I love this local coffee shop as there aren't that many in the area. I usually get carry out but…read morethey have inside seating in the back & also outdoor seating. If I want to go here on the weekend I usually order ahead as it is packed. The food & coffee amazing, especially the peppermint mocha. The breakfast burrito & sandwiches are good as well & the prices are cheaper for coffee than the local chain coffee shop. I highly recommend this place. The only negative is they close at 3

The Roast Coffee and Cafe was a recommendation from the winery staff down the street and boy was it…read morea great recommendation. I arrived about 20 mins to closing and staff was welcoming and willing to take my order. The space is intimate, clean and cozy. Beautiful lighting with easy listening music. They also offer outdoor seating and there is ample parking. The ladies at the cashier and cook were so helpful and helped me choose the meal and I went with the Chorizo Jack Wrap and I added scrambled eggs. The ingredients were fresh, seasoned so well and balanced. My wrap was filling and I was so happy with my food. I ended my meal with a chocolate chip cookie which was so moist and perfect way to finish my meal.

Charming and quaint coffee shop in a peaceful area! Food was good and they use paper instead of…read moreplastic containers. Can't say that for cold drinks and utensils though. Service was great, friendly staff. Rating would have been perfect but me and my friend bought the same avocado toast and it definitely wasn't even! One (in the pic) has a thin spread of avocado and just the right amount of bacon maybe. The other (wasn't able to get a pic) has maybe lumps or 2 scoops so thick avocado and double the bacon topping. I suggest consistency in serving. Cafe is small but there are quite a number of seats, not for big groups. Also, doesn't matter how you enter but cafe has 2 doors, use the left door and that'll lead you right up to the counter where you order. Went on a sunny 60-70f ish day and al fresco dining perfect! It might have been a little busy that day, the bin was overflowing. Overall, well-maintained and might be back again soon!

A quaint coffee shop with delicious offerings. We haven't had a pastry we didn't like! This time,…read morewe tried the peach cobbler cinnamon roll and cookie dough croissant. The peach cobbler roll was a great seasonal take on a classic pastry and not overly sweet for a cinnamon roll. The cookie dough croissant is RICH, I couldn't finish one, but it was perfect for sharing. Not pictured are banana bread iced lattes which were delicious, but I would probably ask for extra syrup next time as the banana bread flavor was pretty subtle compared to how well flavored their other drinks are. Service was quick and efficient but some tips for first timers: there's a menu board for drinks out where the line is, but the pastry menu is only available once you're at the counter. And the pastries are on a rack, so you won't be able to view and decide ahead of time. This coffee shop is counter service only, there's one long table and benches under a covering but no indoor seating.

The line was incredibly long to order and there were no tables available inside. I quickly grabbed a picnic table on the patio which I saved before joining the line. The counter service was fantastic. Very friendly workers who accommodated my request to put 6 muffins in boxes so I could share outside with the group. Delicious pastries - muffins and Croissants from Kneads Bakery, along with small batch roasted coffee. Yummers!

Came in for brunch. Eggs are all over the menu but you apparently can't put one on the avocado…read moretoast? Asked nicely, got a flat no like I'd asked them to butcher a hog in the dining room. It's an egg. On toast. People order this literally every weekend. Then the cash tip thing. I've got my card out at the reader, bills in my other hand for the tip jar, and the response is "we don't take cash." Cool. Maybe look up from the screen long enough to notice the actual person standing there first. Whole thing felt less like a kitchen and more like an assembly line. If you can't add one egg to one piece of toast, you're not cooking, you're unwrapping and putting it on a panini press or grill. "Farm" in the name is carrying a lot of weight for food that never got near one. 2.5 stars is right, rounded up to 3.

Our group had a nice time eating here after taking a hike at the trail next door. I got the chicken…read moresalad but requested it without bread and was very satisfied that they served it to me instead on a bed of greens. One friend got the chicken Caesar salad. It's listed on the menu as a "small plate" but turned out to be a very decent size. My husband tried the key lime ice cream, which was not listed on the menu of flavors. This tasted really good too. The seating area is very limited - about six table with two chairs each. There are also a few tables outside. One drawback is that prices are not clearly listed. For instance, I could not find any signage for how much the drinks, muffins or croissants cost, which would have been helpful to me in my attempt to be a smart consumer. Overall, this is a nice place to grab a bite after walking or biking the trail. There is 30 minute parking for customers - apparently the employee told a friend of ours that they do tow away cars (I guess of hikers) but I don't know how much they enforce the time aspect.

As a first-time visitor from out of town, this spot earned a place on my list of coffee shops that…read moreI'd actually love to visit again! The vibe was busy but comfortable at the same time. The busy-ness was a testament to its popularity, yet it was comfy and relaxed because there was a variety of seating areas where one could enjoy their beverage and/or food. Many were reading, listening to personal headphones, chatting with friends. The atmosphere was lively. I loved that the menu had a variety of items on it... Definitely something for everyone. This is one of the few shops that have a delicious cardomom syrup. I actually ended up ordering a second beverage because the first one was so delicious!

I visited this spot this morning and had a delicious cappuccino! The barista even put a little…read morebunny on it. So I was really hoppy about finding this place. Until I entered the bathroom. And saw the "under" orientation of the toilet paper, which violates the original patent for toilet paper holders from 1891, where the paper clearly goes over the top. The "over" configuration: * prevents the roll from brushing the wall * makes it easier to grab with one hand * reduces accidental unrolling * and, most importantly, does not make decent people feel like they're living in a lawless society. What you have here is bathroom anarchy. I must admit that tile and brushed metal fixtures actually look really nice, which somehow makes the backward roll even more upsetting. It's like a beautifully plated meal served on the floor. Moreover, the ceiling contains approximately 400 judgmental eyes observing you while you attempt to live your life. The wallpaper on the ceiling (on the ceiling!!!) has a pattern based on the "evil eye" motif (sometimes called nazar), which shows up in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern design. Traditionally it's supposed to ward off bad luck or jealousy. All it does in this case is confirm the establishment has abandoned reason and at least one of the people who work has met a psychedelic mushroom. Still, the vibe everywhere else in this place is amazing and the coffees are very very good!

This place has a Starbucks within it; however, what really threw me off was what I could get here…read morewhen using a voucher from the hotel that this place is located in, upon checkin. When I went today to order my coffee, the gal at the register looked at me like "-_-." I was like "How does this voucher work?" No response. "Should I just order one item or combo?" "Uh...I could do a combo....." She clearly had no idea what I was asking. In the past, whenever I had a voucher, it would state what it was good for. For instance, "Voucher good at buffets at the _____ restaurant or for a beverage and baked good at __________." I ended up getting a Venti Cafe Latte and a bacon, egg, and cheese breakfast sandwich ($10.45 value). I guess that was okay right? I think of it this way. If this voucher holds no cash value, but I used it to cover breakfast the day before worth $22, I am sure it was no big deal to get a breakfast worth less. There is no specified what I could get with this. She even asked if I wanted to get anything else. Should I assume that if I really wanted to abuse this voucher, I could have ordered like 6 items? Suggestion: Please have staff who have knowledge of what the voucher can be used for within this quick service place.
