This is a great coffee shop! With tasty coffee!…read more If what you're looking for is a place to have a meeting and drink coffee, then come here. The place is quiet, has tables, chairs, nooks, Wi-Fi, East-facing windows, and ample parking. But If you're looking to have a sit down breakfast, not-so-much. You can order food and it's designed as grab-and-go. They do most all the hot food on their panini press. This all seemed surprising based on the size of the space I was standing in. I had the sausage, egg and cheese burrito which was hot, cheesy and had sausage and egg in it. My husband had the Ham and Swiss panini which was hot, had lines in it, with ham and swiss cheese and even some mustard to give it a little kick! The gentleman at the counter was very polite and nice. Support this small business! Buy coffee here -- they make good coffee!

Nice selection of baked goods available in their counter case. Plenty of chairs and tables inside and out. It is a little loud due to having all hard surfaces and not many soft surfaces indoors.

It seems like they would benefit from an "order to table" type system so they don't have to keep coming outside to check (not that it bothers me at all, just felt bad having them need to do it). Beer list is big and expansive and also very straightforward. I appreciated the thorough tasting notes. They do also have food (small bites mainly like cheese and charcuterie) but they're super chill about you bringing stuff in which is nice. We picked up Gus's right down the street. I loved the beer and the service was excellent. They're super helpful and kind people. The space is beautiful too. I wasn't surprised to see that they do weddings.

Their German-style beers are unique and thoughtfully crafted, offering something different from the typical brewery lineup. You can tell they put a lot of care into brewing historic and traditional beer styles. My only wish is that they offered a few more non-alcoholic beverage options and some food. Having those available would make it easier to stay longer and accommodate a wider variety of guests. Even so, it's a great spot for beer lovers looking for a distinctive brewery experience.
