"My wife and I popped in for a mid morning treat. The parking is free and plentiful, atmosphere is good, the food is good, the staff and friendly, but the service isn’t very fast and they need to do something about cleaning up tables between customers. It could have been that they were sort staffed on that morning so we’ll have to try again another day. Overall, I’d recommend popping in, just take a pack of wet wipes with you in case you need to do a little cleaning."

"Great ambience I appreciate the woman named ava served me a nice Espresso Machiatto, for a barista in training she works like a PRO! I would only return for her service. Thank you AVA! The other service people should work on their volumes! I heard screaming and its quite uncomfortable."
