    Soy vanilla latte, ham & cheese croissant on this fine day $8.97
    Nicole F.

    Note: This review is for the cafe portion. Love love LOVE this place. This place is EXACTLY what Elon was missing. If you've read my previous reviews, I always said this school was missing a good coffee & tea joint to study at. The establishment is broken into two sections. The left side has shorter tables and couches with a more lounge feel- this is the cafe area. The right side is the bar area with higher bar-height tables. But during the day, students can be found studying on both sides. Music is typical coffee house music. A mix of American rock, grass roots, indie music. This place just opened a few months ago and seems to already be popular. I got a small latte $2.90. Pretty reasonably priced..cheaper than the Acorn a few doors down. I'm sad that I have already graduated and won't be able to make this my regular go to study spot. But I'm sure this place will do just fine! Great selection of locally baked goods. I forsee them having more food options in the future. If you stop in, introduce yourself to the owner, Phil. He is the mastermind behind all of this. So thankful he brought this establishment to campus. It is a perfect fit for Elon: classy, chic, simple, with a splash of hipster. P.S. Free internet. Reception isn't amazing, but I use my Elon login out here.

    A cute coffee shop located right on Elon's campus. It is partly a coffee shop but also a bar on the other side. I came one morning and had a caramel machiatto and scone. The scone was warmed up and delicous. The caramel machiatto was perfect, just the right amount of sweetness. A great place to get some work done or catch up with friends.

    The bar side is a great place to hang at night while the coffee side offers a chill atmosphere to get work done.

    My 2nd visit and I love a local staple in the city. The drinks are always strong made just right…read more The bartender made great conversation. Hubby located a back patio in the rear which had a few guests out back. We hung out for about an hour and left. The bar wasn't packed - it was a good crowd.

    Solid drinks, a cute aesthetic and decent food. Not bad for a girls night out. I don't frequent…read moreBurlington much so when a friend invited me to get drinks at one of her favorite places, I wasn't sure what to expect. I was pleasantly surprised! We were greeted with a friendly smile by the bartender upon entering and handed a menu. They had specialty cocktails that all sounded delicious, but I opted for a classic dirty martini as it was Friday after a long day at work. It was a little dark when you first enter, but it adds to the atmosphere. They have plenty of seats at the bar and a variety of searing selections near the bar. The outside patio was super cute so we chose to sit outside. There is an upstairs loft type thing with seating also. Food is provided through a delivery option from an attached restaurant. It was a little challenging to understand the ordering process as my friend was told to order "for here" and type the word bar and I was told to choose delivery and type bar. I ended up having to pay a small delivery fee for them to walk it over, but we did notice the delivery menu is larger than the pickup menu. The Caesar salad was actually really good. The sweet potato tots were great with the honey butter. I did not care for the chili shrimp. My friend chose a chicken wrap and house chips and she enjoyed it. We stayed for a few drinks and enjoyed talking to some regulars. It never really got crowded which is a good thing for us. The service was attentive and quick.
