What a great surprise this place turned out to be! It is in a historic building and the signs are…read morenot obvious. Blink and you could miss it. 2 hour limited street parking is available but can be sparse. It would be rare to not find a spot within a hundred feet or so. The shop is quite charming and is very clean and well kept. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful with the food menu. Nice selection of food, baked goodies and coffees. I ordered a Steamed pastrami box lunch. It was delicious. The historic building offers several rooms where you can sit and enjoy your food and drinks. It really is comfortable and easy to relax and have a conversation or be on your electronics. Free WiFi is available. There is space for groups up to 6 or 8 and is child friendly. Outside seating is also available with numerous tables with umbrellas. Ideal place to meet friends or family for a coffee or meal. Located in the historic downtown area there are numerous places to explore within walking distance. I am most certain we will return to this little gem.

They have really interesting flavors and I tried the blackberry lavender white mocha which is usually out of my comfort zone. I got a small iced and it was the perfect size. It was delicious and I'd give it a solid 8.5/10. It's the cutest place to study, but the only downside is it's so tiny!! There's only 3 tables to sit at :( Will definitely be coming back!

A group of friends and I met here for brunch one Saturday morning. I had only been here for a…read morecoffee once or twice but it had been awhile and I hadn't tried their food before. We found a table inside before it got too busy. It was a great place to sit a catch up with friends and enjoy some delicious food and coffee! I ordered the Greek omelet which came with toast (which I didn't get since I'm GF) and either a side of fruit or hash browns (I went with the fruit) and a sugar free hazelnut latte with almond milk. I had a difficult time deciding what to order because so many things on their menu looked amazing! Two of my other friends also got omelet's while one got the Nutella GF crepe. We all enjoyed our food and drinks thoroughly! I was also looking around at other tables to see what other people ordered and was oogling over what I saw. I don't think there's a bad choice on the menu here! The staff were all polite and kind. They kept up with the busy-ness (the line got pretty long around 10:30-11) where tables were cleaned off, dishes were taken away and we didn't have to wait long for our food or drinks. The cafe has a stylish inside with modern decor and some outdoor seating options for warmer weather. Inside, they also have a station where you put your garbage and dirty plates. At this station, you'll also find complimentary water with cups, extras for your coffee/tea and on the second shelf, there are condiments such as ketchup, hot sauce, BBQ sauce, etc. After this visit, my friends and I are 100% going to come back again for a girl's brunch!

I called and ordered a fruit crêpe, the apple crêpe, a caramel cream frappe and a vanilla frappe…read more The apple frappe I wouldn't really recommend because the apples were not flea baked through so it was like chomping on a regular apple because they leave the skin on which is definitely not desirable When you're eating something like this. But the creep itself was tasty I just threw the apples away. My daughter gobbled up her crêpe. The drinks were pretty tasty but they need to add more ice to those.

This cafe has a fascinating location surrounded by the remains of a coal mine and associated…read moreindustrial facilities which have been abandoned for some time but still look impressive. The cafe itself straddles a stream that was likely used for water power. They had pastry options and some diner style hot breakfast, but I wasn't blown away by these options and (correctly) anticipated that I might prefer my food options on the other side of the mountains. However, their drink selection was quite robust for a place in a pretty rural location. I ordered a coal dust which was a mix of white and dark chocolate; I was a bit miffed that the menu didn't make it clear that it was actually a coffee drink as it could just as well have been pure hot chocolate. However, the flavor combination was ultimately successful for me. Travelers should certainly consider stopping in this location to take a look around, and why not pick up a beverage?
