It is not easy to find decent eating options in the Kingdom of Sussex, but I stumbled across one…read moreyesterday in the wild. I was in town for the 2pm Lion King Jr. performance at the church just down the street, featuring my #1 Honorary Young Pup as a certain uptight red-billed hornbill (if you know you know). Sustenance was in order, and I wasn't looking for anything too heavy so this brunchy coffee spot seemed ideal - and it pretty much was. There was ample parking in the lot behind the building, but the place was pretty packed when I walked in. Even though I had to weave through a crowd to get to the counter, there wasn't an actual line and I was able to immediately order. Cute spot; looks like it's been fairly recently redone (last few years?) and I enjoyed the bathroom, which features very classy artwork of aristocratic felines on the walls. The soap dispenser is in a weird/awkward spot far to the left of the sink where it's almost impossible not to drip directly onto the floor, but at least they have one. I decided on the Protein Berry Crunch Toast and a slice of their Lemon Blueberry Loaf. Both were very tasty/hit the spot. I got the slice immediately upon ordering and considered getting a second one while I waited for the Toast. Cooler heads prevailed. It felt at least a little less naughty than that lemon loaf that Starbucks has, primarily because of the lack of icing (it has powdered sugar on top instead) and was moist; not too crumbly. The Toast came out probably in 10 minutes or so, which I think is perfectly acceptable given that it was clearly busy in there with both in-person and online orders. For the most part, I thought the combo of ingredients worked really well together; I was a little apprehensive about the cheese coming in, but it's pretty subtle and only dominant in a few random bites. I think the weakest part of the toast is the blueberries, but that's honestly more of a personal palate call than anything else - it just didn't totally mesh with the cheese for me and didn't have the vibrant taste of the other included fruits. But same token, part of the optics of this dish hinges on that blue. Everything is a balancing act. I'd totally get that again in a pinch, especially if I wasn't looking for a giant meal. The service/hospitality was very good, almost too good. After I finished my loaf, I left its wrapper and my number card (for them to locate me for the rest of my order) on the table while I used the restroom, and they were both picked up by an employee doing a sweep. That's arguably on me, who temporarily abandoned a table that looked like it had nothing but garbage on it. Even though it required 10 seconds worth of troubleshooting to get my number back, I don't know how you don't consider that a positive on the part of the staff. The same guy took my "real" garbage on my way out before I had a chance to bring it back inside. Very friendly, pleasant staff. Nice spot if you happen to be around. Will try to sample the coffee options on my next foray.

I would definitely come back to try their lattes but would hope the espresso is there??

I wanted a place to meet a family member in the area. While, she didn't know about this spot, her adult children/friends did, at least one being a coffee connoisseur! We were looking for coffee where we could sit down and chat & with her dog; this is THE place! It was a hot day and mid afternoon so she enjoyed a strawberry smoothie, and I had a large iced tea and appreciated that they could put it in my own cup. The service was friendly as you'd expect in 'the country.' We also shared a strawberry muffin that tasted like spring as we sat outside. The dog also seemed to appreciate the lovely breeze. Great atmosphere with a surprising amount of seating in and outside even as it doesn't appear that large from the outside. I did see a nice list of sandwiches, but had already eaten my sandwich at the S2H vista. We did see a steady flow of neighbors come and go; the parking lot, while three-quarter full was still ample. More reasons to go back to the area to hike, & connect with family at this coffee stop & more. A respite.

I was excited to try a new coffee place but this was not up to my standards…read more The initial vibe is cute with some couches and comfy chairs but it feels empty and without character. The French Toast latte was yummy even though they ran out of whipped cream. The carrot cake scone was pretty good, but they are refrigerated, so maybe ask for it to be heated up a bit to take the chill out. Hubby said the cappuccino was ok. I think what troubled me was the employee's indifference to our being there. We wiped down our own table because they all needed a cleaning. Then they said they needed to replace the napkins, they did but couldn't be bothered with bring us a couple. They were carrying in stock items and my husband held the door for them but they were like don't worry about it. We can just push the door ourselves.

It's the kind of place you actually want to linger in. I stopped in for a quick treat and coffee. The espresso was smooth and bold, served in a gorgeous black and gold cup, and the desserts looked almost too pretty to eat. I tried the chocolate cake (both the whipped cream with sprinkles and the ganache-topped slice) along with a caramel-topped panna cotta. Everything tasted fresh and felt thoughtfully made. It's a perfect spot for meeting a friend, grabbing something sweet after lunch, or even just enjoying a quiet coffee in a beautiful setting. Definitely happy to have a place like this in the neighborhood.

Staff were super friendly, service was quick, & most importantly the coffee and desserts were perfection. We had a latte, large espressos, they do espressos by small or large, not single, double, or triple, & an assortment of desserts. Everything gets an A! This would definitely be a go-to for me, if it weren't so far away. I guess the next time I visit these friends, I'll have to make a return visit.

I've been going to this deli for the past two years and have noticed several things:…read more 1. The sandwiches contain less meat than they used to and are priced higher. They employ an old deli trick of piling the meat in the center of the sandwich which when cut in half makes it look like it has more meat than it really does. The recent Jersey sandwich which contains corned beef, roast beef and turkey had only two slices of corned beef. 2. Different employees will charge or not charge sales tax on the sandwiches and prepared salads. 3. The baked goods are very over priced. I mean come on, $12.95 for a 7 in. by 7 in. crumb cake (yes I measured it).. On the plus side all the employees I've encountered are always courteous and hard working. My wife likes the prepared salads but they are now over $10.00. If the price increases continue at the current rate I will have to go elsewhere although in Sussex county the choices are limited.
