Reviews
"Best prices in the area. One of the few places that doesn't over sweeten their lattes."
"Super environment, excellent service and the coffee is very good."
"First off, how cool is it that this cafe is adjoining a public library? What a great idea. Add to that that it’s open a few hrs before the library, a quiet chill space, and the espresso drinks are actually great, and this place is awesome. The chai was perfectly spicy and not too sweet. The woman at the counter couldn’t have been nicer or more helpful. Amazingly, they even make their own in house cookies—which are delicious. We had a warm chocolate chip one. One of our most surprisingly satisfying pit stops on a long road trip."
"Absolutely love every visit that I’ve had here. Whether coffee, tea, or blended, you can’t go wrong! Dave is delightful to speak with and knowledgeable and everything offered and the drinks can’t be beat. If you’re looking to support the community and get a great start or pick me up for your day, look no further. This Cafe has you covered!"
"Love this place so far! Got a coffee and sat down and read my book. Highly recommend this place for coffee or to chill and read!"
