Love the vibes of something small and locally owned. Four of us ordered a variety of caffeinated drinks from the kind gentleman working behind the counter. The owner, if I had to guess. The drinks took quite awhile to be made, but that's only because you can tell he really cares about his craft. You won't find mass-produced pots of coffee or tea here, but instead carefully curated beverages. I enjoyed my matcha! It was certainly made the right way, as he sifted it into a small bowl. This Japanese green tea powder is made from finely powdered dried tea leaves, and takes a little extra TLC to do the right way. Ended up whisked well with a nice foam top.

You seat yourself and can order either online at the table or at the front, so this is a great option if you're looking for a pretty quick and affordable meal. We split the honey mustard chicken wrap and a side of biscuits and gravy. The portions were huge and this was definitely a good amount for two people! The chicken was fresh with an excellent sauce ratio, and crunchy veggies added a refreshing touch. I really liked the pasta salad served alongside, which had a zesty Italian dressing. I do think some cheese and chopped nuts or seeds could have added an extra special touch. The biscuits were a bit soft and kind of disintegrated under the gravy, but overall the flavor was good and I liked the addition of diced potatoes. Overall, this definitely checked the boxes we were looking for and I would stop by again when in the area!

You order at the counter, find a table and they bring everything out to you. They have sandwiches, soups, salads, wonderful pastries and lots of fun coffee and seasonal drinks. But then there's the SHOPPING! I may have done a little damage in the gift shop -- a Door County tumbler, cherry pecan bread mix, Door County socks, Cat Mom slippers...and, of course, lots of coffee! I especially loved being able to choose from all the different flavored coffees and fill your own bags. Open the drawer, pull out the shelf, grab a scoop and take as much or as little as you'd like. Such a fun way to try several flavors without committing to a huge bag of each. They also offer tours, although unfortunately our timing didn't work out for one during this visit. Definitely worth a stop for lunch, coffee and some Door County goodies to bring home. And make a little outing of it -- Door County Candle Company and the winery are practically right next door. Highly recommend!

I had to go with sourdough on my chicken and avocado (the Free Bird) sandwich, and it was delish! The homemade garlic Ranch was tasty! I love when places make their dressing. Breakfast: bacon, egg, and cheese on sourdough. It comes with a small sample of fresh-squeezed orange juice. Yum!
