Great coffee shop, not like your ‘typical’ coffee shops, very unique inside and with the customer service too! The last 2 times I’ve come in I’ve asked for recommendations from Sam and they have been spot on each time! The home made cakes especially the biscoff brownie I would highly recommend. A great independent small business. I would rather support local in addition to the fact they are better than other coffee shops!
