True Belgian waffles are made with a yeasted dough but they were very good and flavorful. No syrup needed. The chicken tenders are t anything to write home about. They are standard frozen tenders. The sodas are creative and my daughter enjoyed hers. I had a small sundae and by the time they were served they might as well have been milkshakes. Overall not a bad experience. Service gets 3 stars because of the melted sundaes. Food freshness and quality gains 4 stars. Cleanliness 4 stars. Ambiance gains 4 stars but mainly because it sounds like an elementary cafeteria. The wait was long but we had friends to talk to. I love seeing the history all over. That's a solid 4 stars. I do recommend you give them a try.

I don't write Yelp reviews often, but this place absolutely deserves one…read more From the moment I walked in, I could tell this wasn't just another coffee shop. The space strikes that perfect balance between cozy and modern--warm lighting, comfortable seating, and just enough background music to create ambiance without making it hard to have a conversation. It feels like somewhere you can settle in with a book, meet a friend, or get a few hours of work done without feeling rushed. What truly elevated my experience, though, was the service--especially Taylor. It's rare to come across someone who is both genuinely warm and highly attentive without being intrusive. Taylor greeted me with a friendly, welcoming energy and took the time to walk me through the menu when I mentioned I wanted something comforting but slightly different from my usual order. Their recommendation and enthusiasm felt authentic, not scripted, which made a big difference. I ended up ordering the raspberry chai, and it completely exceeded my expectations. The chai itself was beautifully spiced--rich notes of cinnamon, clove, cardamom, and a subtle kick of ginger. The raspberry added a bright, slightly tart sweetness that complemented the warmth of the spices instead of overpowering them. The flavor balance was impressive; it wasn't overly sweet, and you could tell the ingredients were thoughtfully combined. It had a smooth, creamy texture and was served at the perfect temperature. Honestly, it was one of the most unique and well-crafted drinks I've had in a long time. Beyond my own experience, I noticed how attentive the staff was with other customers--checking in, remembering regulars, and maintaining a clean, welcoming space. The atmosphere feels community-oriented and intentional. You can tell this shop cares about quality, both in what they serve and how they treat people. Between the exceptional service from Taylor and a raspberry chai I'm still thinking about, this coffee shop has officially earned a spot in my regular rotation. If you're looking for a place with standout drinks and genuinely kind staff, this is it. Highly recommend.

Dining area was very clean, comfortable, and there were plenty of tables and room in between them. The restaurant filled up fast so we thought that was a good sign. I don't know if our server was new, overwhelmed, or both, but our service was VERY slow and we heard others around us complaining as well. Our food eventually came out and I would give it a C- rating. Most of it was cold. The food was not seasoned and most of it lacked flavor. The prime rib sandwich was good. The stuffed mushrooms barely had any "stuffing". I would not recommend and we won't be going back.
