They serve mostly sweets, but they do have a couple savory options, like quiche and croissants as well. I definitely would have appreciated some more savory options. The inside is also very charming, and the service is excellent, but it's just a bit cramped to really enjoy dining in. We sat next to a very loud table with a loud child, and I felt there wasn't much space to get away from them. We ordered the vanilla custard tart with raspberries, which was excellent. We also ordered a strawberry macaron, which I also really enjoyed. My husband ordered a coffee, which was good, but just a bit small. Overall I did really enjoy my experience here but I do wish there were a few more menu options!

They probably have around 20-30 flavors of biscotti at any given time, and most of the flavors have a "soft" version too if you're not a fan of the typical biscotti crunch. The people running the shop will gladly let you sample various flavors (and they're generous with the sample sizes too!) On top of that, there's a samples jar near the front of the shop that has samples of a bunch of flavors all mixed into one big jar. If you're feeling adventurous you can try whatever you can grab!

I took my kids and visiting family here on a Thursday when the kids had no school. I hear it can…read moreget crowded on the weekends, but on Thursday when we arrived a little before noon, it wasn't bad. They had a steady stream of newcomers but not too crowded. It was fairly easy to find though going there, my map told me to go down a treacherous gravel road which I wasn't terribly fond of. They have a moderately sized parking lot and you'll see this large, red barn. That's where you get your goodies (there's often a line) and where their store is. We stopped by for a treat first. They sell ice cream, cider floats, and what is a "TikTok famous" coffee float with donut. We got: Cider ($4) - I didn't actually drink this. I got it for my kid with food allergies. He wanted ice cream but they do not know if the ice cream they use contains eggs or not so we played it safe. My kid thought it was okay but finally finished it later. He typically prefers regular apple juice. Cider float with donut - you have a choice of no donut for $2 less. It's like a root beer float but with cider instead of root beer, black and orange sprinkles around the time of the cup, whipped cream, and a powdered cider donut over it all. I shared this with my daughter. That donut was delicious! Warm, tender, and crisp on the outside. The drink was great! I do wish it came with a spoon because it got difficult finishing the last of it. Warning: if you have one of these, the bees are coming for you. They use some sort of caramel-like sauce to get the sprinkles to stick. Overall, quite good. Maple cider donut ($3): my sister got this and she said it was amazing, but she said she thought $3 was a bit much (the unglazed donuts are $1.25 each). She's vegan, so didn't partake in the float, but she also wasn't going to ask if there's milk in the donut. If you're getting only donuts, they are purchased in the store. They have tables and chairs nearby for you to picnic and enjoy your treats. Going through the gates, there was a table but they were busy with other people so we walked right in. There is no entrance fee, which was nice. You go through the apple orchard first. It seems like most of the apples have been picked through, though there are a lot of developing apples. Some of the nicer ones were way too tall for us; they don't provide ladders. We only managed to find one that looked nice. At the end, there used to be a sunflower field and the corn maze. It's epic but you don't know how formidable until you're past the point of return and realize it's not a kids maze. We were in there for a while! Even met other kids that thought they'd be lost forever. The corn stalks are taller than a human and they're pretty dense so you can't look over or through them. It's a true maze and I was impressed. I wish they would provide a paper maze puzzle of the corn maze because I'm so curious how it is from above. Lots of dead ends. What I can say is don't lose hope. You'll get there! (When we finally found the exit, it was almost like a dream because we had been staring at corn for so long.) In hindsight, it was good we ate something first. Once done, we explored the sunflowers and saw the pumpkin patch. As we headed out, we went to pay for our lone apple and we discovered THE CORN MAZE IS NOT FREE. It's $10 per adult and $5 per kid. They charged us $1 for the single apple. I guess they work on the honor system? I didn't mind much because that maze clearly took planning. Before we left, we visited the store full of baked goodies. I got a few cider donuts, a dumpling, and a piece of crumb cake because they just brought out a fresh tray. Plus a lattice harvest pie. The pies with crumble aren't vegan, but the lattice pies are made of vegetable shortening. Restrooms! They have a row of port-a-potties by the parking lot. They're actually the cleanest ones I've been to before. No sinks but they do have a dispenser of antibacterial hand gel. The openings are a bit large so if your kid needs to use the toilets, hold onto them. Overall, it was quite enjoyable and I definitely think everyone should go through a corn maze of this caliber at least once in their life. The apple pickings were sparse but at least you get delicious floats and donuts! Note: they have gluten free goodies in the store but they are nut based (almond flour). They also had one gluten free-vegan item.

