They have the best hot cocoa ! You can also buy their powder to make your own drink at home. The mini muffins are so yummy and just the right size

The Guatemala Antigua beans have a light mouth and a slightly bitter body from low washing. A good mild coffee for tea time, the beans' hint of jasmine head this floral cup.

Coffee is similar to Starbucks so take that as a plus or minus depending on how I to your coffee you are. Friendly service , nice muffins .

Totally free WiFi here. There is a nice outdoor seating area here. It seems there are more seats outside than inside. Oh and there's a convenience drive through.
