I was meeting a friend for a play date and randomly selected it for a midpoint in Crystal River…read more And what an absolute gem it is, especially for groups and families. Plenty of parking on the strip and when we walked inside, we were delighted to find a warm, cozy environment with a kid's play corner full of vintage toys. Totally forgot what I ordered to drink, but it was good! I do wish they had more food options as the bakery items are a little pricey for what they are and the fridge items are more protein/chia seed pudding based stuff. Luckily I was able to get a bagel for the kids to munch on. The peanut butter scone was quite dry and I felt too expensive for what it was. What I really loved was the area in the back which seemed to go on forever. The spacious room in the rear feels reminiscent of an uncle's garage filled with comfy couches and game boards. It's a wonderful "third space" and area for the community to really gather. I would love to see more shops going this route all over the place! Very friendly staff!

I had a very disappointing experience at Cattle Dog Coffee Roasters and won't be returning…read more We ordered coffee and scones first. Unfortunately, the coffee was bitter and unpleasant, and the scone was incredibly dry and almost completely flavorless. That alone was disappointing. The bigger issue was the customer service. When I walked back into the building, it was 11:29 all I wanted was to order one of the pre-made breakfast bagels, it had just turned 11:30. Even though the bagel was already made and sitting there, I was told they wouldn't serve me because breakfast had ended. There was absolutely no flexibility, despite the fact that I had been at the counter just moments before. As I was leaving, frustrated, I said, "Thanks for nothing." Another employee asked what was wrong, so I explained the situation. She then said she could give me the bagel after all, but immediately followed it by saying there was "no need for the comment." By that point, the damage had already been done. Instead of acknowledging why I was upset or apologizing for the situation, I was made to feel like I was the problem. Between the poor-quality coffee, the dry and flavorless scone, and the rigid, unfriendly customer service, this was one of the worst coffee shop experiences I've had. There are plenty of places that value both good food and good customer service. I would recommend spending your money elsewhere

The potato soup was absolutely delicious--rich, flavorful, and comforting. I also had a BLT on a croissant, which was fresh and very tasty. Of course, we couldn't leave without trying dessert. The pumpkin crunch cake was excellent, and the hummingbird cake was pretty good as well. Their coffee was smooth and paired perfectly with our desserts. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, making the experience even more enjoyable. As a bonus, they also have a cute gift shop that's worth browsing while you're there. If you're looking for a cozy spot with good food, desserts, and great service, this little bistro is definitely worth a visit!

I had the French Connection, flavor was good, enhanced by the horseradish sauce and au jus. The only thing that would have made it better is arugula, but then, I love arugula on a sandwich. My friend had the quiche plate with fruit that she said was good. We split a lemon cookie at the end, it was very good. The only thing negative I'd add is the portions were on the small side for the price, but quality was good. Our server Addison was exceptional! On a past visit I had one of their truffles....all I can say is get one, delicious!

I thought the prices were all over the place-some too high (charcuterie for 1 is $27) and some are too low (Diet Coke is $1.50). I ordered a charcuterie cup and perfect pasta salad-both were okay. My friends ordered sandwiches and pasta salad along with scones. They were all disappointed with the scones (which were not on the menu, they had to ask if they could order them ala carte). Not that they had to be homemade but they were definitely not fresh. Don't know if I'd try it again. Wish I could have left a more positive review.
