Frequented this place a few times and will always lock in one of their Zephyr Cookies anytime I have a hike on the cards, or looking for a healthy bite to eat. Only thing pulling it back on the 5 stars is the espresso coffee - just seems to vary depending on whose on the machine. But if you're not an espresso fiend, and rate the drip coffee life, then this may well be your spot!

Stopped by here to grab a quick bite before the start of a hike. Excellent coffee drinks and the food also didnt disappoint. Our breakfast bagel was hot, fresh, and packed with flavors from egg-bacon-cheese.

Cute place with board games, a fireplace and tons of food and drinks options! There is also lots of seating so a nice place to hang out and relax. Loved the selection of games they had as well. Their london fog was amazing, but just a bit too on the sweet side for me - good otherwise!
