in the last weekWe had delicious smoothies that were made on the spot as an afternoon treat. The owner was very attentive and provided local travel tips.

2 weeks agoIt's not your average coffee shop, nor is it your average ice cream parlor, so if you're just going for a simple coffee, it's expensive. I understand that the decor, location, music, and atmosphere come at a price. I can't fault what I ordered, nor can I comment on the pastries or other food. That's why I'm giving it three stars for everything except the staff, who were attentive and friendly.

a month agoThis is a hidden gem in this town, the owners made amazing food. It was fresh. It was delightful. The service was incredible. Would go there over and over again… I had the card, pizza, bruschetta, and empanada, and everything was made fresh in-house
