Little Joy has become one of my favorite motorcycle ride destinations. It's the perfect excuse to…read moreget out for a ride and reward yourself with a great coffee. The indoor space is medium sized, normally a good number of folks working, etc. but they have a huge deck/patio through the back that's amazing! My go-to order is anything with the vanilla cream cheese cold foam--it's seriously so good and one of the best cold foams I've had. They also always seem to have fun, creative seasonal drinks, so there's usually something new to try. Their social media is really creative, and it's easy to see why this place has developed such a following. It can get pretty busy because of the hype, but the drinks are absolutely worth the stop. I'll definitely keep making the ride out here.

With all that said... it is the main point of the business which is lacking for me. After going semi regularly (it's often less busy than Blue Monday or little joy) I haven't had one drink I would call beyond mediocre. Their matcha is always too milky and their coffee is nothing special. Their food is pretty good don't get me wrong, but sometimes I look at my $15 dollar crepe and think to myself, am I an idiot for paying this.

From the cute handmade ice cream labels and the local artwork, to the photos on the bulletin board from around the world and cozy booths, and the ole/carl/townie tip jars, this place is the best and I always crave it when I'm away from Northfield!

The service was incredibly kind and welcoming, with the warmth you'd expect from a small-town business. The ambiance was exceptional--from the charming storefront to the inviting interior. They even had toys available for families with young kids, which was a thoughtful touch that didn't go unnoticed. And the food absolutely won me over. Every bite was packed with flavor, and everything was so tender it practically melted apart. It felt fresh, carefully prepared, and in a completely different league than the typical sandwich chains. Places like Subway simply can't replicate this experience. My only criticism would be the cleanliness of a few surfaces. The counter where I signed my receipt and our table were both noticeably sticky and seemed like they could have used a quick wipe-down. It was an area that stood out but certainly wasn't enough to keep me from coming back! Overall fabulous!!
