What I like about this place is the chill vibe, the fresh foods and the amazing tea collection! (The coffee is awesome too but I really loved the “fruit of the forest” iced tea) The friendly lady was very nice and showed me all the teas and how they brew it. 100% would come back to try all of them

I really love this little cafe, they do the best coffee in town, their housemade frittata is absolutely delicious and they have an amazing range of beautiful gifts and plants. Service is always friendly and reasonably fast, leaving enough time to browse the goodies in store.

Great little cafe, I love the coffee, the food and the friendly service. The owner and staff go out of their way to offer personable service in a clean, friendly cafe with a lovely atmosphere.

This is my go-to spot for coffee with friends. Their cakes are super rich, and they have a very unique menu of coffee/tea/drinks (along with the regular options). The only thing stopping this from being a 5/5 is how cluttered the shop is, since it can make walking around or even sitting down a challenge (but they do have outdoor seating without the clutter).
