One of my guilty pleasure secret shops!…read more Okay, maybe it's not a secret, Top Hat is pretty popular. But when I go, I feel like there is never a line! It is located in a medical office building, but once you find it, you won't stop going. It's a smaller place, with only about three tables in the actually shop itself. But because it's located in a larger building, you could easily go here and work while you drink your coffee. Each month they have a new specialty coffee, and when sweater weather or crème brûlée coffee is in season, I'm pretty much a daily customer. As a gluten-free-er, I will say that they do not have many GF pastry options for food, so I would not bet on that. But coffe is an absolute yes! They are not only so nice, but so friendly too! When I bought my coffee machine for home, they were so helpful in teaching me what beans are best, what grind is best, and how to quickly whip something good together. Now, I almost exclusively buy their ground espresso for my coffee machine! They have two locations, so plenty of chances to try them out!

Top Hat Coffee Shop is great, but Italia is what truly makes it special. From the moment you walk…read morein, she greets you with a genuine smile and a positive attitude that can brighten anyone's day. She's incredibly personable, remembers my order, and always makes me feel like a valued customer instead of just another face in line. It's rare to find someone who consistently provides this level of customer service. You can tell she truly enjoys what she does, and it shows in every interaction. The coffee is always great, but the exceptional service keeps me coming back. Thank you, Italia, for making every visit such a pleasant experience. You're an incredible asset to Top Hat Coffee Shop!

I stopped in for lunch and ordered the Fried Chicken Sandwich. Wow! The chicken was crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and packed with flavor. Then I added a side of Onion Rings, and let me tell you, these easily rank in my Top 4 onion rings of all time. Perfectly cooked, crispy, and absolutely delicious. My future daughter-in-law ordered the Ricotta & Fruit Toast, and it looked amazing. Fresh, colorful, and almost too pretty to eat... almost. If you're out walking the trails by the river and start feeling hungry, do yourself a favor and stop in. Whether you're looking for breakfast, lunch, or just a great place to relax for a bit, you won't be disappointed. And if you're ordering the onion rings, don't plan on sharing--they're that good!

Would recommend as a wfm option if you don't have any calls to take, and they even have some outside seating as well. Looking forward to trying some of the other menu items. The drinks are made rather quick, sandwiches could take about 30 minutes so I recommend calling ahead if you're in a rush. I recommend the Caprese or smoke salmon sandwiches and their match is always good on any day!

The poke itself was very fine. Not a lot of options in either the fish department or the toppings department. And there are up charges for a lot of ingredients I feel are typically standard, like seaweed salad. I also got a creme brûlée drink which was definitely not worth the money. It feels mom and pop which I appreciate and do feel like with some small additions to their poke options this could be a nice spot if you're in the area.

Pilgrims is still a solid coffee shop and it's ran by the same smiling face behind the counter. Overall this place has great coffee, pastries and a casual ambiance that's perfect for people to get some work done. They've continued to offer more food & drink options that include prepackaged grab & go snacks like granola bars or chocolate milk. They also sell their coffee beans and some other coffee & non coffee related nicknacks. As for my initial review, I'm happy to report my tastebuds have matured and I don't need a million sugary drink options to be satisfied with a coffee shop. Pilgrims does have a larger menu with the option to add flavor to just about anything now but I wouldn't come to pilgrims looking for an elaborate seasonal "designer" latte with toppings. They might make a seasonal drink but i don't think it'll have as much sugar as some other shops that sell diabetes in a cup

On the plus side, the raisin pastry was pretty good, and the staff was very friendly and warm. The space is fairly small with limited seating, and there's a roaster on site, which gives the place a distinct atmosphere. Just keep in mind that there's no free parking, so plan accordingly.

Folks behind the counter were helpful in getting setup on wi-fi and getting my drinks. Having a mug was a nice touch when staying in the cafe for ~an hour and a half. There's a good variety of seating. One tiny knock is that the counter is just off of the right height. I'd say I have about an average sized torso, but it felt like I was shoulder shrugging if I were to use my computer there. Moved to a table elsewhere and was able to get things done. Mood here is nice for both work and conversations. Wi-fi was struggling a little bit (didn't confirm with a speed test), so probably nothing high-demand can be done here. For some light writing it was good enough!
