"Cute little joint in a cute little town. Service was great, barista helped me choose between two flavors and she was spot on.
I got the pistachio rose and my wife got the iced chai with honey. I loved mine, wife didn’t care for hers but I liked it.
Glad we stopped by."

"This is the exact vibe I want in a coffee shop—great selection of caffeinated and non-caffeinated bevies, cute crunchie ambiance, and friendly staff. If I lived locally, I would be here way too often. Thank you for being such a wonderful find!"

"Amazing local place with a chill, cozy vibe. We ordered a large chai latte, a small mushroom chai, and a large mushroom elixir tea, but unfortunately they charged us for a large mushroom chai. However I think this mix up was probably my fault because I changed my mind after we put in my original large chai latte order. The cashier did immediately try to switch my drink though. Overall, this café is adorable, the drinks were delicious, and the employees are wonderful so I’d totally go back!"
