They had so many items to get started for your beekeeping journey. I also got some other items for my home. I will be going back to get started on my beekeeping journey. At the store, I was able to sample a few different honey and I came home with two different types, as well as honey sticks, candles, books (mentioned in the class) and truffle. The staff were nice and accommodating to all my questions. The place was packed with so many things, but not overwhelming packed where you feel like you can't get around. I didn't get to take many pictures inside, but will definitely going back to buy some more items and take pictures

Moreover, Emily and Lucas have gone above and beyond to make personal connections and impact the community positively.

While I selfishly hope that Emilou's is only closed at this location and not forever, no matter what, I wish Emily and Lucas nothing but the best. They deserve it.

"The best part of waking up . . Is Emilou's coffee in your cup!" Isn't that how it goes? Ha!…read more Today I had the pleasure of fueling up at Emilou's Cafe. I went to grab my coffee order & get my day started. This hidden gem was located next to 'Hi-Tide Laundromat' right behind an oasis of plants. There is a large floor marker that reads 'locally roasted coffee' & I knew I had found the spot. A quaint space with a small ordering lobby & a couple of chairs, window-front. The small cafe offered an assortment of drink options, so I checked out the menu. After a quick study of the menu I went with the 'Whipped CBD Honey Latte' iced. Sounded like a nice way to get me a 'up' a little & down a little. Iykyk. My drink was carefully yet quickly crafted by a friendly gentleman staff member. I forgot to mention wanting to request a milk alternative but was asked just before it was added making it easy to adjust before receiving my drink. My gut thanks you, kind sir. I stepped outside to the plant cloaked patio to enjoy my drink. My drink [Whipped CBD Honey Latte] was tasty & refreshing. Perfect midday pick me up.. Rich coffee complimented with a hint of honey & ice to perfection. My only wish was that it was a little sweeter but otherwise this was 'the perfect cup'! I'll certainly be back to fuel up another day & will turn up the sweetness a notch. Thank for making a gorgeous cup of joe & for hosting my coffee experience! Cheers to a successful 2024!

I've been going here for years now and they are the nicest most wonderful people who give good tours and have wonderful silly and snuggly baby goats! They give you real time with them and don't have a forced amount of time on each part of the tour - unlike Harley goat farm. You can skip the tour and just hung with the baby goats the whole time if you want! Also can come early or stay late depending on when if there's another tour that day. I get enough time with the baby goats - and I loooove baby goats so that's saying something! Bring a meal if you want to eat and hangout at their picnic tables. I've gotten to milk the goats a few times, feed the adults, be there for a goat birth (just happened while on the tour!), and have all the baby goat snuggles and silliness. Love the family farm, love the folks who run the baby goat tours/visits. Also a cute town to go into after for food, beverage, also wine tastings nearby. I recommend a second set of clothes to change into after in case you get dirty (goats are relatively clean, but they're goats so not like indoor pets. I let the baby goats climb all over me.)
