Ok, I retired from writing reviews but you know…read more.. I started this third-wave coffee journey after realizing I was mostly buying coffee from larger stores where the roast dates were usually two to three months old. One month old if I got lucky. And listen, there are some great third-wave coffee roasters on those shelves but the problem is freshness. At the time, I was deep into the pour-over coffee rabbit hole, and I kept passing this little coffee spot with a sign that basically said "Need more coffee? We roast it here," with arrows pointing down. And for some reason, I kept ignoring it. The sign wasn't fancy. It wasn't trying to be trendy. It didn't have the polished third-wave café aesthetic from the outside. It was just a simple roadside sign telling you exactly what mattered: they roast coffee here. Eventually I thought, "Wait a minute. If they're roasting coffee right here, why am I still buying bags from bigger stores with roast dates that are two to three months old?" So one day, I finally pulled in. Immediately - and I mean immediately - I realized I had completely judged this place wrong. This was a serious third-wave coffeehouse. And honestly, when you think about it, the sign is actually genius. A sinple sign that says "Need more coffee? We roast it here" is probably only going to attract people who actually care about proper coffee. Classic case of don't judge a book by its cover. Because now? I can't really get my coffee anywhere else. I've had some of the best coffees here. One year they had this Colombian Santa Maria light roast, high-elevation that totally changed my mind about Colombian coffees. I had always thought of Colombian coffees as more medium-roast, classic coffee profiles, but that one opened my eyes. Right now, they have this Fara Estate Nicaraguan light-medium roast that is absolutely delicious. They have a serious-looking pour-over setup with custom V60 holders and gooseneck kettle setup, so you can tell this is not just a place that sells coffee. This is a place that actually understands coffee. If you're the kind of person who checks roast dates, owns a V60, argues with yourself about grind size, or has ever fallen way too deep into the coffee rabbit hole, this place is worth stopping for. And if you're not that person yet, this might be the place that turns you into one.

This isn't my everyday spot, even though it's literally on my daily route, because let's be honest,…read moreI don't buy chaos that often. But when I do stop in? It's always a treat. Like a little reward for surviving life. I remember this place during COVID. Empty. Deserted. Sahara level emptiness. One heroic worker holding the line, staring into the void, still making coffee like a champion. Back then my go to was their coconut cold brew... which, thank God, is STILL on the menu. Do yourself a favor and try it. It got me through lockdown emotionally. And yes, I still went to coffee shops during lockdown, coffee was essential, don't argue with me. Fast forward to today and WOW. This place has absolutely blown up, in the best way. Every time I walk in now, there are people ordering, hanging out, working remotely, pretending they're writing novels, the whole vibe. Clearly they've got regulars, but the coolest part? The baristas still help you right away and don't make you feel like you interrupted their coffee cult meeting. Immediate love. No awkwardness. Honestly, between the decor, the people, the drinks, and how clean everything is, this place just gets it. It's warm, it's cool, it's consistent, and it somehow went from "COVID ghost town" to "community hub" without losing its soul. So no, it's not my everyday stop, but when I do come, I leave happier, caffeinated. They absolutely rock it.

Great for meeting up with friends, maybe even small groups (depending on the size of the group). I ordered a coffee and scone. The scone was not too sweet, which I really liked! They clearly use real ingredients and don't oversweeten recipes, which is comfortable to digest. The scone was a bit dry and hard and didn't give the flare of flavor I was hoping for-- I'd ordered a Mexican chocolate scone and wanted to taste deep smoky chocolate and spice. The flavor was much milder and middle of the road. I saved most of it but ate it over the next couple days. Tasted better once the flavors set in I guess. The coffee was just aiight though. I a huge coffee fanatic so this one hit home. Wasn't bad by any means, but didn't spark my soul either. I explore lots of vegan and GF places, and if you're in the area, do go check them out.

I ordered a dirty chai which the spice and milk ratio was great. I got the kale Caesar with crispy chicken, went healthy but not. The seasoning of the chicken was delicious, it was a lot of kale and not as much dressing. Maybe if it had iceberg with the kale it might've been easier to chew -- or more dressing? Either way, still great! My daughters got the grilled cheese and croissant with apple juices. They loved it! We will be coming back more often!

The prices are very reasonable and you always get a big portion with whatever you order here. The owner here is so incredibly sweet . I love this cafe and I love all of the seasonal decorations. I highly recommend coming here and checking out their small business!

I got a white chocolate latte with oat milk and it was so good! They make the oat milk in house and you can truly tell because the flavor of it is just deliciously strong . The owner was there and he is just amazing. You can chat with him about coffee and spend hours on end. Their coffee is the only one I've ever tried that actually will keep me up till 4 AM even if I drank it at 12 PM , so beware!

I ordered a 24oz Classic Cold Brew "Sandy Beach" (coconut & brown sugar) with 1/2 &1/2, a double shot of espresso & vanilla cold foam. Total cost was $9.60 I pre-ordered in the parking lot. I walked in and was not greeted or acknowledged by the 4 employees that were there. There was 2 people waiting for drinks 1 person ordering at the register. I sat down at the cute communal table and waited about 5 minutes for my order. Efficiency was a plus, place was cute another plus.... Coffee not worth the money or the drive, I guess if you live in FL and want a specialty coffee and you want to spend around $10 then it's worth it. For someone like me I wouldn't drive here again just to get coffee. I could not taste any coconut at all, it was very sweet which I attribute to the "brown sugar" another pump of coconut might of gave this place another star but it definitely didn't hit the spot.
