Once on pays you are given a number and food or special beverages make the way to your table. We enjoyed the French dip with delicious roast beef, caramelized onion, melted cheese and au jus. My partner had the roasted veggie melt. We ate half and saved the rest for dinner. Outdoor seating is our preference especially under the magnolia tree but we settled for upstairs in the covered area. It was quiet and other diners appeared happy with their food. Afterwards did some shopping in the adjacent connected store which has a lovely collection of items for sale including a generous children's section.

A great display of baked pastries to look over while I waited in the short queue before ordering my latte in a "here" cup. It did not take more than a couple of minutes before it was called out and I picked it up. Simply delicious and creamy and a real delight. There's nothing wrong with sitting here for a bit and I did so, checking on my route to the next stop on the speedy wifi and enjoying my excellent coffee. Five stars for Openroad. Awesomeness.

The first thing I saw in front of this business was a Puppy Pit stop bowl of water, and I was instantly glad we stopped. What a small yet immensely thoughtful gesture! Now, on to the drinks! My husband ordered a mint frappee and I ordered an iced coffee with cream and toffee syrup. The owner and employee were so friendly and we had great conversation for about 10 minutes. The drinks were both beautiful and delicious. The river runs right behind the coffee shop and we walked down to enjoy the view with our coffee. It was a great experience. Rating from F to A +++, It gets an A+++.

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.

The people were kind and while you wait for your order to be made you can browse the shop attached to the cafe. From handmade blankets to walking sticks to lotions to classic Coca Cola bottles, you never know what you'll run into. All in all, highly recommend checking them out and I'm eager to make a trip back to see them again.
