We decided we definitely needed chocolate and were afraid it would be closed later so stepped in to grab some chocolate for after dinner. There were SO many choices! There was all kinds of chocolate, fudge, caramel apples and cookies as well as ice cream. I decided on two milk chocolate sea salt caramels. They were pricey -- $2 each. I ate them after dinner -- probably should have waited for them to warm up after sitting in the cold car but they were still good.

We ordered an ice cream, realized it was cash only, then my husband had to walk a couple blocks to an ATM while only my son had ice cream. Then the rest of us ordered when my husband got back.

I got the coconut refresher, not too sweet and still had caffeine. They have topo Chico, my favorite sparkling water, so they got bonus points for that. They have a pastry window(?) that had a decadent looking, huge, slice of blueberry coffee cake and a cheesecake I would have tried if I was in the mood for sweets. I saw a couple enjoying it and letting the staff know the coffee was delicious. The tables are spacious, there were only around 6 people when I went and the atmosphere made it easy to ignore the other people and write this. But other "strangers" began conversations so it is still inviting. The music is acoustical versions of modern songs. I saw a staff cleaning the counters around the place while I ate so they definitely keep it clean. The gentleman who took my order was friendly and not overbearing. Overall perfect place to sit and read on my break from a gloomy day. Only note would be that I wanted my food for here and they made it to go.

I actually went on two different days, one to get breakfast and coffee and another day just for coffee. Both days the place was slammed, but everyone working was still so pleasant and kind.

They have the most beautiful fruit and vegetables. You can pick your own strawberries or grab a basket of fresh picked strawberries. They have so many other things such as salsas, jams, honey, sourdough bread, flowers and herbs. You will also find a self serve boiled peanut counter with regular and Cajun flavored. One of the most popular things they have is the Dream Whip. It's a sorbet like texture and it comes in numerous flavors with fresh fruit layered inside. I hah the mango peach and it was amazing. There is lots of outdoor seating, a musician stage and playground. Plenty of picnic tables and chairs seating along the river. What a great place to bring the whole family including the fur babies.

We were looking for pet friendly restaurants while visiting on vacation. After walking around the…read moretown and getting hungry, we decided on burgers and fries at this restaurant, plus they had outdoor seating where we could sit with our family and the dog. It was a cold day outside, but we were limited on options where we could sit with the dog. We were the only customers when we came. I went inside to order and was greeted by the friendly woman behind the counter. I was able to pick a simple burger with lettuce, tomato, and onion and fries, a hot dog kids meal for my son, and a cheeseburger with tater tots. It was around $35 for all the food, which seemed like a good deal to me. I was standing waiting for the food, but the woman told me she could bring the food out to us. The food was brought out quickly, and we started eating. The fries and tater tots were hot and crispy, and the burgers were thick . I liked that there wasn't condiments on the burgers, which gave the burgers more flavoring. We were happy with our meals and had a good experience that we recommend to other people.

I can imagine you may need to walk a bit depending on how busy the downtown area is, but that would be true for any business in the area. The ordering counter is right in front as you walk in with all seating on the left. Once you place your order they assign you to a table and will bring out your food when ready. We did not realize we entered 15 minutes before they closed. We were originally going to eat there but when we said we would change our order to to-go, they said it was not necessary and we could eat there. They did take down the outside signs soon after we sat down, but we were not the last person entering to place an order. There were also a few others eating inside, so they were more than accommodating to their customers. The Cuban sandwich and NY-style hot dog came out in about five minutes. The Cuban was a bit on the small side but did have a nice amount of ham. The large amount of pickles drowned out the majority of other flavors but the overall the sandwich was good. The NY-style hot dog was a major disappointment. The hot dog itself seemed to have been sitting in the warmer for quite a while as it looked dehydrated and wrinkly. It was chewy with an almost crispy casing. The hot dog did fit the bun but was overwhelmed by the sauerkraut and mustard. Unfortunately, the quality of the food did not live up to the friendliness and accommodation of the staff.
