The ambiance is amazing: sit outside and you'll have the beautiful mountains as your scenery. Or you could sit inside their greenhouse! I spent like 2 hours here eating and reading. I had the Oldhouse Breakfast Burger, which was savory deliciousness and loaded with a runny sunny side up egg, bacon, onions, potatoes. I got the Tomato Soup as my side, which was also very tasty- I LOVED their croutons haha. I also had the Tiramisu Latte, which unfortunately I found way too sweet and was unable to finish. Service was fast and friendly. There's lots of free parking. 10/10 would recommend!

While vacationing in the area, my husband & I had lunch at Third Day Kitchen. They had a really…read morenice patio area with a cozy fire pit and beautiful view. My husband had a breakfast sandwich and dirty chai which he really enjoyed, while I had a delicious reuben sandwich and macaroni salad. If you visit, check out their little market next door, which has high quality homewares and gift items.

A significant variety of hot and cold coffee drinks, including delicious seasonal selections, like…read moreapple crisp latte, and bonfire latte (vanilla, marshmallow, and brown sugar). Both were refreshing and flavorful. Service was fast and accurate for a moderate client load and consistent stream of orders. Sidewalk seating available. Dogs welcome. The interior is spacious with plenteous and varied seating options: bar, table, nooks, and couches. The establishment is clean and there's congestion to the decor, but I can't say it's classically "bohemian". Nonetheless, it's pleasant, comfortable, and welcoming. I could tell care and attention were given to the ambiance. We would return and recommend you check it out.

Also, they charge $4 for a single cookie! Only good things I can say are that parking is usually easy and it's not hard to find a table (hmm...wonder why?)

One of the best ice creams I've ever had. I ordered a two scoop cup and should have gone with my…read morefirst thought of only one scoop because it was a LOT of ice cream. My wife, being more sensible ordered a one scoop waffle cone and still it was a lot of ice cream. The ice cream was extremely creamy and for some reason it was slow to melt. It appears to have little over run (air) which in my opinion, contributes to it's texture and creamy consistency. My butter pecan had pieces of pecan along with the buttery flavor that you would expect. My wife had deer tracks with big chunks of excellent chocolate. Many more items on the menu so I recommend you check it out!

When you open the door your senses are awakened to the various fragrances that permeate through. The 2 ladies working were an absolute delight to talk with. They were incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. They encouraged us to experience many different aromas and options. We thoroughly enjoyed talking with them and ended up purchasing several gifts. The store was incredibly clean and well maintained. A perfect little shop for perusing spice options and spending part of the afternoon. We ended up getting several variety packs including the Grillers Pack and a Bread Oil Seasoning Pack which our daughter loves. We look forward to another visit, although I'm sure my wallet doesn't as there are so many things I'd love to try!!
