my coffee, and this time trying one of the lunch items that looked so good. Oh, but that caramel roll was so good I regret not having ordered more for the next day. read more
