And every type of coffee you could ask for. We had Cinnamon Sugar French Toast and a latte and A Breakfast platter with scrambled eggs, sausage, grits and Sausage and gravy biscuit with Almond Joy Latte. You order at the counter and your food is brought to your table hot and delicious. The ladies working the coffee bar are friendly and patient as you try to order just 1 selection. So many good choices. Seating is open with tables for dining and chairs and couches for sipping a relaxing beverage. There is plenty of street parking spaces out front. While there the daily lunch sandwiches were being posted. Will try lunch tomorrow. I highly recommend.

I figured a coffee shop might serve up better internet anyway, and I wasn't wrong. The morning crew was bustling but friendly, quickly selling me a cup for the self-serve station and pointing me toward the stairs. The ground floor is cozy and compact, but they've got a second level that opens things up nicely. I chose the light roast labeled 'Autumn Honduras,' which turned out to be a fabulous pick ‐ bright, smooth, and just what I needed. I added a modest splash of cream, climbed the stairs, and found a quiet spot to settle in. I spent a solid hour up there, sipping slowly and sketching out the next leg of my journey through the mountains. It's a genuinely comfortable space, with enough warmth and quiet to make a full workday feel entirely doable. You could easily lose track of time here, and I wouldn't blame you one bit.

My all time favorite here...the piled high turkey club on an everything bagel. You can't take small bites on this one. Full of flavor, fresh and delicious. If you have time, make a morning pit stop here. You won't regret it.

We both ate the Tomato Basil soup as an appetizer and loved the larger pieces of tomato. My father ordered the daily special of a French dip with potato salad and I orderd the trout BLT. The French dip and trout BLT were pheomenal. I highly recommend both of them. We also both ate dessert, my father had a creme brulee donut slightly warmed up and I had the raspberry cheesecake - both were excellent. The only area for potential change is the potato salad. It wasn't bad, but not in the top 20 we've eaten. It came across as very bland with no flavor. I'd update the recipe or order a different side. Everythign else was great including the service even when the restaurant was very busy. Top marks!!
