We did not end up eating here, because there is no place to park a pontoon that we could see. I gave a 3 star because I don't want to drag down the overall rating because their food might be great, but I wanted to warn others thinking about coming by boat, that you can park a speed boat here, but not a pontoon. Maybe next time, we will drive there and try their tiple berry pancakes!

This place is just horrible!! That's actually an understatement!! A " CHRISTIAN" coffee house…read morewhich proudly displays they are open 7 days a week! Makes you wonder how they justify this in their Christian minds! The coffee is mediocre at best and the sandwich's were just palatable. ( to keep from starving ) the poor little girls working seemed over stressed. I will skip this place next trip to SML no matter if I need to starve! or do without coffee!!

First let's start off with the parking, parking is so tight here and hard to find. I was lucky when…read moreI arrived that someone was leaving out of a parking space. There is a business next door but they have strict signs up that for state no parking for "the pod" only their business. Which is understandable. Once entering I was greeted promptly by a smiling male employee. He was super friendly, made me feel welcomed, it definitely made me feel that I was valued as a customer. Thank you young man! The inside is beautifully decorated, they have a variety of things for purchase also. It's so clean, super DOOPER clean!! The restroom is so clean also. The menu is not overwhelming which is good. Enough variety to please anyone. I ended up getting the chicken and gnocchi soup, homemade pimento cheese sandwich. The soup was the bomb, very chunky, carrots, celery, plenty of gnocchi, the chicken seemed grilled and it was a good amount of it. The pimento cheese sandwich was very good, very stout sharp cheese flavor, it's pretty strong, with lots of flavor. I got the bread toasted which is so good, try it. I did try a speciality coffee, Cupid Kiss, it has notes of white chocolate and raspberries. This combination is so yummy together. It was definitely awesome! They do have oak milk, which I prefer. Highly recommend this business keeping this as a routine on their menu. They do have a variety of pastries and other sweets if you would like to give them a try. They looked super yummy! I was full so no room for any sweets. I would definitely, highly recommend , you better stop in and give this place a try!!! You will not be disappointed!!!! Service is off the charts!!!! Food is off the charts!!! Coffee is off the charts!!
