Located in an old home, it is quaint and clean. We ordered a Turkey Sandwich and due to the size, we decided to split the sandwich which was a good decision. We grabbed our sandwich and waters and headed outside to sit at one of the picnic tables as it was a gorgeous and sunny day. The sandwich was delicious. Fresh and flavorful and the bread was soft.

The iced coffee was very good, however it staggers the imagination that they do not have brewed iced tea? What do the the people with diabetes drink. Having said that, I would think they must lose may potential sales dollars to the increasingly growing population segment which has diabetes? As for the service, at times it was exceptional and at times poor. One employee I must single out for recognition is employee Adam Buckles. Adam is an excellent multi-tasker and was always very professional and polite. Kudos to Adam. When I return next year I will surely return to Robins...Maybe by next summer they will have unsweetened iced tea?

Food/drink we got: - cappuccinos: hot, lots of foam, quality espresso! - cranberry scone: awesome flavor, delicate glaze on top. a bit too bready and not crumbly enough for my taste - raspberry pecan bar: rich!! dense, balanced flavors, delicious - cruller: AMAZING! a must try! this is like a cross between a popover, a donut, and an apple fritter. absolutely heavenly I loved sitting in this shop and just enjoying the atmosphere.
