However, had I gone in the opposite direction, I would have found it easily. The cafe was open and airy. It seemed like a great place to work for a bit or meet up with friends. I got a matcha, cookie, and an oat bar and they were all very good. There was only person working and she handled the crowd well while keeping a pleasant attitude. I highly recommend.

We made a mental note to stop here again the next time we're in this area.

I've stopped in here for lunch on several occasions and find the food to be delicious and healthy…read more There's always something new on the menu and what I like best is that the desserts are often created by the adults who participate in this outstanding program directed by Wellspring. Darwin's chocolate mousse a few months ago was an impressive dessert! It appears everyone is very well trained before they step out into the "front of the house." I've never had any issues with the food or the service. This café is nestled among the shops in the Emporium which makes it a fantastic location! If you find yourself in Castlerock and would like to be pampered by some very dedicated and kind folks... Stop in to the best buddies café! They also have fantastic dog treats!

The bacon crispy, hash brown great, pancakes soft, eggs just right. The only weird part is that they don't let you take in your own water bottle inside the business.

Second time to this location. We showed up on a Saturday morning and were seated immediately…read more Coffee is strong and good. I again went with the Greek omelette, which was filling and delicious. Hash browns were kind of cold and a little bland to me this time, but my wife liked hers. Biscuit is yummy. My wife had a build your own omelette. They forgot the avocado at first but then remembered as she was asking for it. My daughter had the Denver omelette with toast and fruit. Service was fine for the most part. Good food at reasonable prices.

I always enjoy a visit to Teaology, so I had to update my review to note they are still killing it!…read moreA home run every time. Tea lattes and matcha, both hot and cold options. My personal fave and rec: Oh Canada - hot! (Cold is ok, but hot is superior! I can really taste the blueberry more) but everything is wonderful! Try some of their baked goods or their lunches. Very reasonable prices. They also sell their teas by the bag!! The staff is ALWAYS incredibly welcoming and kind. It's not crowded, though it sits so conveniently in Castle Rock's downtown. There's outdoor and indoor seating, and even a little event venue you can rent! Steampunk decor is very fun and unique. Everything is always spotless clean. Overall, 100/10 - would highly recommend, even if you're not a tea connoisseur! I will definitely return.

STAR #1: Location is prime, parking is decent and the space itself is cool. Seating is both indoor and outdoor (via huge tent) and vibes are on point. Decked out in a steampunk theme, the space screams cool, interesting, and is a talking piece in itself. So fun! STAR #2: Inventory is insane, ample and so fun to seek out, smell and sample! Upon entry, is a welcoming shelf filled with different teas! We sniffed our way through, asking questions to the staff and they were so welcoming and friendly! STAR #3: The drink menu is fun - allowing for all kinds of hot and iced beverages and unique! My husband opted for a hot orange tea - with just the right amount of sweetness. I landed on an iced peach tea latte, with fresh peach puree and YUM! so refreshing and delicious! STAR #4: Prices are on point for the quality and quantity! Locally made items are for sale and definitely a fun way to shop local! I know we'll return!

Walking downtown to see all the pretty Christmas decorations and thought we'd stop in for a warm drink. The young server took our order, we paid, and left the restaurant. Happy that there is a great coffee shop close to downtown and shopping. I ordered an Americano with room for cream which was about $4 and the girls each ordered Hot Chocolate. They asked for a sweet treat but on this day we didn't get one because we would be having brunch in less than an hour.
