Wanted to also get a pastry, but none looked good and everything was at a higher price point for that size and quality. Drinks were also at a pretty high price point.

Walking in, we were immediately greeted by the smiling staff and there were already quite a few people working on their laptops in various corners of the coffee shop. Looks like a great place to work or study. I got the Black Forest Mocha and a cinnamon roll to share. My drink was not too sweet which I appreciated but it did feel less full than expected. They did warm up the cinnamon roll which was soft and delicious and I love that they source their pastries from surrounding small businesses like the gluten free Blue Moon Bakery! Smart partnership! My friend got her toddler daughter an Italian Soda and they gave her a kids whipped cream cup with confetti sprinkles which was super cute. She also found the hidden bear and got a sticker as well. I love when businesses make it fun for the kids. Bonus they had a local artist spotlight showcase which was so neat! I'll have to come back to try more drinks and food but could definitely see this shop as a great hangout spot to catch up with friends or get some work/study done. Come support this local business when you are in town or visit their other locations around!

Since the loss of Lovejoys we've been trying different tea places around the area but Skywater is…read morethe best one we've tried so far. There's nice ambience, a large tea selection, wonderful tea sandwiches that were traditional flavors but impeccably done with soft milk bread and the best mayos (dukes, Kewpie). The scones were nice, esp the summer menu peach ones, the clotted cream is good and they make it there. The Oreo cheesecakes were so unusually delicious, I was so surprised and delighted by how good they were and wish I had gotten the recipe. My favorite treat tho was the nectarine panna cotta we were served while we waited for our tea. Our host was friendly, knowledgeable, and seemed to really care about the details of afternoon tea.

Skywater Tea House in Hillsboro has a truly wonderful afternoon high tea experience…read more Everything feels thoughtful and special from the moment you sit down. The tea service is beautifully presented, with lovely tiered trays of savory bites, sweets, and pastries that make the whole afternoon feel like a real occasion. What stood out most was how relaxing and elegant the experience felt without ever seeming stiff or overly formal. The teas were excellent, and the whole service invited you to slow down and enjoy yourself. It's the kind of place that makes you want to linger, talk a little longer, and order one more pot of tea. There's a charm to Skywater that is hard to fake. It feels welcoming, peaceful, and carefully done in all the right ways. For a special outing, a celebration, or just a beautiful afternoon treat, their high tea is a delight. Five stars.

I have driven by the restaurant so many times, but I am glad we went in. One orders at the counter...I had the Ham & Swiss Sandwich which contained greens, tomatoes, and pickled red onions. It was so good. My wife, who is vegetarian, had a kid grilled cheese. It didn't have enough cheese to her liking, but it was still good. We of course took home a Raspberry Lemon Poppy Seed Coffee Cake, and a Lemon Sugar Cookie. Both were perfect. Very friendly service and very clean. We will definitely come back and try other items on the menu.

The welcome was very friendly when we arrived at the counter, and they kept the queue moving at a steady pace, so we hardly had any wait. You order at the counter, get a number, find a table, and they deliver your order to you. There are a decent number of tables inside (don't panic, check the back room for seats, too!), as well as several outside on the wraparound porch. The whole converted country house is adorable, inside and out! South Store Cafe radiates a rustic-chic, inviting atmosphere. They have a fairly comprehensive breakfast-and-lunch menu, but they also have two enclosed pastry cases chock-full of sweet and savory goodies sure to please any palate. I thought I knew what I wanted until I saw that case! In the end, I got the sausage and mushroom strata with a homemade cardamom syrup latte, all of which was delicious! It's a fabulous gem tucked in the country, and I can't wait to return.

While running errands on the morning of the Fourth of July, my cousin, my niece, and I popped in for a much needed caffeine boost. The atmosphere was calm, cozy, and inviting. It was the perfect place to catch up with friends or settle in with a laptop to get some work done. I ordered the Black Forest latte, and it exceeded my expectations. It was well balanced, not overly sweet or rich, and truly captured the flavors of a classic Black Forest cake. The service was quick, welcoming, and friendly, making the experience even better. Insomnia Coffee has definitely earned a spot on my list of must visit stops whenever I'm back in the area!

Great place to start the day…read more It only took two years to finally visit Insomnia Coffee, and I love it. Our friend from Houston was complaining about the lack of "good" coffee in the area. I recommended Insomnia and she loved it. The bakery items are also terrific. I am a croissant freak, and theirs is now my 3rd favorite. My first is anywhere in Paris, 2nd is Bakery Noveau in Seattle. My third favorite was La Provence, but the version at Insomnia is even better. It flakes crumbs as it should. The staff is also quite friendly Today I had the blueberry/blackberry scone and it was so good. I did bring a croissant home as my wife agrees with my assessment as well. I will definitely be back, and that will be quite soon.
