“ I’ve been coming to this coffee shop for ten plus years now for great tasting organic espresso and friendly service. I’m always impressed how well each employee is trained. They are quick, efficient and consistent with superior quality coffee drinks. They work together and with the customer to make the best possible experience. With breakfast and pastries, you can’t go wrong spending a little piece of your morning here. I love this coffee shop and feel blessed to have such a slice of coffee heaven in my hometown!!! Support your local caffeine dealer! ”
“ Definitely worth the stop! My fiancee got a sausage burrito and he loved it (including the salsa - super fresh) and I got the egg, spinach, mushroom quiche, iced green citrus tea, a hot peach tea, banana bread, and two muffins. We were super impressed with the quality of food. Everything seemed baked and prepped fresh. Staff was friendly and teas are refreshing. Best quiche I’ve had in a long time! Also bathrooms were clean! ”
“ Really cute coffee house, with lots of options of food and bakery goods. And really friendly service by the girls especially Bentley. ”
“ In town for a vacation and I was really excited to try every local shop. I was really excited when I was able to order a pour over in the morning! It was really delicious and I picked up on several flavor notes and really enjoyed it! I also ordered a Sunflower Latte which was delicious too but the pour over provided a unique experience I can’t get at home unless I buy the specific bean but I don’t have the best grinder for non-espresso drinks By far my favorite coffee shop in the area! ”
“ I ordered a chai tea and it was very yummy. Kids each got smoothies. Strawberry and peach and loved those. We came back the next day and got them again. The girls working always had a smile on their face and super friendly. Highly recommend. Snickerdoodle cookie is pretty amazing too. ”
“ Great coffee. Great food. But be ready for a little wait in prime-morning time. Took us 30 minutes to get our food. But it was really good. Nice atmosphere inside. Free water. Cool music. On the way to the slopes. I got an everything bagel and it was way better than expected. And the iced coffee was amazing. Wish I got an XL. ”
“ Must stop if you're looking for coffee! This is a great coffee shop with a great backdrop. Stopped by after seeing the reviews during our road trip and was not disappointed! Ordered a chai and their special at the time "The Joker." Was not disappointed. Both drinks came out very quick and filled to the brim. The atmosphere is clean and offers plenty of seating. ”
