I only wish we had more time in this town, so I could've tried one of everything off the menu! I travel often, so I feel qualified to say this is one of the best coffee shops I've been to.

This little shop is adorable and the staff here has always been extremely sweet and welcoming (as any small town business generally is). There were three young ladies working when we popped in and you could just tell they genuinely loved working there and with each other. The best vibes!! I even said to my husband on our way out, "maybe there's something to be said for small town living like this.. maybe this is what our daughter needs as her childhood and first job." If you're looking for the most delicious bread dip that's citrusy but also a little sweet - you must get the Milanese Gremolata olive oil and pair it with the Lavender balsamic vinegar. I also decided to grab a Pomegranate balsamic vinegar as well because my eye caught it immediately and I think it could be another delicious pairing with the Milanese which leaves that citrusy-lemony flavor on your taste buds. So excited to try it out with some warm French bread!!
