I really dig this little place…read more Like most single/units, I like to wait until I've visited a couple times. Kind of smooths the occasional peaks and nadirs with small joints. I've visited several times and each time has been wonderful. Of the two items I clearly remember: the traditional breakfast sandwich was great. Bacon, egg, cheese, on a bulky roll. Easy to eat while driving, made fresh, tasty and sat well in my gut. This fine morning, I had the salmon bagel with the onion, tomato caper and hard boiled egg. While it couldn't eat it in car without a mess or bodies littering the streets, I waited until I got to the office. What I got was fantastic. Lots of salmon with cream cheese, sliced onion and tomato, and a condiment cup of capers. Slapped it all together (except the egg) and went to town on it. Good stuff. I can't say I've been in and ever found it to be backed up. Service has always been courteous, prompt, and attentive but not overbearing. While it is slightly off the commute route of rt2 ( but only about three Minutes off the exit. And drive right by that lowbrow Dunks), if you are coming from south of downtown Sterling on 12, it is an easy visit that will make your day a little better. And just for kicks, tell them Josh sent you. They'll have no idea who you're talking about but could be fun. I didn't keep track of the price today, but I'm usually getting out of there with something good to eat and a coffee for under 15 well-spent dollars. The place has a cool look to it. It used to be a couple different bank branches. Inside, they kept the vault door and used some of the safety deposit box doors as decorations. Pretty cool.

Everyone who works there is kind and attentive, the space is gorgeous and they have a nice intimate seating section with lots of natural lighting. Every time I'm there there's locals who are all smiles while waiting in line and ordering. Great vibes and I highly recommend. If you follow their social media you'll see they come out with monthly and seasonal drink and food specials and they're all so creative and equally as delicious. But if you're looking for a staple, their cold brew with maple cold foam is a MUST.

The food and service are always great. The prices are about average for a locally owned shop. The pastries and treats are always cooked perfectly and just the right amount of sweet. They also typically have at least one gluten free option. Their rotating coffee flavor menu is always fun and pairs well with different seasons/holidays. I have tried their sandwiches, quiche and salads too which were all made really well. My favorite over the summer was the mushroom quiche and the mom's pasta salad.

We ordered BBQ Chicken Flatbread, Mushroom Quiche, Chicken Pot Pie and every meal comes with a salad. The Flatbread crust is crispy, chicken is tender with the right proportion of BBQ sauce. The quiche was fresh, somewhat cheesy and my favorite thing there. The Chicken Pot Pie is one of the best I've had in a while. It's creamy, crust is flaky and good mix of chicken with veggies. The staff are so kind, friendly and hard workers. I'm not sure why this place doesn't ever seem to be packed, but they absolutely should be. Do yourself a favor and try any of their meals, it is sooooo worth it. The restaurant is rather small, but enough to seat 40 people or so (+/- 10). I also worked here briefly and it could be a good temporary remote working spot. -ODL Connect with me! IG & YouTube: @AOEAT

The interior felt bright and airy, with light woods and cream/off-white tones. The space carried a slightly upscale coffee shop feel, but without the snooty third-wave energy of plastering tasting notes and bean origins everywhere. I got a large cold brew ($5.50) and a pour over ($6). At the pour over's price point, I would have expected more than one coffee bean option. Service came across as cordial, with my pour over brought out to the table. The establishment offered free Wi-Fi; even on a Labor Day afternoon, multiple people set up to work.

I got an iced coffee to drink with oat milk. I enjoyed the coffee. There's street parking. I came on a Sunday so the parking was free. Quaint place. Your order then get a number and sit at a table and they bring your items to you. Just a couple seats outside. They also carried a few gluten free desserts like cookies and brownies and have season banana bread. I'll have to go back and try them another time.
