Reviews

The girls who run this cafe are so friendly! My family loves the food and drinks. It’s the perfect place for any meal or if you’re just wanting a sweet treat. The tiktoks they post also make my day!

Incredible service! The girls that work there are amazing and always have a smile on their face. Food tastes great and me and my daughter LOVE the Reese’s brownies and the chocolate chip cookies! 20/10

Not bad. Breakfast food was decent but nothing out of the ordinary. Paid like $6.00 for what I assumed would be freshly squeezed lemonade but tasted more like country time powdered lemonade to me. Atmosphere was VERY small town, country. No frills. Wasn't bad. Wasn't spectacular. Was average. Though I rated slightly above average with stars...

Stopped in to try the new Crispy Chicken Sammy and the Thin Mint Iced Coffee. I left with some really great Merch and an amazing experience. The shop and staff is so friendly, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming like coming home to visit your family. The sandwich was the BEST fried chicken sandwich I have ever had. It was Hot and fresh, crispy and moist. The Thin Mint coffee was delicious and the Lucky Charms was super tasty too! With a mix of antique and new items, many made from local vendors, plus cute tees and on brand merch this place is a Must Stop Shop! 10/10 will visit again and again!

Amazing food and great atmosphere! Perfect for our get together of friends. We had several small children with us, and no one said a word when they got a little loud for a min (very family friendly and we got them quieted down quickly eating the yummy food). Staff was beyond nice. And can I tell ya...the frozen hot chocolate is amazing!!!!!
