BLUF: Go check it out, you won't regret it…read more TLDR: OMG I'm so glad I stumbled upon this adorable coffee shop on cozy Main Street in North East, MD. It was just me, so I only got half a dozen donuts with a knife so I could taste them all! I tried: Cookies & Cream, Salted Caramel, Maple Bacon, Toasted Coconut, Chai, and Fluffernuter. Let me start by saying the cake part of these donuts is just perfect. Not too dense, lightly crisp on the outside, and insanely fresh. The toppings might sound over the top, but they weren't. They were perfectly subtle to add a hint of flavor without a dose of diabetes. And the coffee- such unique lattes both in name and flavors. I went with Davy Joey's Locker with an extra shot of espresso. So good. Not overly sweet and not bitter at all. And then I just had to try the cute little pistachio cannoli. Shell was filled upon ordering, so the shell was nice and crispy. Now this was super sweet, but I haven't met a cannoli yet that wasn't! Barista was friendly & bubbly and patient when it took me some time to pick my 6 donuts. Basic tables and chairs with some bench seating along the window. Pillows & chairs could use a refresh, as well as the bathroom, looking a bit worn & dingy, but that's literally the only negative thing about this place.

The exceptionally friendly woman running the stand PACKED ice cream into my waffle cone, and topped it off with a giant domed scoop (and that was just one scoop).

The bar was full, tables mostly full so I would recommend to call ahead and reserve a table. Service was good, if you are on a schedule allow time for your meal to be prepared.

Enough to fill the belly one more time! So yes a great place to stop, especially if you are traveling through as I was.

Bartender was friendly but stood with other employees on other side of bar while they ate so she never asked me how they were. She asked me if I wanted a box after I asked for the bill. I said no even though I had taken one small bite out of 1 scallop & she never asked if everything was ok, just brought the bill. I put a $100 bill on the bartop with the check to pay my bill & she loudly made comments /jokes about oooh ok big bill etc & she really shouldn't do that. I'm a woman traveling/dining alone for business & I don't want to call attention to the fact that I'm carrying cash. & it's a steakhouse not a dive bar.
