Next, the coffee was mid at best. I went trying to order a limeade drink but didn't realize that it was actually limeade mixed in a pour-over coffee?? How strange is that? I still drank my coffee and to be honest, it tasted no better than the free coffee you would get at a hotel or work conference. Maybe I just got the wrong thing but this was my unfortunate experience. Would be willing to try again but would definitely think twice knowing it's gonna cost $50 for two people. In my opinion, this place is not worth the price tag for a simple local coffee shop.

Plus you can't forget the giant wooden wheel. The staff was helpful in helping me decide as there was so many homemade flavors I had a hard time deciding. They explained a short backstory about the products, which is they are all made in house. I went with the 2 scoop Huckleberry and butter pecan. The sundae is huge. They really know how to make a sundae. Strawberry topping, whipped cream, sprinkles, nuts, and the cherry on top. I went with my standby of butter pecan, but I'm now wanting to try some other flavors. Cons: There really is no cons. There can't be with a friendly welcoming atmosphere. So no cons. Recommended? Yes. If your visiting St. Francis and want a retreat, go here. Or if someone got out and you want to celebrate, this is your place. Otherwise just make a trip here. I know I'll be back.
