Our food came in about 15 minutes. We didn't have the best service-the server was friendly, but it took forever for us to get her to come take our order and we had to ask someone else for refills. We asked for several things during our visit and always had to wait at least five minutes. It took 10 minutes for us to get our bill after we asked. She checked up on us one time. You have to pay at the counter on your way out, and that did take quite a while because of people getting coffees and desserts. It would be better if the waitress could take payments. I will definitely come back for the food. Hopefully the service will be better. Don't miss out on this gem!

Other times I sat down and enjoyed a late lunch or early dinner. When I was there for lunch or dinner, the waitresses and staff were helpful. I always enjoyed a soup and sandwich. I have always lucked out with parking on the street almost out in front. The area is so cute. Almost like you are in a cute Hallmark movie, of maybe Gilmore Girls. They have wonderful beverages. I had a chocolate covered strawberry latte when I was there one day. It really hit the spot for my drive home. I enjoyed their fresh tomato soup, and sandwich with pasta salad. I brought cupcakes home to enjoy with the family. They are a pretty good size. Overall, this is a hot spot in Gloucester. I highly suggest checking them out.

Thick, perfectly cooked portions of cod... it just flaked apart. The batter was a thin layer, perfectly golden (not overcooked to brown) and very crispy. The batter was not super flavorful however that allowed the taste of the cod to come through and not be overpowered. I did not have to add anything to this for it to be delicious. They also had a she-crab soup special - it was chock full of crab. Don't have time to review every item. Trust the 5-star reviews about this place - you won't be disappointed.

Their prices were super fair, cheaper than a chain. The espresso shots were delicious and they had some really great flavor options. They also had a "pay it forward" board which was super cute. Definitely a sweet little small town coffee shop, I will always recommend places like this!

Definitely would wander off destination to stop here again, as it was worth the extra couple of miles detour.

If you can't finish your drink, they have this cool contraption of a paper to-go cup that you can request! The seating area was dimly list and plenty of tables; the only off-putting thing was that it smelled like urine; not sure if they need to do a deep-clean of the carpet? Staff were friendly, and the place seems pretty popular with the locals. Loved their various decor and signages, as they were fun to check out!

This distinctively…read moreshaped building has been turned into a reading room, children's play area, and cafe, which the community could really use. Food options are basic, but they have made a choice to carry some packaged gluten-free goods and some milk alternatives, so most diets can be accommodated. I got an iced matcha, which was straightforward and not overly sweet. Getting a waffle seemed the freshest option, and it was a sugary, tasty waffle with a few topping options, of which I picked a drizzle of maple syrup. Neither item was very large, but the price was right. It's a distinctive atmosphere, and you can see that this place is trying to bring something new to the area. It's not the kind of stuff you'd get at a high-end urban cafe, but it worked for me on the day.

I really enjoyed my drink. It was sweet but not too sweet. And the coffee was nice and not bitter. My fiancé got the tres leches and that was also very good. It was sweet and creamy. The coffee cake we got was just ok. It was kind of bland with hints of cinnamon. And it was a little dense. It was the only pastry that was there. I'm not sure if it was because we got there around 12, or if they just don't have other pastries regularly. It was also a lot more expensive than other coffee shops in the area. If we are back in the area we will definitely come back for the coffee and vibes. The inside is beautiful and a really chill place. It was clean inside and the couches were comfy. I also liked that the baristas knew the locals that came in. That welcoming feeling makes all the difference.
