I liked the interior brick walls and the abundant support for indie artists seeing artwork on display and merch for sale. There were coffee roasts from Victrola and a decent selection of items in the pastry case. Various seating arrangements from two tops, community tables, and counter seating towards the entrance. Overhead music was not discernable. Clean restroom which was appreciated before the drive back home. Pleasant service and well crafted mocha.

That being said, the coffee is handcrafted and incredibly tasty! Really a good cup. The reason that I went with the 3 star is because the service was almost negative.

I particularly enjoy their fresh produce, local dairy, different wines, and a wonderful greeting card section. While not everything is organic, a much bigger emphasis is placed on local, organic, and renewable. I also like the bins with nuts, beans, and many other dry products, helps with reducing packaging. You can even fill your own honey jar. Outside you might enjoy nursery finds. Order your lunch at the counter, many great options. All in all, it's always a good experience with friendly and helpful employees serving us. I just wish it was closer to home!

There are things here that Whole Foods and Met Market only dream of, and freshness they cannot match. Yes it is a bit more than Safemeyers, but the quality is superior. The bread selection alone makes it worth the visit, and that is not to mention excellent brewed coffee, a high quality and ever changing cafeteria, and technical books covering everything from air frier food prep to building a home. The staff is extremely knowledgeable about what they sell, and if you ask a question they can not answer, they will find one.

I have called before to share feedback…read moreabout the quality of the gluten-free items they sell, because they are often either underbaked or stale. I've even emailed letting them know that the gluten free items are not what they used to be. I decided to give them another try today and stopped in for one pink frosted sugar cookie. I was shocked when I was told it was $7. That already felt very overpriced, but then when I received it, the cookie was frozen. For that price, I expected a fresh, quality item -- not something frozen, especially after having previous concerns about their baked goods. Unfortunately, this was the final straw for me. I won't be back.

Came in on a Tuesday around 11:30 AM for lunch. We were really hoping that we beat the crowds…read morebecause we usually don't go here anymore only because we don't like to wait and wait to be seated and then wait some more. What can I say? We were really hungry and really wanted their food and they have a nice variety on their menu. So we waited. It didn't even seem like there were that many people waiting or on the waiting list. Nonetheless, we waited probably 20 minutes in the entry. They called our name and seated us. They have a lot of tables set up throughout their space. I see there is seating upstairs but not sure when/if they seat up there. Their restrooms are now gender neutral and one toilet. That's nice! There was a changing table in the one I visited. The server came around within about five minutes and when we ordered our food, It took about another 20 to 25 minutes. I had time to shop the whole adjacent store, make a purchase and still waited awhile for our food. This is always a period of time that feels like it takes forever because by now you're starving and have looked at all of their sweets in the display case while in the waiting area and smelled all the cinnamon scented candles and the food being prepared in the kitchen. My Linda's brother-in-law scramble was delicious. I opted for the bacon sprinkled. It didn't seem like 4 dollars worth of bacon and there's plenty of flavor in that scramble otherwise. $23.54 with the bacon sprinkles. My hubby had the country biscuits and gravy, and he said it was good. $17.79. My husband did mention that he was disappointed that the country biscuit and gravy didn't automatically come with their breakfast potatoes. You have to choose- eggs OR potatoes. He ordered a side of breakfast potatoes, and it was a small bowl. $6.50. We shared the French toast and took most of that to go as well as some of the hash. $14.99. It was plain. We both had water to drink and had to ask for a refill. That all came up to $68.47 plus tip. The receipt says, "If you pay cash, your total may be rounded per this location's payment policy." I didn't see what that policy says.

Calico Cupboard is one of those places that you NEED to go to when you're in town…read more When you get there, you just sign in yourself at the stand which is a good system so no one has to check you in when they're already pretty busy. While you're waiting you can go to the shop down the stairs or go to the dessert area right next to the waiting area to get some great desserts. Last time i was there I saw frosted cream cheese sugar cookies, and pies, and more. When you get seated there are so many great food options, lots of options, same with drinks. They are only open until 3:30 pm so be sure to manage time well. And don't expect an empty place, it's usually populated. Tight space, so scoot in those chairs as far as you can. Staff were laid back, and nice. When they're busy make sure to be patient with the staff, they're dealing with tons of other orders as well.

Hopefully the wait for food at the table isn't as long normally because if it is that's ridiculous. 2 coffees & a switch to water later our food finally arrived. Generous portion of potatoes, the corn beef was delicious and of course the biscuits was massive!

Sadly, the food was mediocre, at best. I imagine, as a business, they're also wasting so much money on portion sizes. Huge meals do not equate to quality. I really wanted to love it because it's a family restaurant but there was a lot left to be desired. Cons: - The majority of our experience was spent waiting - The staff seemed confused and very overwhelmed - The food was boring and didn't look good on the plate (I got the biscuits and gravy, my friend got chicken fried steak) Pros: - The staff was very friendly - Bathroom was clean - The freshly squeezed orange juice was incredible - Everyone seemed to be trying their best, I think the system just needs a lot of work
