She went through each coffee listed under the "Originals" and told me what each contained. She also gave me a punch card. I ordered the mocha orange ovation, which was very good! It tasted like a chocolate orange and had sea salt sprinkled on top. When sipping my coffee, I went upstairs where there's lots of tables and couches to sit and relax. Or work on your computer. Soothing music was being played.

The Coffee Has Potential. The Attitude Does Not…read more Let me set the scene: I walked in happy, wallet open, ready to support local. Bought a latte and three greeting cards. Three. GREETING. CARDS. You know, the things you buy when you care about people? The irony was lost on whoever was behind the counter. No "thank you." No smile. Just a full serving of stanky attitude with a side of complete indifference -- and I didn't even order that. They've got 444 on the door. Angel numbers. Protection energy. Good vibes literally bolted to the building. And somehow none of it made it past the front entrance. I've given this place multiple chances because I believe in supporting local businesses. This is me believing in something for the last time. To the owner: I genuinely hope you're not the person I keep encountering behind the register. If you are -- bless your heart. If you're not -- you may want to pop in unannounced one day. Bring a secret shopper. Bring a therapist. Bring snacks. Whatever it takes. The latte was fine. The cards were cute. The experience? Starbucks doesn't have angel numbers on the door, but at least they say thank you. I'm out. Peace.

All in all a fantastic choice of stop on our way to our destination. We got a lot of steps in, and were able to stretch our legs, enjoying the area. Highly recommend!

Went for dinner on 2/13 thinking we would not have the rush for Valentines Day. That plan was good…read more We made a reservation but when we arrived the bar had open seats so we sat there. I ordered the White Fish dish and my wife had Tortellini with vodka sauce with added sausage crumbles. Both dishes were incredible and I'd strongly recommend. Now for the downside and the reason for only rating 4 stars. Prior to dinner we split a Zsa Zsa Salad. The menu describes this as having poached shrimp, asparagus bits, bacon, avocado, tomato with a Balsamic Vinaigrette. For some reason the shrimp decided to leave the plate before we got it. Without the shrimp, the salad was boring and pretty much flavorless. We would have liked it better had they used Romaine rather then the foliage we all used to discard before serving. We asked the Bartender about the missing shrimp and she put in an order for a side of shrimp. The side arrived after we had pretty much finished with the salad. Not complaining because we ate the shrimp as it was the best part. The surprise came when we received the bill which contained the $19.00 charge for the salad as well as a $10.00 charge for the side of shrimp. I pointed that out and it was promptly removed. In summary, I'd suggest a hard pass on this menu item. Not to leave this review on a sour note, we love Cafe Farina and as previously mentioned the entrees were both fantastic. As a side note, we tried their privately labeled Farina Valpolicella Red. Moderately priced and well worth it's $56.00 price. We will order that again.
