    A good local coffee shop. Really cute inside and a few outdoor tables available. Coffee itself was decent. Better than the big chains. Pastries are also laid out nicely and look appetizing. Two of us went on a busy Saturday morning, two lattes and two pastries... all good. Service was good. Interior is clean and a lot of open seating available. Worth visiting! Street parking isn't too hard to find, but has a 2 hour maximum. Wish there was more outdoor seating, but other than that, I liked my experience. Will be back!

    Great breakfasts, lunches, iced drinks, and really friendly staff. The baked goods are the best. The location can be hard to spot in an office park but that's what Google maps is for. Who looks for stores with their eyes anymore? Just follow the directions and get literally anything on the menu.

    I work in the area and get lunch there twice a week, not to mention the baked goods. I have never had a bad meal and dont expect one soon. Their muffins are fantastic and the banana brownies are a slice of heaven. The staff is more than friendly and the prices are reasonable.

    This place is a great little breakfast/lunch place tucked into a corporate plaza. Do yourself a favor and buy a cookie! Delicious.

    Let me start by saying I have been going to this coffee shop for 8 years and I love the owner. However, I recently stopped in to get a few cookies for my kids and was told by one of the baristas that I would have to wait 10 min since the cookies were still in the oven. I figured I didn’t have a lot of time because I had a pressing appointment but I was willing to wait . These cookies are by far some of the best I have ever had. So I went outside and put money in the parking meter . A few minutes went by and I went to the counter to inquire if my order was ready. This barista literally was the absolute worst ... she tells me that not only was I going to need to wait another 5-10 min additional after I had already been waiting the allotted timeframe , but now she doesn’t even have the cookies I originally requested ... at this point I’m upset... waiting all this time and I’m not even getting what I ordered... I didn’t want to leave empty handed after waiting so long so I told her to give me 10 of whatever just came out of the oven ... Long story short I end up with a $50 parking ticket because my time expired just before I came outside. On top of that after the clear communication on my part given to this “barista” ... she didn’t even give me the 10 out of the oven as I requested . I love what this owner has to offer ; however, I would not recommend this place as the customer service and communication with the customers has declined tremendously. I would consider going back if it improves.
