Try this spot out!…read more Came here for dinner with a friend on a work trip and would go back again for certain! We shared the platter - pulled pork, ribs, brisket, collard greens, and Mac and cheese. The pulled pork was decent, but the ribs and the brisket were amazing! My favorite being the ribs. The collard greens and mac were also very good! Little salty for the greens but I loved it. The bbq sauce and the whole meal was awesome. The staff were friendly and we actually ran into a cook who is from San Diego which is where my coworker was from also. We finished with the pudding and oh boy was that a blast from the past. Took me back to being a kid and having banana pudding with vanilla wafers at grandmas. Ambiance is a small house style building that is next to a gas station. Don't let it fool you, they know what they're doing for bbq. If I wasn't across the country I'd go back here quite often! I love to bbq and can give a few places a run for their money, but not those ribs... Olde Towne smokehouse had some of the best ribs I've eaten. Good work, and good eatin! Recommend.

They even tried to think of places that would have what I was looking for. Everything looked so delicious. I asked if they ever made zucchini bread because my family loves that this time of year. They had just made some and offered me a sample. It was so delicious! I ended up coming back after shipping out a package. It was a nice quiet bakery with a lovely homey feel. You can tell they're popular and sell out quickly but they're not a big high end bakery. Definitely a must try.

There was plenty of seating and space for everyone. people were just talking and enjoying their morning. I got an iced mocha and it was delicious! Very rich and the whip cream on top was wonderful. I also got a sausage, egg, and cheese on a biscuit and it was 10/10. The biscuit was light and fluffy, I was worried about the look of the egg, but it was well seasoned and delicious! The cheese, oh my, had an epic cheese pull and it was delicious! The staff was INDREDIBLY friendly as well! 10/10 all around!

I work in Mechanicsville and have been on the hunt for a good coffee shop (that's not a chain). I…read morewas excited to find this place and stopped in today to pick up coffee for me and a coworker. I arrived during their quieter time, just after 12:30pm, so there's were no lines and I had the opportunity to talk to one of the baristas about latte options. I decided on a peppermint white mocha latte and got an iced vanilla latte with almond milk for my coworker. I also picked up a raspberry muffin, which was staring me in the face, lol! The shop is pretty spacious, with lots of seating (sofas and comfy chairs, too), and I could see why people would want to hang out while enjoying their purchases. The staff was super friendly. We both enjoyed our drinks and the muffin was tasty, too (a bit better after heating it up a bit). I'm so glad I found such a cute coffee shop near work!
