The thing that put me off was the aggressive signage everywhere prohibiting this and that. No pets, restrooms for customers only, tables reserved for 2 or more customers, no outside food, etc. I'm sympathetic to business owners trying to prevent customers from taking advantage in various ways, but these kinds of things set an unwelcoming tone that annoys me. If you don't show a little confidence that your customers are good people, they will feel your judgment.

Unfortunately they were out of muffins when we visited, which was a little disappointing. The place was pretty empty, so service was very quick.

Downtown Local is near a local brewery, yoga studio and other shops. Upon entering the space we were greeted immediately and the space felt cozy. There were plenty of chairs and they had cute decor up for the fall. The menu features your typical coffee/sandwich shop with breakfast and lunch options. I ordered their bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and was very underwhelmed when I went to take my first bite. The sandwich overall was small. The bacon was extremely thin and I think there was only one fried egg on the already small bagel. It definitely felt like something I could make at home yet the sandwich was $10! I wouldn't recommend the BEC bagel however maybe other items on the menu are better. The service again was great.

I got an iced Turkish rose pistachio latte (less sweet since the flavor combination sounded pretty indulgent) and it was absolutely incredible. It came with cream on top and was honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. I also grabbed an almond croissant, and it may have been the best one I've ever had. Exactly what I needed on a tough hike. The inside feels like a cozy living room with tons of live plants and so many cute little corners to sit and relax. Everything was spotless, the staff were super friendly, and the whole place just had such a welcoming vibe. This added a serious "umph" to our hiking day. Highly recommend if you're in the area! Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!

The Turkey pesto sandwich was very oregano forward. It was tasty but I personally prefer a basil base pesto. She had the Say cheese sandwich which she stated was wonderful, cheesy and perfect. We both had the lobster bisque for our soup. It was flavorful, creamy and the perfect temp for sipping and dipping. I had a Chai tea (one of many available). I prefer a stronger spice and a little burn (ginger). It was a nice compliment to my meal. The pot for one provider 3 1/2 cups of tea. She had a sweet white wine, we did not ask if it were a Riesling or other, it was nice and went well with her meal. The only downfall which is only a big deal to me and maybe a few is styrofoam to go containers.
