Their "coffee " is all espresso , so if you order a regular coffee you're actually getting an Americano (espresso and hot water) so every cup is made to order, and nice and strong Also try the Duffin. Read more

Only local coffee shop I haven't had one complaint about. Great lattes . If they have the freshly made gingerbread , get a piece. You will not regret it.

Ashley Akin

Iced Raspberry Mocha is the best coffee drink in town . And you can get a great ham , cheese & egg bagel any time of day. Eggels are the way to go.

They will track your coffee purchases by your name, but you have to ask. You'll earn free coffee after 10.

Latte , breakfast quiche , desert

Katherine Wooten

Good chicken salad (secret: they buy it at Costco).

Eric Janssen

The Dark Roast Americano is the perfect early morning caffeine jolt!

Jessica Engle

It's overpriced for what you get. They make a good dirty chai , but I thought the latte I got could have been less watery. Staff was abrupt and yelled at people to not stand in front of the counter.

Jen Dang

Kale and bacon loaf ... sounds so good but it was so dry. ????

Bob Bakken

Not bad. Gotta keep the panhandlers away. One guy was a pest.

Max Jacobson

The breakfast sandwich is good but avoid the chicken biscuit

Ashley Akin

Ham , egg and cheese is even better on everything bagel than whole wheat . Melty goodness any time of the day.

Ella Hernandez

get an frequent card and get a free drink after purchasing 10 drinks. save you're freebies up for later :)

Joshua Pfahl

Coffee was some of the best I have had, but don't get the breakfast sandwiches . Processed egg , bagel isn't toasted, and meat was poor. Go for the pastry instead..

Paul Novarese

Great service, but no drip!

Drew Cremeans

Service is great. Prices reasonable.

Ashley Akin

Chicken noodle soup is surprisingly good for coffee shop food. I believe them when they say it's homemade !

Jacqueline Wood

Passion fruit hot tea with almond raisin granola bar :-)

Nate Henderson

try the honey shortbread . Mind blowingly amazing.

Beth Winnett

Try the Latte - Perfect on a cold day

The cookies are very good. Disappointed in the coffee . The iced coffee wasn’t even brewed. It was a Nescafé style product stirred with water. Lame.
