Council Mountain Coffee & Laundromat — Restaurant in Council

I really want to like and support a local business, however several things happened to receive a 1 star review.

What a great treat in Council. Perfect for locals or those just passing by. They offer coffee, tea, Italian sodas, treats, and a great environment. They also have a small giftshop, and FREE Library inside as well as a small library box on the outside of the building. And even more amazing treat, was that I found the book I illustrated for sale in their gift shop, ('I saw a purple bubble' is an illustrated poem for children, so if you pass by buy my book. Hehe!) The barista is talented and friendly, exactly what you want at a coffee shop. The locals are also friendly. The atmosphere is clean, bright, and adorably decorated. Highly recommend stopping here if you're passing through this...

Thanks to everyone we met there today, it was a...
