Delicious paninis are served at this restaurant and they also have an outdoor area with misters and water bowls for your pet. The dessert waffle was especially delicious, topped with fresh fruit and cream, so much so that syrup was not even needed. Conveniently located just off the main street, there is parking available in the back.

The food is great, but it?s the staff who are truly wonderful. We only ordered a sandwich, and the server brought out an extra bowl of strawberries for my toddler. I?ve also seen them feed unhoused people with dignity and no questions asked. Truly awonderful local business.

I didn't have high expectations, but I was pleasantly surprised by the breakfast panini sandwich—it was fantastic! It had just the right amount of cheese and some delicious ham. The cappuccino was almost perfect, though it lacked micro-foamed milk, which definitely requires a bit of practice to master. Overall, I’ll definitely make it a point to visit this place whenever I'm in town.

After a hectic morning, I was looking for a place to relax and read, and I discovered this lovely restaurant right next to Spellbinder bookstore. I decided to try their breakfast waffle sandwich, along with a cup of coffee, and both were absolutely delightful. The staff was extremely friendly and even provided free coffee refills, which is a wonderful bonus. I ended up spending hours reading in a peaceful atmosphere and would definitely return. What a true hidden gem!

This wonderful local gem is tucked away at the back of a charming bookstore. Their mochas are outstanding, bursting with delightful flavor, and they even allow you to customize the temperature. They're also very accommodating when it comes to using reusable cups. In my view, their coffee is miles ahead of the quality offered by Schat's Bakery.
