There is a spacious parking lot, and they even have farm animals at the back that are really sweet to hangout with while you wait for your coffee (goats/chickens!) The food was sooo good and very fairly priced for this area. My iced coffee was kind of meh, and the syrups they use are just monin/torani, but for the price point that's to be expected.

In the basket was a 12-ounce bag of ground coffee from Maine's Katahdin Coffee Company. After a few cups, I realized I was drinking some of the very best coffee I ever had in my long coffee drinking life. It had been a very long time since we used ground coffee, because we converted to K Cups years ago (don't hassle me about the environment because we empty out and recycle all those plastic pods). We used one of those "make your own K Cup" plastic/mesh baskets that was banished to a kitchen cabinet for many years, scooped in a few spoonfuls of Katahdin and brewed it in our K Cup machine. My Katahdin coffee was a Medium/Dark variety known as "Baxter Blend". The flavor ran rings around everything else we have in the house. Yes, it was a zillion times better than what I normally drink. Katahdin is sold in quite a few Maine grocery stores and through their website. The website has offerings in 10-ounce, 12-ounce, and 2-lb bags, with choices of ground or whole bean across a few different flavors including Breakfast Blend, Breakfast Blend Decaf, Baxter Blend, French Roast, Maine Whoopie Pie, Hazelnut and Maine Blueberry Pie. Yes, we will be sending out a mail order as soon as we use up every last ground of coffee in that 12-ounce bag.

The menu is a great mix of drinks, desserts, and dessert-drink combos. A group of 5 of us arrived and waited about 10 minutes for spots at the bar. The inside is pretty small but optimized with both bar and booth seating. The decor is so cute and whimsical. I loved all of the details! The desserts are pricey (most are around $15-20), but the portions are big enough to share with at least 1 other person. I got the Chocolate Chip Cookie Royale, which really hit the sweet-salty spot with a warm choc chip cookie, salty sweet cream ice cream, salted caramel, sesame brittle, and tahini whipped cream. The savorier elements allowed me to keep eating and not get overwhelmed by sweetness. My friends got the vegan peach crumble and chocolate cake and enjoyed theirs as well.

When you arrive, you can park in front of the teal buildings or drive up further to the parking in front of the walk-up window that's a bit further back. I arrived around 10:30 am on a Sunday and they were already sold out of the most popular flavors. There are a few patio tables to enjoy your donuts and coffee or you can take them to go. Looking for an instagrammable moment? There are two sets of wings at different heights and sizes where you can pose for a photo. I find the potato donuts pretty filling, so I typically only get one for myself or pick up an assortment if I'm getting them for others. There are vegan options available too.

I had never tried a potato donut before, so I was curious to see what it was like. Unfortunately, this ended up being the second worst donut I have ever had, and I've tried a lot of different donut shops. The lady at the shop was very kind and explained which donuts were which. I decided to try the most popular options: the Sea Salt and Blueberry Lemon donuts. Sadly, the Sea Salt donut was terrible! The Blueberry Lemon one wasn't as bad, but both ended up in the garbage. My stepmom is usually against throwing away food and doesn't have much of a sense of smell, so she doesn't find many things inedible. However, even she ended up throwing her donut away, which says a lot. I would not recommend these donuts.

There have been so many times where I am trying to order and the cashier is having side conversations, the workers in the back are yelling (where I can't hear the cashier), or the food takes forever. This line definitely moves the slowest out of every location, but for no reason. The people working are definitely more interested in entertaining each other than doing their jobs. I also feel as though they are on the "cheaper" side. As in every little side packet costs extra and they put their bagels straight in the bag. Like why are they skimping on using the insulated bags?
