Småstad Coffee Roasters is a tidy shop with cafe tables inside and a large wood table on the terrace. They welcomed me warmly as soon as I stepped inside. I chose a large cardamom brown sugar latte and 2 small cardamom, lingonberry and black currant cakes ($4) that were dense but moist and surprisingly filling. Were they milk cakes? I should have asked. The latte was lightly sweet with a kiss of cardamom. I recommend this little shop tucked away off the main road. There's a private drive out front.

Last month AFTER a family group out of town visitors sleeping in my rumpus room on the pull out…read morecouch, get up and return the room to a nice orderly rumpus room. I was ready for them to vacate my home and get themselves back to the east coast to get everything ready for the Winter Holidays there. I had plans to go shopping in New York City. I dragged my cousin out of the rumpus room and we threw on our clothes and went out for coffee. Pure exhaustion caused every bone in my body to ache in tiredness. I needed peace and quiet and some liquid fuel. I needed liquid gold to inject into my veins. The liquid gold of choice is tar black thick sugary cup of coffee. However, I am a tea snob at times and tea steep from tea leaves that is so caffinated that it causes me to vomit due to its caffeine content so high, in fact higher than light roast coffee. I admit I am a tea snob and a coffee snob. Back to this coffee shop though is my intention after I thoroughly enjoyed its hot coffee with my cousin. We both were extremely into enjoying ourselves. The fresh roasted beans are particularly fresh. Fresh roasted beans make the best pot of coffee. I normally purchase on a pretty regular basis cofff from this coffee shop because of its focus on Swedish decor. I also can attest to the real tasty muffins and some of their other food selections. My words to you all tea snobs unite and all coffee snobs unit. All snobs of coffee and tea are united today and forever. Those who arrive 1st make sure to be very nice to employees so they continue returning to their jobs and making their customers feel valued. Remember the small business owner is an employee who worked themselves up in life to have enough money to open their dream business.

I've been coming to this breakfast cafe for years and it's still so good. It can be a bit pricey,…read morebut totally worth it for the quality and service. We came as a party of 2 and ordered a lot, and everything was delicious. The drinks were really good too, the mimosas are a must. The vibes are giving backyard chilling in the best way.

The restaurant looks small at the front but opens up to a large, cute patio in the back. The patio is covered but feels bright and open, and with the recent cold weather, they had plenty space heaters around. My boyfriend ordered the Wagyu steak and eggs, and I ordered the biscuit sandwich. My boyfriend's steak was cooked perfectly medium rare, and he loved the crispy, rustic sourdough bread and potatoes on the side. The biscuit was large and fluffy, but was a little too soft for my liking; I also added bacon to the sandwich but it felt a little skimpy and the bacon was excessively fatty / chewy. This wasn't my favorite breakfast, but I also think I made the wrong choice for myself. My boyfriend's meal and all the other food around us looked delicious, and the ambiance was great, so I think this place is still 4 stars worthy!

There is parking to the right if you're facing the stand but some parked in front of the cart parallel to the road. The area is cute, and fairly clean for being an outdoor only area.
