Fait or confidence-- either way, I call it magic my friends, pure beauty!

Due to a gas leak, I was kicked out of my hotel earlier than anticipated. I had important meetings and needed to work. I yelped coffee shops and found this place. I quickly headed over- not showering, not fully dressed (appropriately), breath probably smelled like, well-- you know--.

Parking: well, not knowing the area I passed the street parking and into the lot in which this establishment is connected to; however, it's for the County and there were no spots. I parked down the street and walked. When I approached the shop I debated on sitting outside because it looked so relaxing, but didn't see any outlets for my computer. I went inside and was immediately welcomed by who I am assuming was the owner. I asked for an Iced Americano (yes, Dani S, I cheated) and sat down. I was offered a menu. She said she would bring it to me, but I said I'd be happy to save her some steps and take it now.

I noticed there was hot food in the warmer-- Indian Food, or so I thought, but it was more Asian inspired. I was delivered my drink in a large, thick glass cup and it was tasty! I looked over the menu, I couldn't make a decision as it all sounded mouth-watering with great prices (see photos)! So, I decided to go with the food in the warmer. Thai Chicken Satay and Japanese Teriyaki Chicken with fried rice was my choice all for $6.99. The food was flavorful and yummy, but lukewarm.

I ended up having a few conversations with LoriJo. She checked on all of us, and was super friendly! I liked this place and if I lived here, I would be a regular!

If you visit here, tell LoriJo...

My wife and I tried this place out yesterday and we were both happy with the prices and overall food quality. We are done supporting fast food chains and are looking to just dine out locally and keep our money in the community and helping small businesses. this place has proven we made the right choice. 👍🏻

If anyone else is interested in supporting good local businesses please leave some recommendations of other restaurants in your reviews.

We hit this place off a google search. The service was friendly & fast, the place was clean and the prices were good. We ordered based on a picture we found on Google and the Vegi did not disappoint!! The coffee was also amazing! We did order the red potato/blue cheese salad and I'm pretty sure it was old. The potatoes were a weird texture, color and flavor. Otherwise it was a great...