My family and I made a trip to come here. It was a bit far of a drive about 2 hours but we wanted…read moreto check it out. There wasnt any pumpkin left in the field to pick and the apples were not event there on the trees. I would definitely have to say hand down to the cute little store - there was a bakery side and oh my gosh the donuts , the cookies and the Tik Tok famous drink was out of this world. So the 2 hour trip was definitely worth the drive. The service was okay the individuals behind the counter to order the Tik Tok drink had a bit of a attitude when I was asking about questions. Just stay patient. Other then that I would highly recommend coming here and trying a piece of all of there different donuts and cookies are soo soo good. They even had a pumpkin cider donut which I never had before. Don't forget to stop by and check them out.

The food is pricey but looks homemade so I understand. The coffee was simple and good. I got the Cupids Kiss, a valentines seasonal, it was mild and tasty. Smelled much sweeter and flavorful than it was, which is fine for me I didn't want a sweet sugary drink. The pasta salad was delicious and pretty good for $9. The croissant sandwiches look good but $13. Cash or Venmo only. Lots of parking. The front door is hard to spot as there's no sign on it, I waited for someone to go in and then knew where the door was. It's a knob door so if your hands are full of coffee you can't open it, I spilled while trying. There's a table next to it which helps. It would be nice if they have bags too so when purchasing food and other stuff it's easy to carry. The barista was super nice.

We ordered the cornbread special, the porchetta sandwich special, and the biscuits and gravy. Everything was fresh, filling, and delicious. The porchetta sandwich was flavorful, though I personally found a few pieces a bit fatty with some skin, which wasn't my preference. The biscuits and cornbread on the other hand were fantastic! I also loved the cozy setup inside and the fun idea of having games to play while you dine. The staff was friendly and helpful, which made the experience even better! 4.5!

These days,while I appreciate the attempt in making the interior more inviting (think Mid-Century modern vibes), this is "order & pay at the counter" type of service,with significantly reduced menu options (mostly sandwiches), and given the pricing the food itself wasn't satisfying unfortunately (we had Falafel wrap and Pren Burger,both of which I would probably have done much better at home-lacking flavors overall,plastic dishes,falafels were basically mashed chickpeas). As for recommending to others,I'd say this may still be worth a stop for a coffee and maybe a boardgame sitdown-definitely don't expect amazing food :/ Overall,since my priority when eating out is food,I'm disappointed and not returning,sorry..!

The amaretto iced coffee is smooth, slightly sweet, and easy to drink, and the chocolate chip scone understood the assignment, buttery, loaded with chips, and gone way too fast. Inside, you've got shelves stacked with coffee jars like a caffeine apothecary, burlap coffee sacks casually flexing their single-origin credentials, and just enough cozy chaos to remind you this place is serious about beans. Outside, there's a festive little setup with lights, a giant present looking entrance (Santa clearly approves), and a tiny free library because caffeine and books are a power combo. Bonus points for enjoying the coffee from the car like a true commuter philosopher. Is this the kind of coffee that'll change your life? No. Is it the kind that makes your morning better and your drive more tolerable? Absolutely. The two baristas are elite: no small talk, no life stories, just order pour go. Morning efficiency at its finest. Bonus points for Spanish speakers, because coffee sounds better en español. Rápido, directo, sin vueltas

Just this Monday I went in and the meat counter was empty, the butcher dept in the back was closed and completely black, and the freezer section was empty. Every time the excuse is "we lost power", how does one place lose power this often. Shelves are empty of basic grocery items. The only thing that there is plenty of is the large expensive candy section. I bought a gallon of milk last week, expiration date was this week and yet when I got the milk home is was disgusting. The employees are constantly changing there. They are never happy or nice. The older guy in the meat dept is the most miserable person I have ever encountered in customer service. He acts as though it is the biggest inconvenience to wait on customers. Living in the area, I really wish some other store would move into this location.
