There's seating indoor, upstairs, and outdoors and while there is a lot of seating you gotta scout seating because it fill sup quickly. I had Hommies in a blanket with pork sausage and avocado added. And, honestly it's worth it. Definitely a big boy sandwich. So much that I needed a nap after. The cabot cheddar that they use is phenomenal and really ties the wrap together. The sunrise moon platter is also really good. It has all the breakfast essentials. The home fries are nice and tender. I could snack on them all day. Platter, as a whole, lacked some salt. Pastries are a must too. Don't leave without trying their cider donuts or Cinnamon bread pudding. I, especially, recommend the bread pudding.

The store did not disappoint -- it's a baker's paradise in every sense. Every possible ingredient, tool, pan, piece of equipment, and baking mix you could imagine is here, beautifully displayed and easy to browse. The space is bright, immaculate, and extremely well organized, with helpful staff ready to answer questions or point you toward something new. There's also a demonstration kitchen and a café, which adds even more to the experience. While their website is fantastic (and what we've relied on for years), the in‑person store is absolutely worth the trip. Whether you're an avid baker or looking for the perfect gift for someone who is, this is a destination worth driving for. We're so glad we finally made it -- and we'll be talking about this stop for a long time.

The lattes were pretty standard and the pastries were a bit disappointing. The flavor profile of the focaccia was odd - corn, tomato, and spicy mayo. The croissant was extremely flavored but lacked a butter flavor. The service was quick and plenty of seating. Many small tables would be preferred to the long almost banquet table options.

The egg was premade, the cheese was fine but there were an infinitesimal amount of sausage specks. What was present was tasty but it is a stretch to give it equal billing. In fairness, this place is not about the food but they are locally sourcing excellent products. Please do better. I will come back for the coffee and the great staff but eat elsewhere.

The smoothies are good, but as a broke college student, I don't have the money to be buying smoothies regularly. (I instead find myself here when free food and drinks are involved!) (I do however want to say that my friend Juniper, a trusty employee of this establishment, had invented the Juniper smoothie, and it's pretty good. I'm not sure if it's still on the menu, but if it is, I'd give it a try for the heck of it.) The baristas are typically student workers, and they are some of the friendly faces that you may expect to see on campus. The roster of students working here also always changes as each class graduates or goes abroad every year. As a meeting space, this place is pretty ideal. Plenty of booths to sit and do work at, plenty of tables to do the same, there's even a conference room to host events like dinners or meetings.

I loved all these answers! The back room is where the dining room is has a fireplace and is super rustic haven. Just an amazing impromptu lunch experience! My only complaint was the Thai chicken soup, yuck lol. It was really just warm mush. But other than that I am marking this place on my map of favorite places ever!
