Chicken gyro is delicious! Also came with a side salad. The kids menu turkey sandwich is good(a little greasy though); comes with a side of carrots and ranch or applesauce, and a drink. They were very friendly and accommodating.

Pretty good. Nice little cafe. Turkey cranberry and cream cheese sandwich on ciabatta. Warmed. BLT on ciabatta. Chicken and wild rice soup. Nice person taking orders and serving. A bit overpriced for the portions as far as sandwiches go. The salad looked like a good size, though. I've had better sandwiches. But I just like this little town and the friendliness of the people

Awesome spot! Friendly to all comers. Comfy vibes and interesting decoration. I had a latte and a side of cottage cheese, can't wait to try the eats; it looks like tasty comfort food. This is a great spot to meet friends for lunch, post up for a perky study session (free WiFi) or make friends with other locals. Hopefully the hours will expand and they add a few cheaper options to the menu. This business should be encouraged.

Love love love this place! I've been there every Saturday they've been open so far (a little over a month) and have had a great experience every time. The family who own it and their small staff are super nice. The inside is GORGEOUS and always clean and neat. They have a very wide selection of drinks for both coffee and non-coffee drinkers, and I'm always excited to go try something new! My favorite drink by far is the "Lemon Stella", which is a perfect blend of raspberry rose lemonade. I've recently tried the "Suncity" as an Italian soda and loved that too! I haven't tried a lot of their food menu yet, but so far I haven't been disappointed. They always have two kinds of pastries which change every weekend that I've been in (and are always delicious), and the other food item I have tried (the "Cool Cucumber") sandwich comes with chips and is absolutely delicious! I cannot recommend them enough!

Competent service with a smile. Great food. These gals managed to make our food and a catered lunch event at the same time without sacrificing time or quality. We got breakfast burritos and sandwiches with thick, real melted cheese, fresh made ingredients and great flavor. Excellent coffee too. We'll stop here for sure next time we visit.
