"My first visit... won't be my last...so regarding food, I can only comment on the pumpkin scone and chai tea latte I had, but both of those were the best I've ever had! The atmosphere has it all... plants, art, murals and even (my favorite) a bicycle on the walls. The decor is beautiful and relaxing, including oriental rugs, muted lighting, low tables and all the options for seating - window counters, small regular tables and chairs, straight backed padded (fabric) chairs and a nice selection of leather furniture."

"I stumbled upon this place as I am out of town and needed a place to work for an hour or so. This was such a delightful surprise. The atmosphere and decor was so cool. They had unique specialty drinks and most importantly the 2 gals working today were both so kind. I loved the plants everywhere. I will def. Be back next time I drive down here!"

"This place is such a VIBE! Quirky and cutesy, I loved the antique artifacts that abound, the greenery and the different seating options. The maroon room has an old timey feel stuffed with vinyl records. The place was packed when I went there, and I had to wander around the three different seating rooms for a while before I could find a vacant seat. The staff was friendly and the cranberry - orange scone was delicious. The oat milk decaf latte that I ordered was just average though, which is why I knocked off a point."
