She was amazingly friendly, very knowledgeable about her Craft and how she really explained how she started the coffee shop.. I was so abundantly happy with the ambience it really resembled a coffee shop that I would go to. I enjoyed my green eye with a lot of people don't know where the green eye is it six shots espresso and a regular cup of coffee. I recommend this to anybody, who wants to get caffeinated and wants to have a overdose of caffeine. So for myself, being a barista was a barista this place makes me feel at home, knowing that I can get exact good great coffee from a local coffee shop.

Today, I drove up to TR specifically to get a 5 pound bag of Farmhouse Roast. I approach the barista and requested a 5 pound bag of Farmhouse Roast. It was at that time that she stated that there would be no one there that could fill this order until after 10 o'clock. Over an hour later. I looked behind me and saw a full shelf of 12 ounce bags of Farmhouse Roast. It's truly baffling to me that a barista can't walk into the back and fill a bulk bag with beans, or critically think enough to figure out a resolve for this situation. Needless to say, I walked out and went to another local roaster to get what I needed. Unfortunately, I can't support a business that can't have staff on hand that can do something as basic as putting 5 pounds of beans in a bag.

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.

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.

So I never have felt the need to leave reviews (unless positive), but I'm starting to think our…read moregeneration is getting too comfortable just being rude to each other for no reason and it's time to take some accountability. I'm saying this as a young adult who has been in the work force for over a decade now. I get having bad days, and maybe the girl I interacted with was having one, but I never think it justifies being mean to a customer. I came in for the first time in a while, excited to see what fun drinks they had since that's something I credit them with. As soon as I walked up to the counter, I was met with a disinterested and bothered barista. I asked for a moment to look at the menu, and she just walked away in that same bothered way. No words. Just silent annoyance. Once i knew what I wanted, she acted annoyed that I was ready already. So I quickly gave her my order, feeling bad for bothering her. She was short with me and then at the end of the interaction, she pointed to the pay pad (still annoyed) and said "There's your total". And then that was that. I always tip. I was a barista for years and know how helpful they can be...but I was faced with the question: "Should I really tip someone for making anyone feel like an annoyance for walking into their shop? Would that be helpful or would it be enabling this behavior?" For the first time, I didn't tip, and I honestly felt bad about it, but her behavior was WILD. Her coworker seemed to feel the need to intercede for the girl, and she was very kind . Bottom line is this, you can have the best atmosphere, drink, food etc., but the deciding factor of whether my family will be a regular customer is how we're interacted with.
