We asked for less sugar, and it was nice that they were able to customize it. We also ordered some ice cream, which was also pretty good. The shop was a little cold and there was pretty loud Christian music playing on the tv so that can make it hard to work there. Overall though, this was a solid place to sit down with a wide variety of drink and snack options -- they even have food like fries and sandwiches based on what I heard other people order.

The thing that put me off was the aggressive signage everywhere prohibiting this and that. No pets, restrooms for customers only, tables reserved for 2 or more customers, no outside food, etc. I'm sympathetic to business owners trying to prevent customers from taking advantage in various ways, but these kinds of things set an unwelcoming tone that annoys me. If you don't show a little confidence that your customers are good people, they will feel your judgment.

Downtown Local is near a local brewery, yoga studio and other shops. Upon entering the space we were greeted immediately and the space felt cozy. There were plenty of chairs and they had cute decor up for the fall. The menu features your typical coffee/sandwich shop with breakfast and lunch options. I ordered their bacon, egg and cheese on an everything bagel and was very underwhelmed when I went to take my first bite. The sandwich overall was small. The bacon was extremely thin and I think there was only one fried egg on the already small bagel. It definitely felt like something I could make at home yet the sandwich was $10! I wouldn't recommend the BEC bagel however maybe other items on the menu are better. The service again was great.

They offer local drinks, preserves, jams, desserts of all sorts, and homemade sauces. Honestly, it was really hard to choose something to try. The owners spent a few minutes with us goin over their menu and everything looked SO good. We settled on the Strawberry Shortcake and the owner's own concoction the Nutty Professor. The short cake was ALL homemade (the sauce, whipped cream, and sponge cake). The cake was very light and refreshing and not too sweet. This was HANDS down the best Strawberry shortcake I've ever had. We ate the entire thing in the car. The nutty professor is very unique and SO good. It's very rich but is a cross between a peanut cup and a snickers combined. It's very good but only take a couple of bites at a time We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area. A must try if you're local or visiting!

I got an iced Turkish rose pistachio latte (less sweet since the flavor combination sounded pretty indulgent) and it was absolutely incredible. It came with cream on top and was honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've had in a long time. I also grabbed an almond croissant, and it may have been the best one I've ever had. Exactly what I needed on a tough hike. The inside feels like a cozy living room with tons of live plants and so many cute little corners to sit and relax. Everything was spotless, the staff were super friendly, and the whole place just had such a welcoming vibe. This added a serious "umph" to our hiking day. Highly recommend if you're in the area! Wish I could give this place more than 5 stars!

However, if the experience we had was anything to go by, we will be stopping there again. The staff are friendly, attentive and knowledgeable; my wife and I spent several minutes talking to them about various sorts of wines and we even learned a few things we didn't before, which always impresses me. Likewise, they went on about the chocolates and even the teas (which we didn't buy), and it shows. These guys are the real deal and I am impressed. Now I just need to make it down there sometime to try out the restaurant portion, but we will definitely be doing so the next time we go down that way.

The Turkey pesto sandwich was very oregano forward. It was tasty but I personally prefer a basil base pesto. She had the Say cheese sandwich which she stated was wonderful, cheesy and perfect. We both had the lobster bisque for our soup. It was flavorful, creamy and the perfect temp for sipping and dipping. I had a Chai tea (one of many available). I prefer a stronger spice and a little burn (ginger). It was a nice compliment to my meal. The pot for one provider 3 1/2 cups of tea. She had a sweet white wine, we did not ask if it were a Riesling or other, it was nice and went well with her meal. The only downfall which is only a big deal to me and maybe a few is styrofoam to go containers.

No longer are you drinking from proper cups and saucers. It's all paper cups. That kind of kills the feel of the place, so it was once very cool but it gone down slightly. I think Pip has made it clear though--we're not going back there. Drinking high quality tea from paper cups will not stand.
