Excellent service. The employees were patient with me at the counter, as I asked about the different flavors they offered. They customized the drinks I ordered exactly as I requested. Such a cute place!
Adorable book and coffee shop in one. Coffees were delish, I had an iced white chocolate mocha and then an iced seasonal fall one, both were very good. I found a book that interests me so purchased it and sat down to enjoy my coffee with it. Only thing I would change here is would be nice if a kitchen was attached and they could serve made to order items. I went early on a Saturday in hopes of a nice breakfast sandwich to go along with my coffee, but all I saw were prepackaged items. I ended up getting a chicken salad sandwich and chips which was good, just not what I would have chosen for breakfast lol
I was able to visit this location today to work remotely. I shortly realized that I left my computer charger at home. I asked staff that's listed. Did they have a charger that is not the normal store services but they found me a charger and allowed me to use it Maddy, AJ, Maggy, and Thomas we're very helpful to me and I really appreciate it them for assisting me with services that the cafe does not usually offer. It actually saved my work day and a trip 40 minutes away to my home. Thank you so much! Oh and my mocha chocolate drink was also very good. Chocolate drink is also very good.
I absolutely adore this place! The coffee is great, the vibe excellent. They have a wonderful selection of books and a place to donate ones you no longer need to make space for the ones you're going to buy if you're anything like me. Even better that proceeds benefit Habitat for Humanity and they're attached to the store for them, which also has a lot of cool stuff! Highly recommend this spot, and I'm all too happy to sit up in the loft and read my purchases, but would also be a great place to study if coffee needs to be handy. Do read Julia's story if you go in as well, it's amazing. Staff was friendly and helpful, prices are reasonable, and I plan to be here often!
What a great find! The atmosphere is calm, relaxing and welcoming! You can’t beat grabbing a coffee and searching for books at the same time (and for a great cause). Amanda is a gem! I can’t wait to go back!
