I have visited this cafe over the last few months and have loved trying their new items they always seem to have. My boyfriend regularly enjoys the breakfast burrito and we have a pastry and apple butter to try soon as well! We always felt welcome there, as it is great place to sit and relax. I also love that they host weekly events, the owners seem very involved in the quality of what they sell and the environment they do it in.. Ps: I also just tried the asparagus soup and nettle crisps, and I will be thinking about how good it was later... wish I got a bigger bowl! Thanks Jason and Janice

The service is profoundly slow. The coffee is mediocre…read more The staff wear dirty clothes and are surprisingly slow. The furniture is uncomfortable, especially the very hard couch and booths that make you slide off them. The food orders are consistently wrong. Despite there being several staff milling about, they regularly seem unable to manage the simple task of keeping their toasters running. Or buy new toasters. It's a bagel place people. Get a friggn toaster!! It's amazing how much and how often this place routinely squanders and botches their opportunity to just do OK. DO NOT GO HERE. You'll wait too long for the wrong order and sit in uncomfortable seating. The one odd pro of this pace.... They open at 6 (whereas most others are open at 7). Still.... All this means... you can get that bad experience over with pretty early in your day.

It was good. My sister had a matcha with vanilla and seemed to enjoy that. The other time I had the blueberry pancake latte- by far my favorite drink. I make something similar at home so I really enjoyed this. The prices are a bit high but it's one of two legitimate coffee shops within 20 miles that is open regularly so I was willing.

Darling Doughnuts offers a rotation of weekly flavors to choose from. The donuts are square and are also available in mini sizes. We picked Boston cream, Churro, and classic vanilla sprinkle. The texture was really nice and light with strong flavor. Loved the donuts! I liked the Churro best as they make the chocolate with a hint of cayenne, so you get a kick of flavor there. The shop atmosphere was fun and gave me a Wes Anderson movie vibe with the colors and decor. Service was friendly and quick. Took a minute to decide but they were patient with us.
