I got the iced latte with brown sugar cinnamon, and my girlfriend got the iced chai latte. Both of the drinks were delicious. I would say it was one of the best chais I've had so far. The service was very quick and our barista was very nice even told us about some of the decorations on the wall. The pricing was very reasonable as well. We had a great experience.

The coffee menu is robust and brew anything from drip coffee to a vanilla latte. Within minutes, my large vanilla latte was handed to me in a colorful branded to-go cup. The vanilla notes shined through the dark coffee roast. It was a good pick-me-up to start the day exploring this small Maryland town.

It was busy but not in a bad way. I ordered food to go but ended up sitting down to eat it because there was tons of seating available. Great spot for a family to have breakfast or a group of friends. Very accommodating for all ages! My breakfast wrap was incredible! And the coffee was amazing! If I visit st. Michael's again, I'll definitely be making a trip back there.

We ordered a latte with oat milk and an iced coffee, and both were just 'okay' - it could have been more strong, and the latte was asked to be 'extra hot', which came out room temperature. Staff could be a bit more friendlier; also, the drinks just take way too long to prepare, even with 3+ staff on shift. There's a good amount of seating, but the surfaces and the furniture needs to be wiped down. I recommend in avoiding using the restroom. A plus was their funny fruit figurines that they had for decor. +unfriendly staff +long wait time for drinks +unkept tables

Once you step through the doors there's an extensive amount of balsamic vinegars and olive oils for you to sample.

The quality of these foods is quite high and I'd definitely recommend you pop in for a peek!

The atmosphere was great and the drinks were excellent. They make a really good Bloody Mary, and overall the bar side of things was a highlight. For food, we split a sandwich, an appetizer, and a salad. The sandwich was very good, but the rest of the food was just okay. The Caesar salad didn't seem fully tossed, and the pretzel with crab felt like it may have been microwaved. It wasn't bad, just not on the same level as the drinks and atmosphere. Overall it was a nice stop and we enjoyed ourselves. We'd definitely go back for drinks and the atmosphere.
