Both were tasty and hit the spot. The chicken salad sandwich was the standout for us--simple, fresh, and really satisfying. The frittata had great flavor, but it was a little on the dry side, so I'd probably pair it with something extra next time or try another option. All in all, a solid place to grab a bite in Saluda, and we'd happily come back--especially for that chicken salad sandwich.

Once on pays you are given a number and food or special beverages make the way to your table. We enjoyed the French dip with delicious roast beef, caramelized onion, melted cheese and au jus. My partner had the roasted veggie melt. We ate half and saved the rest for dinner. Outdoor seating is our preference especially under the magnolia tree but we settled for upstairs in the covered area. It was quiet and other diners appeared happy with their food. Afterwards did some shopping in the adjacent connected store which has a lovely collection of items for sale including a generous children's section.

The…read morecoffee here is superbly well balanced, just the right amount of sweetness not overpowering the rich earthiness of the coffee. I took one sip of the "Honey Hive Latte" and immediately realized I was in for a treat. You know it's good when you take your first sip and immediately thank the barista and ask what else is a must try. The "Toasted Marshmallow Cortado" was spot on. The torched marshmallows brought a nice aroma and the char added to dimensions of flavor in the cup. If you're in Spartanburg SC it's a must try.

They make restaurant food look like a joke to those who eat clean and healthy. They sell local, organic produce and their pre-made ready to bake meals are next to none regarding quality and clean ingredients. Their garlic bread is also amazing and doesn't have any nasty seed oils in it. If you eat clean and are sick of all the poison in most grocery chains, you will LOVE this place! Pricing is fairly reasonable too.

For the first time in almost 22 years living in the US I find a place that makes a delicious hot chocolate that doesn't involve pouring chocolate flavor powder in hot water. This wonderful business makes their hot chocolate using milk (they have more options for people who do not drink milk) and they make their own chocolate syrup. The cappuccino was wonderful too - we wanted to come back for seconds! We did not get a chance to come inside the place or enjoy their exterior seating options because we had the kids and it was cold, but it definitely looks like a nice place to visit with friends or for a date. Finally, the customer service was wonderful. The lady at the drive-through was happy to explain everything we asked and answer our questions. I recommend this place!

Again, I've never had a bad drink here so it's fun to just randomly pick one. The service is always really fast and I'm never really in their long.

The lemon flavor was barely noticeable, lacking the brightness and zest you'd expect. As for the blueberry component, it didn't taste like a fresh compote at all--more like store-bought jelly with none of the depth or texture that real fruit brings. Overall, it felt overpriced and underwhelming. Definitely not worth the cost, and unfortunately, a disappointing experience.
