My friend that lives in the area brews Bank Square in her French press every morning and it was so incredibly delicious that later while walking around town, I knew I needed to get another cup for myself. The baristas were quick and friendly and dressed up as superheroes (it was Halloween). I got a couple of oat milk lattes to bring back to the group as well as a pound of their "No Sleep till Beacon" grounds and it was a hit all around. I was grabbing and going, but lots of folks had grabbed a seat and kicked back with laptops, books, friends, whatever. Great spot with very good coffee.

I popped in one winter lunch break and was hypnotized by the promise of that cocoa comfort I love. Ridge C. isn't just another cozy café. They have an entire wall lined with spices and loose-leaf teas in clear, labeled Mason jars. It's like a tea lover's dream. I was in my element. But let's talk hot chocolate. The first time? Disappointing. Bland. Still, I gave it another shot. This time requesting they go heavy on the chocolate. Nope. My 'heavy on the chocolate' request slipped into thin air, because round two was just as bland. Tip: Parking on Main Street is a nightmare and the meter maid's out here like it's a sport. Save yourself and look for a side street instead.

It's is nestled in this small little one room house. Everyone working here was so kind and friendly and took the time to give me a few whiffs. I ended up brewing a mix of blood orange and two types of mint as a cup of tea to go, and even took a small bag of loose leaf home with me. The brew he concocted was so flavorful and the right mix of orange and mint. Perfect for warming me up for another walk on a very cold day. The brewing took a few minutes so I was able to grab a seat, smell a few more teas, and await my hot tea to go. A few things to know! There was only one or two seats, so this is not a cafe to sit and relax, definitely only a grab and go. It is right off of the main street so not hard to find at all. If you are a fellow tea lover, you'll be keen on this great little spot.

My friend ordered an egg sandwich and she loved it. We also liked the fact that you order at the register so you don't feel pressure to pay for the whole entire group you are with. It's a nice touch.
