But the food itself was good. Small assortment of pastries and a small menu, but everything tasted pretty decent. As of November 2024, seems like they're getting ready to close up shop though, and sell everything and move out of state or something. So just a heads up if you want to try it out, do it soon!

The inside of the shop is a bit tight, but there are some seating areas. When we ordered our drinks from a young lady, she did not have the best customer service unfortunately. She was standoffish and a bit rude. Perhaps she expected me to know the menu already, but I was attempting to look through it and ask what some items were. Then the conversation proceeded oddly. I told her I wanted a drink and so she typed in the price. She then cashed it out and gave me a receipt.... when I didnt tell her I was finished. I politely told her my husband wanted something as well and she looked at me irritated because she had to fix the issue. We waited for her to fix it and I told her his drink, and then she rudely asked if that was well. We did order some food as well. So overall, she did not have the best customer service. We sat and decided to eat. She did look at us in a strange way as well. My husband did go back in line to get me a cookie to go. He interacted with a young gentleman and he was much nicer and pleasant. I am not sure why the woman was in a bad mood.

The food and coffee was also very nice. I tried the pita with vegetable spread and a house coffee, which was served with potato chips on the side. The ingredients and flavors were very fresh. The favorite of our party, however, was the red beet burger, which is served on a bagel, and has a hint of nuttiness from pumpkin seeds, served with a side of dill sour cream. This place is definitely worth a stop if you are in downtown Calumet and looking for a lunch, quick snack, or coffee. Their scones also look delicious.

So much potential... But. Food: good, interesting, healthy,…read morebut pricy. Service: more interested in being hip and laid back than in serving. Wifi: said they had it- never got it to work.

Especially when one only ordered a small salad?

In short: great food, great price, and Great service.
