Wanted to give a small business a try in Petersburg and stopped in for a quick pick-me-up. Upon…read moreentering I wasn't greeted and both Baristas were on their phones. I ordered a small, iced vanilla latte with whole milk (my go-to at a new spot, easy enough). I noticed that the espresso machine was filthy (there were only two patrons inside and both had received their orders) and the whole station was unclean with grounds everywhere and tampers still full of used espresso. My latte was truly undrinkable. It was truly putrid. The drink was bitter and sour at the same time and had such a burnt flavor that after two sips I couldn't even finish it. I'm always happy to "doctor my drinks" up in these instances (add milk, request something else) but as a former barista myself I knew this was an espresso issue, not a milk or syrup issue. Both baristas went back to texting and I left uncaffinated, disheartened and my drink went right in the trash. With other coffee spots nearby they really need to step their game up. I could have gotten a better latte (and probably better service) at Dunkin.

Such a cute little café. The vibes were really good in here. They were playing music, but it wasn't…read moreanything too loud or hype...more mellow R&B, jazz type of vibe. I also noticed there looked like there was a small stage area, so I'm guessing they might do live music, poetry nights, or something like that. I'm not totally sure, but they definitely seem like they could have events there. I kept it pretty simple food-wise with a cream cheese bagel and a latte. I would definitely come back and sit for a while and see what they have going on.

I have been here many times over the years and I am pretty sure this is the first time I've…read morecompleted a review. Let me say that with all these visits over maybe 10 years, we've never had a bad meal. The place shows its age but always seems clean. The staff seem to clean up quickly behind each customer. As for today's meal and service. The wifey had the French Toast with a side of sausage and we'd say this I about the best flavor French Toast around. The sausage also has a very good flavor. As for me, something told me to get the Open Face Turkey. It also was good. Had a decent flavor but wasn't exactly outstanding. But again a nice meal. First time I've had this here and if I had a craving, id get again. I still think my favorite is the French Toast or in the past I've had Chip Beef and I think Biscuits and Gravy. I assume they still sell those but the turkey was calling to me. As for the staff: always very friendly and today was no different. In the past, this place was a cash-only place but I noticed today they took cards. Not sure what cards or if there is a charge for using a card like many places now. But I was prepared for cash and paid by cash with a cash tip, which I nearly always do when dining out. As for my review. I gave this a 4-star but I would have given a 4 1/2 star if that was an option. So stop in and have a nice meal.

I am…read morecompletely new to Petersburg and on my first visit I felt welcome and was treated with the same friendliness and warmth as the regulars. People of all ages, colors, and vibes eat there and everyone is cool with one another. Many stop in for takeout. Many pop in to order and wait outside. I personally like the omelettes and I like that they use fresh, not canned, mushrooms. The cheese is your standard American cheese singles--obviously as far away from gourmet as you can get but it's good nonetheless. You know the food is prepared and served by hard working local people. Definitely get here before the church crowd or wait until they leave. Breakfast is served all day. The chocolate cake looks pretty good too!

The shop was spotless, the décor was fun, and I have to mention the ice cream cone door handle because it was such a unique little detail. I tried the blueberry and goat cheese ice creams, and both were delicious. They have a great selection of unique flavors, plus a coffee menu. Two scoops came to almost $8. But considering the quality and creativity of the flavors, it felt worth it. Definitely a fun spot in Petersburg that I'd visit again.

They have the option to get a full single scoop or a baby scoop which is nice for trying multiple flavors. I indulged in the rosemary, fig jam and shortbread flavor with an additional scoop of the cranberry miso and ginger. Both were phenomenal but the rosemary ice cream stole the show for me. Incredibly creamy infused with homegrown rosemary from their garden and locally sourced figs! This place is truly a gem and the workers all seem very passionate about their product. Excited to come back for the coffee next!

We met the owner's mom who said that the owner is 12 years old & they bought the shop in September 2025. They plan to have a ribbon cutting ceremony in June 2026. It was a great conversation & I was excited to learn about this black-owned business. She still has Hershey ice cream flavors & great deals. She allowed my teen to have a million samples until he finally made up his mind. Very patient and accommodating to him. They also have 2 ice cream food trucks for rent. I'm very excited to have come here! I absolutely support and recommend this ice cream shop!!!
