Not only do they have an amazing selection of coffee, espresso, and tea, but their food menu is fantastic too. The seating areas are adorable, and they have the cutest gifts and items for purchase. It's the perfect spot for breakfast, lunch, or even a drink at the bar, but it's also great if you just want to grab a latte to go and do a little shopping. If you visit when the butterflies are in season, make sure to take a stroll to the butterfly house on the side of the building - it's a small, peaceful getaway. Sometimes they even have moths in a cage inside the store, which is always interesting to see. I've been to hundreds of coffee shops across the country, and this is truly my favorite of all - and it just happens to be right next to my neighborhood.

Highly recommend this spot!

The owners were helpful and explained the various crepes to us. We ordered a strawberry crepe with Nutella and white and milk chocolate drizzle. The crepe came out fresh and was very thick. I could see someone who loves chocolate loving this but it was a bit overly sweet for us. We also ordered a strawberry bubble tea with peach and a strawberry smoothie. Both drinks were average and did not have a unique taste. They tasted more like juice as opposed to a fruit taste. I don't think I would order the drinks again. This place also sells the infamous Dubai chocolate and the strawberry chocolate cup trending on tiktok. I don't think I would come again but a decent experience overall.

Biscuit Daddies specializes in biscuits (obviously), and makes a delicious, light and fluffy gluten free biscuit that tastes just like a regular biscuit! They offer breakfast sandwiches, biscuits and gravy, and even a biscuit that tastes almost exactly like a cinnamon roll! I enjoyed the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich one morning and "the hangover helper" the second morning (which is a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit topped with their gluten free gravy and a side of hash brown casserole). Both were very tasty! We also tried their cinnamon roll biscuit (ask them to warm it up) and it was delicious! It was worth making just a little extra room to try. We chatted with the owner who was very friendly and passionate about finding a gluten free customer base. He shared several of his recipes (such as the casserole) have become 100% gluten free, as the taste was so indistinguishable from the original recipe. Even if you aren't gluten free I'd still highly recommend dining at Biscuit Daddies. They also offer regular biscuits for all of their menu options.

I tasted the whites, never heard of them, awful so you can't go wrong w/ a High Noon. Small bar, three other patrons & bartender was busy talking that I didn't get a drink until I was seated to eat. He came over, like it was his first time seeing me & said oh someone forgot about you over here. Yes, you did. No worry. Started w/ the Charcuterie Board 3/5 the marinated olives (which my server had no clue they were marinated when I inquired more) were the best thing! I could buy a jar of them. The meats were ok, brie was good, the cheddar was stale like it sat out for two days. I ordered the Short Ribs which came w/ a Blue Cheese Risotto. Horrible. I know short ribs are fatty, but only got one piece of meat off of them & the risotto tasted like some kind of cleaning solution & even smelled like it. 5/5 for the Collard Greens. I asked the server to replace the risotto for Collards & he said they can't because the chef thinks it takes away from the dish, unless you have an allergy. I dont eat carbs, but said ok & gave it a taste. I was starving so gave them another try by ordering the Smores Dessert. 5/5 Very good. But I did not leave satisfied w/ the service or food at all. My server was clueless to everything. It's such a gorgeous establishment w/ so much potential! I was not planning on such an awful experience & hope they get it together. I'd like to come back & not feel like Im starving after I leave a farm-to-table establishment. Try it for yourself, but the greens were the best w/ hot sauce. I almost left after the bar experience & the charcuterie board, but stayed to give them a shot. Wasn't worth it.

He's also GF -plenty of options! Wednesday night after dropping our son off @ UK. Started with a drink @ the bar. Hubby had an Old Fashioned (we're from WI), good, not made to his particulars but had a decent pour of selected bourbon. I ordered the special weekly cocktail contributed by Makers Mark. I'm not a bourbon person but loved it. A margarita style drink. Our server Hunter, was very helpful with our selections & provided good advice. We ordered a nice bottle of cab, & started dinner with the tri tip. So good! Even the hubby ate the cheesy grits it was served on. I had the seasonal fish (trout). Warned ahead of time it would be served with the head on, pan fried with a savory sauce & topped fresh herbs (mint, parsley & basil). Hubby ordered the tri tip with a chimchuri sauce over risotto with wild mushrooms. He shared a bite & I found it delicious! He was disappointed that the sauce overtook the flavor of the filet. Would have had dessert but we were stuffed! I would definitely eat there again but too many places that we still need to try.

