My Portobello Panini was loaded with mushrooms and red peppers on delicious sourdough bread. The potato salad was very creamy and was one of the side options. Very family friendly as you can purchase and paint items. There are adult and children's books available too. Restaurant is very clean, tables are bussed.

It ended up costing over $40 for two people + a tip, which may have been a sit down restaurant at that point. A little pricey for a coffee shop (at least the food portion). Service was quick though and the workers were friendly. There's also plenty of seating and an open atmosphere! Maybe it was just what I ordered (The Sequel), that left me unimpressed. It tasted alright, but I couldn't tell whether the top layer was the cheese, egg, or both, lol. It was very difficult to eat without making a mess. I don't know that it was worth $12. The coffee was decent too, but nothing extraordinary. Maybe next time I'll have to try a Crepe! I did think the interior was cool though, seeing that it used to be a bank.

What a fun experience. Everything from ordering at the bus to their heated porch. The coffee was so…read moretasty with unique options and the crepes... yum! Unexpected flavors made this meal. Service was friendly and super fast.

Everything was delicious but the tiramisu and green club were the best in my opinion! The iced horchata coffee wasn't my favorite, but that's just a matter of personal taste, not necessarily cause it was poor quality! They've got both indoor and outdoor seating which was nice. The only significant downside to this place, is that the parking is atrocious ( also our fault for coming on a Sunday right after church). With that being said, still worth coming to again!

I had a lovely afternoon tea at The Book & Bee last year (2025), so I would give this place four to…read morefive stars for that experience alone. I tried to go back this year, and am so appalled by the customer service (or lack thereof) that I will now give it 0 stars, so settled for two since I can't do two and a half. Yes, the food and ambiance were wonderful in 2025. I tried to book another afternoon tea party and called a month and a half in advance. This was to celebrate multiple birthdays with a group of busy moms so wanted to get it on the calendar. No one called me back despite the voicemail saying that we would hear back "promptly." I left two more messages in a span of two, three weeks and still nothing. I even emailed, no response. Finally, a friend stopped by in person and was told that the cafe would be short staffed the weekend we wanted the reservation for so the manager needs to see if there are enough people working before confirming. Okay....but why wouldn't you call back to tell me that? Our requested reservation is tomorrow and I still have not heard back from anyone. This is abysmal customer service. As mentioned, food was good but not good enough to treat potential customers like this. Hard pass from now on and will not go back or recommend. *Editing to respond to Victoria -- those were the dates I called and left voicemails. Perhaps there was a phone issue on your end, but I did not even get a missed call. My friend who stopped by in person spoke to a manager. She had to go by twice due to the manager not being available the first time. I also did not get an email response.

I came here to say with my sister because we grew up with a tea cafe and missed the aesthetic and…read morewow was I SHOCKED in the best possible way. Not only was the decor and aesthetic inviting and so detailed but the food was delicious and the service amazing (Jade). We went all out with cauliflower bisque, two different teas and scones (The Hobbit and The Highlander teas), a blueberry cobbler cheesecake and a limoncello. Every part of the meal was delicious. We absolutely will be back and can't wait to try the other teas. We also were able to take the leftovers for our tea pots and this makes me so excited! So many great bookish references -- it made my nerd heart happy

There are couches, picnic tables, regular tables, meeting sized tables, bar top tables etc... They have floor to ceiling windows and tons of real plants. The coffee is always beautifully made and they have fresh pastries on hand. I think weekends are the only time they serve real food, but the food is amazing! Best Shakshuka I have ever had. The coffees come out quickly and you self bus your table. Plenty of parking, as it is found in the old Taylor's mill. If I could change two things it would be that they served food every day (not just weekends) and they stayed open till 5pm!

They make restaurant food look like a joke to those who eat clean and healthy. They sell local, organic produce and their pre-made ready to bake meals are next to none regarding quality and clean ingredients. Their garlic bread is also amazing and doesn't have any nasty seed oils in it. If you eat clean and are sick of all the poison in most grocery chains, you will LOVE this place! Pricing is fairly reasonable too.
