this is a new hidden gem in Frederick. they have great hours for a night owl like me (espresso till 8pm) and they also have a full bar (which isn't my vice but watching the bartender I can tell they know what they are doing). the atmosphere is great with a variety of seating options from long tables to comphy chairs. they have games and stuff to entertain your party and they have a wide assortment of pastries (including gluten free ones).
