I stopped in off the cuff, and I grabbed a caramel square and a peach iced tea. Both were delicious. The chocolate on the caramel square was incredible. Inside, it is very cute, the decor is clearly intentional and thematic. There are also chairs outside. It’s a small place, but perfect for a quick stop, and it’s a very cute place to recharge! They also have gift items such as tea cups
