There's boardroom style tables as well as lounge/conversation set ups. There's little nooks for little ones and high chairs available. I liked that the space to order is right up front and off to the side so you can walk in easily and get your order for take away or venture into the seating area. The coffee, unfortunately, left a bit to be desired. My iced coffee wad mostly milk with a whisper of espresso in the background. The syrups are not homemade and this particular brand of lavender was a bit too sweet but also bitter. This is certainly the place to come with a group or small children on a rainy day. Maybe not that place for a lavender latte.

I did not buy any coffee (and you cannot bring any outside food/drink jn), so I cannot speak to that. The one downside is the quality of the seating. If you consider the name "Family Room" -- it looks like a well-loved living room that many children have sat, jumped, eaten on. There were crumbs all over the couches and I had stopped in before 9am.

The guy working was very friendly and offered some samples. I got my staple, pistachio and since my son loves cookies & cream he gave the cookies and milk flavor a try. Both flavors were excellent and the texture was even better. The shop is kinda small, I can imagine in the summer during peak hours this place can get very busy and seating sparse. Right now it's a bit toasty inside but hopefully it won't be as warm in here as the days get hotter.

They have books, crayons, colored pencils, and other items to use while you're there. My friend and I went to the very back room and set up the watercolor paint for 6 hours in Saturday morning and did not feel like we had to leave because it was too busy or the staff was hovering. Very relaxing. I had the make your own breakfast sandwich with croissant, medium cooked egg, sriracha aioli, and bacon. The croissant itself was really floppy but it had good flavor. I had 2 coffee drinks within the 6 hours. First I had the honey latte with oat milk and then the americano. I have to say that both seemed rather weak in coffee flavor. The latte was more milk than coffee forward and the americano needed another shot maybe. I was disappointed in the drinks. My friend had 2 different tea drinks and enjoyed those a lot. I would return but I'd change up my coffee drinks.

She asked me, "Would you like something sweet or savory to eat?" I answered, and she provided me with a fluffy, warm croissant with egg and organic cheddar. More importantly, the staff was very generous and considerate of my situation. My husband had a job interview with a company in Worthington, so after I asked, they let me stay for a few hours. Not wanting to squander their generosity, I ordered periodically--not because the staff asked me to, but because I was simply so moved by their kindness. The price for the quality of their food is honestly unfair to the establishment--I would have gladly paid more for such high-quality, tasty pastries! Not to mention, it's so beautiful inside. It embodies a French bakery perfectly, with such lovely, lively music playing in the background. Once I move here, this will be my go-to stop for a morning pick-me-up.

The interior is well decorated and gives off very relaxing vibes. I was surprised to find it decently packed during a Wednesday afternoon.

Noticed a decent variety of delicacies but left those for another day. The attendees were friendly and the place is kept sparkling clean. I now know my go-to coffee spot the next time I'm here.

There is a conference room and individual study desks. The staff is attentive and clean the seating area frequently.

I ordered a coffee -- it was good, solid brew -- but apparently, I need a loan officer to locate the creamer station. My cup didn't come with half & half, and after a minute of wandering around looking suspiciously at other people's drinks, I gave up. Not a big deal... I like a little mystery with my caffeine. At 9 AM, the place was absolutely packed -- clearly the spot for locals, commuters, and people who just like the smell of ambition. Despite the crowd, the atmosphere was fun and friendly, and the old bank vault inside was legitimately cool. It's not every day your latte comes with a side of "Great Depression chic." Final Verdict: Great coffee, lively crowd, and a vault that could probably survive the apocalypse. Creamer? Classified information.

I also ordered the egg sandwich and breakfast cookie, which was the perfect amount of food (especially if you share the cookie). I sometimes feel like breakfast sandwiches can be heavy and rather greasy, but this one was quite light! The maple sauce added a nice touch of sweetness too. I believe their breakfast cookie is a best seller and I can see why. Chocolate chips and dried cherries?? Scrumptious and soft! I like the small and minimalist feel of their interior. It feels more hometown instead of a chain. Even with only a few people working, they kept the orders coming at a great speed. I was happy to get my food within minutes. I eyed the cinnamon roll pretty hard, so I look forward to trying that next!
