They offer a wide variety of delicious iced tea and coffee drinks, allowing you to sample a few before making your final choice. It can be tough to decide because all of the options are so tempting! Some of my favorites include the coffee/horchata, mint mocha, and chai (although I need to confirm there is no honey in it next time it's on the menu).

I lost track of time reading a book here for a few hours, and the music selection was perfectly balanced, never overpowering. Every time I find myself in Old Towne Orange, I make it a point to stop by this wonderful shop. It truly is one of the most welcoming places around.
