Too weird and not in a good way. The menu reads like a Sysco delivery truck manifest. What you get…read morelooks nothing like the food images posted on their Facebook account. The soup of the day was flavorless and watery with one huge piece of drab broccoli. Onion rings were obviously processed, frozen, and dumped out of a plastic bag into a fryer for much too short a time since they were only half cooked. Their iced tea was dark brown, and the milkshake was made from a fake mix with spray can whipped cream. To give a sense of the culinary skill level here, the special of the day was hamburger gravy over mashed potatoes with corn and buttered white bread aka Depression era poor folks "food." We declined to order that vintage slop. To add to the nightmare ambiance, there was an abundance of flies in their tiny dining area. To top it off, this place charges a fee for credit card use though we saw no notice of that posted anywhere and the server didn't mention it. Paid cash. Two simple drinks, a bowl and a cup of horrible soup, and one order of half cooked onion rings + tip was $40. Do not eat here. A candy bar from the gas station would be a better choice.

She said all of the kids have gone to school so now she has to handle most everything on her own.

I went with the maple which was tasty for the early fall season!

I've had coffee from here a few times before and have always loved my drink - their seasonal items are Always fun. It was pretty full on a Friday morning but the line was short and moved quickly. I ended up mixing it up and getting a matcha latte which was flavored perfectly and not overly sweet. The space itself is so bright and open and in the coolest building with multiple other shops. You can enjoy your order at a table inside, walk around the various stores, or take it to go and hop around the area as so many new spots have opened up.

They have a good selection of chilled canned drinks as well plus some food items like yogurt. The space is wonderfully diverse in terms of seating. They had the front window open to the street where you can sit. Inside is an area where people can sit with their kids. The service was very friendly and helpful. The vibe is warm and very welcoming.

The design of their coffee cups is beautiful and suits the aesthetic indoors. And lastly, it was Easter weekend when I visited and I stumbled upon the most amazing egg hunt of my life. The staff hid plastic eggs around the store, and plenty. They encouraged us to find 1 each and I won a $15 gift card and my partner won a beautiful, re-usable glass. The gesture of seeing the owners give back to their community and seeing them welcome us passerbyers to partake in the fun meant so much. Everywhere I go in the world, I stop at local coffee shops. This was one of the most memorable of my hundreds of experiences.

I had the dovetail latte and my friend had an iced vanilla latte and we both loved our coffees. They also have a small craft and trinket section from local sellers which was so cool and made the space feel so homey. It was so good we ended up doing back later that weekend as well.
