Kathy, Bruce, and Curt, they take care of you and learn your name. It's like Cheers was back in the day, but the food and coffee are probably much better. I love coming here every day for my coffee and a sandwich or salad. And I like all of the people that frequent it, too.

During lunch break from having to serve jury duty I found this coffee shop down the street and decided to pop in. The two behind the counter were very friendly and inviting, and the special grilled cheese with tomato or bacon with soup was PERFECT . The chicken corn chowder came out piping hot and didn't even need any salt or pepper. I'm usually skeptical when someone has to make my coffee instead of me doing it, but unlike dunkin donuts the gentleman made it just right! they seem to have a familiar and friendly customer fan base, and I would definitely go back
