What a relaxing and enjoyable eating experience! My wife and I stopped in Saturday morning recently and really enjoyed the food and coffee. The owner greeted us and explained items on the menu. Food is made from scratch and the coffee is incredible. Up front seating is comfy and there is a smaller area at the back with couches and a coffee table. The orange zest cream cheese cake we had for dessert was amazing. Highly recommend if you're looking for a different atmosphere or want to try something new in the area.

Omg this was such a wonderful place, my first time stopping by & I loved it. My family & I just lost a family member (my Dad’s brother) & the experience from those 2 ladies was nothing but the best, the customer service amazing, the sandwiches were incredible, the iced coffee was so perfect & omg that blood orange olive oil cake (I think that’s the name) was absolutely delicious 10 out of 10 I highly recommend I most definitely will return. Oh another thing I loved about the cafe was they sold lil Knick Knacks that I loved so much & they had these candles that were special to me because of the name “Sko candles” my Dad nickname was Sko he past 3yrs ago!

I love this place. I thought the quiche was fantastic, but this visit I got the tomato jam grilled cheese, and that may be my new favorite sandwich of all time. Highly recommend trying this place.

Stopped in for a quick bite, and really enjoyed our time here! The rosemary sea salt bagel was heavenly, and they were even sweet enough to give us two, very generous samples of their new soft serve—which was also 10/10! Definitely recommend the English toffee and banana combo.

This place is great! The staff is so friendly and helpful. We happened to stop by during happy hour with half price coffee and ice cream. They make some of their own coffee syrups and salad dressing. They offered us a sample of them and they are SO good! We also had the southwest breakfast burrito and the goat cheese and beet salad with their in house dressing. Both were EXCELLENT. Good coffee, good food… We will definitely be back next time we are in town!

My son and I decided to go for a short bike ride and stopped here. I was surprised my teen son enjoyed the atmosphere and talked about riding out here to drink hot chocolate. We enjoyed the serenity and I read over the newspaper while enjoying a cup of Joe. There were others here, but I waited till most left to take the pic. The young ladies are friendly and it is very clean.

Accommodating! Friendly! When my drink needed a change, they were happy to do so! Food was amazing!!! I got a wrap and I am so glad I did. It was a big wrap too! They are a private company. I hope they are very successful! They spoke about additions to their menu they were working on. I like to hear about companies that aren’t afraid to add things. Flexibility is important. Again, so friendly and helpful! 10 out of 10 stars.
