Love, love, love coming here! It's such a great spot, dog-friendly, with good food and coffee. The cafe is cozy on a cold day, with a covered patio and outdoor seating for warm days. I highly recommend the cheese scones and chili cheese scrolls. Pictured are some of my other samplings (also delicious!)
Connie Coneybeer, a month agoLove this place. The food is awesome, they've got a great menu and solid cabinet range. Most importantly, the coffee is fantastic! I found the young staff friendly and welcoming AND it's a dog friendly space. Make sure you support this local gem.
Morgan Williams, 4 months agoCame in here spontaneously for breakfast, and it was a fantastic decision! The food was amazing; delicious and much bigger than I anticipated. The coffee was perfect and the service was very cheerful and friendly. Bonus points for the cafe doggy too!
