Extensive menu, a little on the pricey side and the way is a little bit long. Overall pleasant experience and clean dining area. Connects to two other stores. One of the bathroom doors wouldn’t lock tho.
The staff were friendly, my hot cocoa was awesome and the vibe of the place was on point!
It was food. It was fine. Solidly fine. This place won't blow your mind but we had nothing to complain about. We ordered online at 8am on a Saturday and then we ate in the shop. Our food and drinks were ready and waiting when we got there, about 25 minutes after ordering. At 8:30am on Saturday, there were plenty of places to sit. The space is large, airy, and sunny. My partner had a coffee and a sandwich (I forget the name but it had egg and spinach), both of which he enjoyed. I had a black tea and a cucumber and tomato sandwich. The tea was nothing special, nor was my sandwich, but both were edible and fine. As we say in my family when it's just...fine...and someone asks how your meal was, "It was food." So maybe the place deserves 3 stars for being just *fine* but I feel bad giving three stars when I have no complaints.
The culinary offerings are superb, complemented exquisitely by the exceptional coffee. A minor mishap with my sandwich occurred, yet it was rectified with commendable swiftness by the attentive kitchen staff. The ambiance radiates a welcoming warmth, enhanced by the vibrant, eclectic decor that captivates and charms, providing a perfect canvas for leisurely dining or a delightful coffee experience.
Cozy yet large coffee shop/cafe! We stopped in for a coffee while staying in town. The coffee was great! They offer vegan milk choices which was nice. They offer small cafe type meals & snacks but we only got the coffee- which was great! Love that it connects to the book shop next door to complete that cozy coffee shop vibe!
