I WISH this place was down the street from me - the breakfast food is amazing, and the bakery items are just as much! I had their Toga (greek) breakfast burrito ($7), which was huge, btw. It was spectacular with a mix of ingredients I didnt expect to be so delicious, but I like to try different edibles. I also got their chocolate chip cookies (also huge) for the road, intending to bring one or two to my husband. They never made it home. Never stood a chance. Normally, I only like chewy chocolate cookies, but these were more cake-like - it didnt matter because they are heavenly. I tried everything my sister and niece ordered as well - they were all winners, one of my favorite places ever. This is a college town, so the atmosphere matched, and I love the exposed brick walls, salvaged architecture stuff, and this historical bones intact. There was popular Christian music playing, which is a bonus for me. It wasnt loud, however, so I doubt it would bother anyone who didnt care for that genre. The prices are very reasonable and I think they could easily charge more. You order at the counter so there are no servers to tip either. Sarah, the owner/manager, is a doll, and we got to talk to her in between customers. Its obvious she puts her heart and soul into this place, but that doesnt guarantee exceptional recipes. So the crazy good products make this place a 10. Cant wait to go back!

Excellent shop atmosphere with great food. Pros: Food is excellent and the staff are very nice! Atmosphere is perfect for studying if you need a place away from home for that and you can make it during the hours that theyre open. Cons: The hours are terrible. If youre the only coffee shop in the vicinity of two large colleges, you really cant go wrong with staying open until 11 or Midnight. Its not too hard to put the word out on the street that youre open late... people would come running. Stay away if its a busy hour. Their primitive form of taking orders and sometimes understaffed facilities means youll wait a while at the register while they try to catch up, and then a while for your food and drink to be made. Drink orders are regularly forgotten during busy hours as well.

Only place in town to get a decent Americano. Food is also decent, limited veg options if youre looking but can make adjustments to items. Would be 5 stars but their politics and religion is a bit too out there for my taste. (Christian music sometimes playing, worse yet, Creed! Also rumored to have fought against nondiscrimination ordinance for LGBT people, and have brochures out for place that tries to convince women to not get abortions.) Still though I come here often because its the only place in town for a decent cup of coffee and the staff and owner has always been quite nice to me.

This place is amazing. Love the food, the atmosphere, the personal service, the coffee, the gelato... everything! Always a great experience. Try the Vanilla Rose latté - most amazing coffee I have ever had and I am very choosy about coffee. Its my all-time favorite!

The place is awesome and the lady who runs it is just amazing! SHE is the epitome of "Customer Service!" She treats you like "family". Best treats and specialty things! Im going again tomorrow - for some latte and cookies! Oh yeah!

Were just passing through and needed a quick breakfast + coffee. The Bagel Breakfast Sandwich was perfect. The eggs were superior to most coffee shop breakfast sandwich eggs. We took Americanos to-go and they hit the spot!

Hot chocolate with rose and peppermint, only place I can ever get this! My favorite drink of all time, perfect for studying, hanging out with friends or ignoring your need to study! I cant wait to come back.

Very cute atmosphere, exceptionally friendly staff, and great food. The coffee wasnt quite what I was hoping for, but Ive only tried it once - and would gladly try it again. Overall great experience!

The only coffee shop in a town with two universities closes at 6pm seems a bit strange. Some of the best food in town and I cant get there in time after work. Its like they dont want to make money.

Not the best espresso, but it seems like they have variety and you could probably find a different one you liked better. Really cool atmosphere and high quality ingredients/equipment.

Priscilla Weeks

Great people, atmosphere, & coffee. The only problem is the hours you never know when they are open and when they are not. I went to get some coffee on MLKJ day and was closed!!!

The coffee is really good and the atmosphere is top notch. Only reason its a 4 star is its only open until 6 pm in a college town. Why not 9 pm?

Ursula Kindt

Really good coffee. Havent had the food yet, but it smells and looks really good. Highly recommend. Not too expensive either.

Thomas Capuano

Good soup, coffee, sandwiches. Loft for studying with large tables. I spend hours here and enjoy it immensely.
