If you're in Mahone Bay and you want decent coffee look no further. It is not church basement coffee. We all know that coffee by now. This coffeehouse is what Starbucks wishes it could be. Been there several times and each year just keeps getting better. Owner is open to feedback.

The cinnamon rolls were the best I've tried. The service - it took me two trips to finally order. The first time I was ignored (by an older gentleman waiting on customers) so I left, the second time was younger people on staff and they were great. The atmosphere is confusing as in there is a small ordering space and lots of things inside, but its also located in a tourist community and that vibe is not my strong suit. Overall, it's my first and...
