What you would hope an independent coffee shop to be: Above average, carefully made coffee, in a friendly welcoming environment.
Excellent and well prepared coffee. Creamy. Not sour. Not bitter. Sufficient foam. Smooth. That alone can be sufficient for many.
Everyone was nice. Not just the person at the register. The barista was even nicer. But that wasn't it. Even the person in the prep area in the back was friendly and directed me to the restroom with a smile. Bonus point. They apparently make their own quiches here.
They have outdoor seating, which is a big plus.
Best reason to be impressed was that someone else had taken my coffee drink because it was the same size. He noticed that after a few minutes when his drink became ready.

I will definitely revisit for the fritatta, but will make sure and...
Read moreCould not ask for a better local cosy coffee shop, you want to be able to pop in early on the weekend in your pyjamas or your raggedy yard clothes, read the paper at a small table with your banana walnut cake and mocha, see a familiar face or two, then leave, ready for the day, that's what a neighborhood coffee shop is supposed to be, nothing pretentious or too glamorous, just laid back and comfortable although this is a pretty classy place, you want to be able to park in front and walk ten steps, this is everything i could possibly ask for, prices are not in the least excessive for this kind of experience. If The Beagle wasn't here, I guess I'd go to Starbucks over the road, but I feel lucky to have a quality coffee house so close to my home. Thank...
