While not the quickest way to grab and go, I enjoyed the custom pour over device they had made for the shop once your coffee was dripping, it's up to you to grab it when it's done. Oh, and keep your eye on it as it'll keep dripping and overflow. ; Many beans to choose from I went with the house roast which was medium bodied, slightly nutty, and just the right boost of caffeine for the morning.

The owners are as friendly as they come. The coffee was fresh, delicious, and came in a nice big mug. The décor was immediately inviting. I loved the fireplace! My wife and I also had breakfast here. The breakfast sandwich and burrito come with your choice of 4 different meats. I had the breakfast burrito with sausage and was satisfied. The salsa was flavorful and paired superbly with my meal. The only downside is that I do not live in the area, otherwise I would be back every day!

I have been in on several occasions and each time the female owner barks or speaks rudely to her employees. Today across the dinning are she yell at an employee to get off her clock. I just hope that she values her team members because they do a great job, and I 'd hate to see the place burn through even more employees.

Or, do what I do and camp out all day while studying. There is a fireplace in the back room and booths in the front room. Pour over coffee, espresso drinks, and smoothies are available. I love the Ultimate BLT, almost all of their soups, and the southwestern salad. Honestly, I haven't had a thing I didn't like. Don't let the strip mall fool you, this is a true coffeeshop.

This is a lovely neighborhood spot that is on my must visit list whenever I come to town to visit my sister from the east coast. I love sitting near the fireplace and enjoying the food and the company. This trip we also stayed a little longer and enjoyed a friendly game of scrabble while catching up with friends at one of the large tables that was made for gaming.
