Awesome little coffee shop! Went there for my first time today and had never heard of it. Glad I did! Great coffee! Daughter had a smoothing and loved it. Man working there was so nice and welcoming. Definitely will be going back soon!

Stopped here after golf and the Carmel Caribou was delicious! Skip the chains around, the taste of this coffee is way better.

Brilliant coffee and service! And half the price of the other places. Nothing beats a classic homemade coffee with love and intention behind it. And it’s attached to a beautiful florist as well
