First time here. It is a very colorful shop. I saw it advertised on Facebook and I wanted to see…read moreit. The wall paper and the colorful chandeliers really make the place pop. I grabbed some taffy to give as a gift. You get a card that identifies the taffy when you get back home. I had one and it was not on the card but that's okay. It was still good. 4 oz was $2.76. I wanted one piece of chocolate, I would call it a turtle, but staff said I had to buy at least 1/4 lb. which equals $9.95. Well, that's a bummer. I have never been to a candy shop that I could not buy one piece. They always say so much money for an ounce. Even though I did not agree, I did not lower the score even though I spent more money than I wanted to. Out of the 7 or 8 pieces, I liked the turtle, the orange cream and the raspberry jelly the best.

The place was packed but they were really efficient!…read more I bought 2 dozen for the family and the total was just under $74! The cashier was sweet and patient with every guest. One side of the shop has the equipment for the donut making and the other side they are filling orders. It had a classic feel. Excited to bring them back to the family!

We were so excited to try this donut shop after seeing great photos online, but unfortunately our…read moreexperience was extremely disappointing. From the moment we walked in, the shop appeared very dirty and poorly maintained. The smell of old grease was overwhelming, and the cleanliness of the store immediately raised concerns. What made the experience even worse was the customer service. As soon as we entered, the employee spoke to us in a rude, snarky, and confrontational tone. Instead of politely saying something like, "Please keep the door shut," or "We'd appreciate it if the door remained closed," she immediately asked, "Did someone tell you to prop that door open?" The wording and delivery came across as unnecessarily hostile and unwelcoming. It instantly made us feel uncomfortable, and the tension in the store seemed noticeable to others as well. We came in genuinely excited to support a local business, but between the condition of the shop and the way we were treated, we decided not to stay. First impressions matter, and unfortunately this was one of the most unpleasant customer service experiences we've had. I hope the owners take steps to improve both the cleanliness of the establishment and the way customers are greeted and treated. Based on the photos online, we expected a completely different experience.

We stopped for lunch here on our way home from a beach getaway weekend. The prices were very…read morereasonable, and the food was ready quickly despite the line. There is a lot of seating available outside on picnic tables with umbrellas for shade (there are also tables inside). I got the vegetarian wrap, but in order to make the vegan I did ask for it without the pesto cream cheese, which meant it was rather bland. Unfortunately, the only other potentially vegan option was their beyond burger. However, they didn't carry any vegan cheese or vegan sauces (aside from ketchup), which was disappointing. In the future I think I would get the beyond burger anyway, as it would at the very least have some protein. Everyone else in my party seemed quite happy with their meals, so likely their non-vegan food is great. Their coffee was also pretty good (and they had oat milk & almond milk available as cows milk alternatives). I will say, the marinated cucumbers were fantastic, and again, the prices were great. Just wish that they had at least one menu item which was fully vegan without modifications. Maybe a hummus wrap?

What a gem. Wished I had more time to eat there more than once…read more Menu is perfectly curated and the martinis hit the spot. I highly recommend this for any occasion

We tried this coffee and smoothie shop today. My caramel frappe lover gives this place two thumbs…read moreup they had just the right amount of caramel. This was even after they gave her whipped cream which she is not a big fan but the caramel Balance made up for it. Then the smoothies, my berry smoothie lover says that they did a decent job. I had quite the experience with my smoothie. I chose the strawberry and chia seed protein shake where I chose peanut butter for the base. OMG. It was the best PBJ I ever had. When I say I was drinking a PBJ it is no joke and it was so good!! Like I am Now feeling like PBJ needs to become a staple of my diet again. Now they only get 4 though because we were also hoping for some yummy bakery treats but what we saw wasn't really exciting so we left it alone. This was probably good as the protein shake is a meal. Saw some cool teas. Need to go back and get some before we leave. We will be back next time we visit.
