Very disappointed. I was researching a new place to get breakfast goodies, and this place checked off all the boxes. I actually thought I'd have a hard time choosing between scones or muffins. Yeah...they had 3 regular scones that were all apple & cinnamon flavored, and 4 small scones, 3 of which were also apple & cinnamon and 1 blueberry. I also saw two danish-type pastries. That's it. That is the extent of the food they had in the case. I thought since I had only been here once before a few years ago (tons of options that time) that I just didn't know where the treasure trove of deliciousness was stored. Alas, I was verbally advised that those few items were the extent of their offerings. I grabbed the small blueberry scone so I'd have something to eat this morning, but didn't bother with trying the hot chocolate like I intended. I've since been told by a friend (so can't confirm 100%) that this place is under a new owner and they just kept the name, so perhaps that is why the information I found was...

The overall experience was good, we will definitely...
   Read moreThe drive through is a half of an alley that you can't access from the parking lot of the Cafe. Super hard to pull in to. I ordered a pb avalanche based on positive reviews but will say i taste 0 pb, and have 0 pb aftertaste. It's more like a mocha iced latte and I would say a medium tasting one at best. I would probably not go out of my way to come here again and explore other places instead. To edit, the service was great, super friendly person at window. I did not order food and this was my first time here looking for a good cup of coffee in the area. Just an honest review...
