  • Great ambience. This is a great place to work or visit with friends. There is also a nice variety of seating. Prices are reasonable. The scone I had was delicious. The brewed coffee was a little on the bitter side--good as long as it had food to go with it.

  • What a unique cafe experience. I loved it! It was a live music night celebrating the Irish, and though I didn't try any of the beverages, their flatbreads are divine. They have a free water station, loads of diverse seating (from traditional tables and chairs, bar stools, and even sofa with coffee tables complete with books), and tons of local artist and craft made goods for sale. This is definitely a hidden gem off the beaten trail I never knew of but will definitely be going back and taking friends with me.

  • Really cute place! Lovely atmosphere, lots of seating, great coffee and a good sandwich with gluten-free bun. Met a friend here and we had two leisurely hours of great conversation - no problem hearing each other. If I lived around here, I would frequent this place! My friend does!! They have music regularly and had someone selling and making handcrafted ornaments. Clean bathrooms, plenty of parking, lots of local artists work available on site. I loved it and would definitely come again!!

  • Delicious chili, delicious iced lattes. Tried both the vanilla mint iced latte, and the salted caramel iced lattes. Super yummy! Service is really nice, and was especially good the first time I was here — although I did not catch the baristas name, he was very informative and kind :) As a studying space, I would highly recommend with a lot of comfy seating and space. Since it is such a vast space you may have trouble finding an open outlet if needed. My friend was not a fan of the iced matcha latte, but this could be personal preference, as she said it did not taste strong enough. Love all the art sold, and the magnet wall! This is a space for creatives

  • A very cozy comfortable and friendly atmosphere with musical performances and fabulous drinks!! The chocolate espresso is absolutely delicious! The warm artichoke-spinach dip & chips are the best!!

  • Absolutely delicious and unique fare! The pumpkin/apple/bacon soup is over the top delish!! Love the atmosphere and goods made by local artists.

  • Quaint little coffee shop that serves beer on tap and wine or cocktails in the evening. Special shout out to the live jazz bash that ran from 1 - 9:30pm. With limited live jazz in GR.... This is a big win for those seeking it! Lovely flat bread and nachos to boot!

  • The atmosphere is fantastic—warm, welcoming, and intentionally designed. Even though it's usually buzzing with activity, the staff is always friendly and keeps things moving smoothly. ​I’ve visited for both coffee dates and full meals, and the quality is consistent across the board. Their drink menu is impressively vast; beyond the standard caffeine, they offer local kombucha on tap (which tastes incredibly fresh) and surprisingly, I noticed today, a solid selection of alcoholic beverages. While I haven’t made it to an evening show yet, I’ve heard their live music events on the main stage are a must-see, though they do get quite crowded! Whether you’re looking to work, eat, or catch a performance, I highly recommend checking them out.
