As for my espresso - temped correctly with bright acidity at the front, finishing smooth with notes of tart cherry, dark chocolate and molasses. Will come back to hide in a book or do breathing exercises.

No hellos, no thank yous, no indication our transaction was over. The wait was a little long for a cold brew but it was busy so again, no big deal. But they never called my name for the drink. I had to approach the counter and ask. When I got my drink, it was nearly white. The little coffee flavor in it was bitter and little else. And no vanilla. I virtually never get refunds on food, I used to be in food service for a long time. But this was a big disappointment and I didn't feel like I got what I paid for.

Highly recommend!

We ordered a breakfast sandwich and an everything bagel to eat and a cappuccino and iced lavender latte to drink. The capp and latte were both excellent!

It's pretty small with only outside seating, essentially connected to a little gift/souvenir shop. Most of the tables were taken when we were there, but there were plenty of picnic tables at the part right across the street, so we just took our food there. I got one of their specialty drinks, which was a a matcha with coconut and oat milk. It was great! Matcha quality can vary depending on where you go, but I really enjoyed this. It wasn't too sweet, and the coconut flavor was really nice. I got. Cinnamon bagel with peanut butter for my breakfast, and they certainly did not skimp on the pb! So yummy.

I wish I had known, the only sign saying so is on a 3x5 card hidden near the cash register. No other place, not on the front door or here on Yelp. Would've been nice to know, especially since this seemed to make her more grumpy. So I had to run to the bank and get money. Came back, paid and off we went. The donuts, super fresh and tasty. Great selection, lots of cake donut options too. Just wish the person was friendlier and they'd put a note on the outside of the building or something so a person doesn't look like an arse and make people more grumpy.
