Amazing craft coffee shop that is also a event venue if someone wants to reserve it . They have lots of goods, seasoning and things they make and sell! Cool place to hang and they have a walk up window too outside!

Today was my first day trying thus adorable bistro. I got an amazing oatmilk latte and a salad. I loved them both so much. I also overheard one of the sweet workers talking about how she's new but she was so good I wouldn't have even known. Loved this place will definitely be back.

My spouse and I have walked past this bistro many times and finally I stopped in for lunch. I was the only patron and it was very quiet. The Good The coffee (iced latte with honey vanilla) was quite good. The Bad The service was fine I suppose, but forgettable. The Ugly The food (smashburger and tomato soup) would have been the worst meal I've had this month had Shipleys not taken that crown this morning. The burger: 4oz? Zero chance there was that much meat, and it was also incredibly dry and overcooked. The brioche bun was dry, flakey almost and borderline stale, little to no garlic aioli, egg was overcooked... zero redeeming qualities. The tomato soup was ... clumpy? At first glance I thought maybe it had "gone bad", but I ate anyway thinking surely its impossible to serve bad soup. Time will tell. Overall Will not go back unless its for coffee and even then likely not. Very disappointed. As you can see... my first post. Im not one to leave a review unless its warranted. This was bad, bad. Id be surprised if this place lasts through end of year.
