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 ago > Love 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 ago > Came 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.