Not all bars or bartenders do this, especially on busy nights, and my experience is not necessarily common. On to the review. Some evenings are just dinner and drinks. Some are experiences. Thanks to Tony, Grandam was an experience. Had a 5:30 Monday reservation at Grandam, which was easy to snag on Opentable. Had time to wait before my reservation, so I sat at the bar and ordered Rosemary Sol Margarita (blanco tequila, rosemary agave, apricot liqueur, tajin). The drink wasn't bad, but despite the bartender's attempts at making the recipe less sweet, it was still pretty cloying. That's when the bartender introduced himself as Tony and we began to discuss margaritas and our personal tastes, which led to Tony making me his own personal brand of margarita, which was much more palatable. Then it was time for my reservation and I bid Tony adieu until later (more on the bar to come). The restaurant, decorated in moody velvets and leathers, was empty, but that could have been due to the snowy weather. My server was wonderful and prompt, and took pride in explaining how Grandam is part of a farm collective that prioritizes local farmers and vendors, though she did explain their oysters were from Chesapeake Bay (of course). While the appetizer menu contained pork belly, corvina dishes, oysters, Jamaican crawfish, yuca fritters, and deviled eggs, I opted for the wood fired mushrooms. This dish, made with foraged mushrooms, salsa mocha, goat cheese spread, and cornbread was earthy and complex. Loved the goat cheese's added creaminess. I am not a cornbread fan, but this cornbread was light and tasted as cornbread should. Once other tables started arriving, several remarked how much they enjoyed it. I almost considered the tri-tip, made with bourbon braised tri-tip, 12 year white cheddar, grits, and mustard chimichurri, but the server told me it's a larger dish meant for sharing and I didn't want to ruin my main dish. For my entree I couldn't pass up the venison Wellington, deer meat wrapped in a flaky puff pastry, accompanied by pumpkin miso Demi glaze, country ham, foraged mushrooms, butternut squash, broccolini and fennel salad, and a tart cherry vinaigrette. The venison was moist and fall apart tender, medium to rare, and the dish came together like a symphony. And even though it might be a little trashy, even in the nicest restaurants I order their fries. These fries were crisp and hot and well seasoned. Grandam has signature entrees that are always available. The Wellington changes depending on which meat is seasonal. Pan seared trout, fried chicken, and a filet are also on the old and faithful list. The seasonal menu included another corvina dish (a mild white fish), creole lamb curry, clams asada and corn pasta, more steak, and cabbage and chana. The dessert menu offered pecans and coconut, miso chess pie, a chocolate torte, ice cream, and nightcap sweet drinks. I was so full I had to pass. Of note, the chef of Grandam is Ecuadorean, so expect that to influence most, if not all, of the food (in a fantastic way). Once I finished my meal, it was back to the bar, which is part of Grandam as well as the Manchester Hotel Lobby, where Tony awaited. Tony used to be the manager of the bar before leaving for other opportunities, and told me he still worked Mondays to "fill his cup." He and I bonded over the fact that I am adventurous and like to let bartenders have their way with the spirits. I don't order off the menu if I don't have to. First I had a cocktail made of my favorite spirit, gin-- the last word, a prohibition cocktail made with gin, green chartreuse, maraschino, and fresh lime juice. Simple, refreshing. Then Tony introduced me to a vodka I've never seen before called Blacklion, made with a rare type of sheep's milk. While I know it sounds crazy, and I'm not even a vodka person, it was incredibly smooth. He made me a reverse vesper martini, a lighter, aperitif style drink. It was my favorite drink of the night probably, and I'm not even a martini person. We finished the night with what he called the best American whiskey in the world, stating, "If I could draw whiskey as a picture, this is what it would look like." It's not often bartenders wax poetic. This was not cheap, and he warned me, but I had ended up sitting next to a guy who had helped design several of the whiskey labels at the bar, and that's what he was having, so with all that, how could I say no? That had to be the last drink of the night because it was very deep and smoky and a knockout. Tony agreed that it was a nightcap type of beverage and not much could follow it. Tony has a true passion. This whole evening was a vibe. I can't wait to go back again. But if you want the Tony experience, you have to go on a Monday! I can't be held responsible for any other day.

I could go on and on about how incredible this little business is, from the…read moreincredible selection of teas supporting woman owned businesses, to the fantastic customer service, not to even start with just how good their baked goods were, but I am going to attempt to keep this relatively brief. Walking in you will find a cozy yet bright fun space filled with charm including even a little mouse door and so much attention to detail. In the case there are baked goods that apparently rotate on a weekly basis except for a few staple items, but everything we got was absolutely incredible (the chocolate pecan pie bar was to die for). In the corner there are some items for sale along with all of their teas, and while we did not drink any there we did purchase some to make ourselves later (they allowed us ot smell the varieties they had and they were all incredible. Also, they apparently try to purchase their teas from woman owned businesses which is just fantastic) In addition there are a couple of rooms with tables, fantastic to sit down and enjoy tea or treats, and apparently they even have a high or afternoon tea that you can sign up for in advance which I will need to do at some point because that sounds so fun. The staff were all so incredibly kind, knowledgeable, and just fun to talk to. Even the owner popped up and told us all about it and was just overall so full of incredible energy. Would highly recommend and will absolutely be returning in the future!
