I’ve been a regular customer for 2 years now. It’s the best place to go for bagels, ice cream, lattes, and smoothies! Everyone is very friendly and welcoming! :)
Delicious! Stopped in just because we saw ‘coffee shop’ on the store sign! We got a Medium Iced Mocha Latte and a Medium Iced Mocha Macchiato. Dairy free - made with almond milk, no whip. Very friendly and delicious!
Number one this place has a sanitation score of 99!!! Everyone was super friendly and our food was ready in less than 5 minutes! Donuts, croissants,breakfast sandwiches and iced coffee are what caught my eye here but we saw that they do rolled icecream too that we will be back to try! I had the iced salted Caramel macchiato and western breakfast croissant and my daughter had the bacon egg and cheese everything bagel with a mango dragonfruit smoothie
Today was one of our many trips to this local gem. The owners and staff are friendly and we love that we can drive five minutes and get a tasty and reasonably priced breakfast wrap, bagel, or a variety of ice cream treats. We’ll be back in a week or so!!
The bagel, doughnut, and drinks were delicious! The food came quickly, too. There are so many options there's surely something for everyone. And the people who served it were very nice. Yum!
Breakfast sandwiches are tasty. Had the breakfast sandwich and it was really good and a hot hazelnut latte. They gave gluten free options.
So glad I found this amazing place! Everything was delicious. I wish I could have tried the rolled ice cream too. All the staff was so very kind and even helped with recommendations. Can't wait to go back and try the different sandwiches!
Most well made latte I’ve had in ages and the place was spotless. Customer service top notch and super fast. What a relief to give my business to such a deserving place !!!!
This place is amazing for a quick coffee break, ice cream, breakfast, or lunch! I always have a pleasant experience and all the staff are very friendly! Today I had their new fruity pebbles ice stacker it was very delicious can’t wait to try other flavors!
Stop by for some ice cream and milkshake. Place was very clean. Staff was very helpful and polite. If you have a bad, I definitely highly recommend it look like they also had breakfast too.
