The staff is friendly and knowledgeable, and the menu features certified organic and fair-trade options, which makes you feel even better about your caffeine fix. I grabbed a cold brew and took it straight to the beach--perfectly bold and smooth, no bitterness, and just what I needed to kick off a summer morning. It held up beautifully even in the heat (and the sand!). Inside, the atmosphere is relaxed but curated. Old-school wood finishes, bikes hanging above the counter, and a chalkboard menu give it a local, lived-in feel without trying too hard. Whether you're grabbing beans to go or hanging around for a pour-over, this place nails it. Highly recommend making this a regular stop if you're in the area--or even worth a detour.

This is not your typical hipster coffee shop. Driving up, you can't miss it--its right at the…read morecorner with a bright painted sign on the building with its name. The building itself looks almost like an old diner--long and brightly colored. Inside is more of the same. There are a couple of round tables with diner-esque stools and a few chairs randomly placed in the center of the seating area. All of it contributes to a kind of endearing quality of the place. I was greeted with a friendly smile by who I believe is the owner. I opted for a small coffee and a biscotti, as I wanted something that wasn't too sweet. The coffee is self-serve, which I'm not a huge fan of as sometimes they aren't as fresh, but management seems to take care of this. My orange almond biscotti, while I was happy to be able to taste the hints of orange, was stale. Prices were fair, as my coffee and the biscotti were each $2. It's a bit chilly in the cafe and a little loud with the music but I was still able to get some work done. If it were a bit closer to home, I think I would frequent this cafe a little more, but I wish the owner all the success!

Carton Brewing, yet another brewery to work off of my list that it out on the East Coast. So very…read moregrateful to try breweries this far away from home since I am based in the West Coast. For this brewery Steve and I enjoyed their Boat Beer which was a Session IPA. I do love a good session from time to time and it's a type of beer you can more than one of without getting too buzzy. The flavor highlights with this beer that we had are that of a typical IPA( or some anyway) which is hoppy, citrusy and with a clean snapped finish. It's light and smooth like much of the session beer types are. Good experience with this beer and we'll worth returning to and exploring more of their beer options.

The next day before our drive home we stopped again, this time for breakfast. We had a quiche that was very tasty- and a Ham egg & cheese on a croissant that was SO good... I wept a little. I can't recommend this place enough. The prices are a bit higher than average but they 1000% deliver on that with the quality and flavor that makes you feel like you're instantly transported to a cafe in Paris.

There's quite a nice selection of coffee and tea drinks plus an array of beautiful french pastries. They also have a food menu that includes grain bowls and other sandwiches and salads. There's even a tea bar with matcha, chai and lattes. I had a latte and enjoyed the spinach and feta quiche. Service was timely and I opted to take it to-go. There are a few tables inside and some outside when it's warmer. While you wait for your order, there is a cute area with nice candles, dried flowers and other very tasteful modern interior design accents to buy. Enjoy!
