Their coffee is top-notch smooth, rich, and made just right every time. I’ve tried a few different drinks and they’ve all been consistently delicious. Whether you’re into a classic latte, a flavored iced coffee, or one of their seasonal specialties, you’ll find something you love. The staff is always friendly and takes the time to make sure your order is perfect. You can tell they really care about both the product and the people who come in. It’s a great spot to meet up with a friend, get some work done, or just take a break from the day. And if you’re lucky, you might catch some local baked goods or treats on the counter too!
Definitely one of my go-to spots when I’m in town. Highly recommend supporting this sweet...
