“ What a vibe! Loved everything from the service to the amazing coffee and food options! Do yourself a favor and skip Starbucks for a local gem like this. Can’t wait to go back. Kolaches, donuts, and coffee .....life is good. ”
“ Had a kolache, two donuts, and iced coffee. The service was excellent - able to inform me after I asked a few questions and the prices are more than fair. Finally, the quality of the food is excellent! The donuts are so rich and the kolaches are extremely satisfying! ”
“ I would hazard to call whatever I had a donut, but whatever you would call it, was certainly delicious. The sign could be hard to spot and the exterior is a little-- on the intimidating side-- but through that door is a magician's workshop. The staff make no compromise, so when I thought of ordering something as innocuous as a ”cinnimon roll" I had no clue of the blowtorch that was about to be used (Awesome.) In summary, this place sells pieces of art. Bonus: coffee is great too ”
“ Very friendly atmosphere with bar seating that let's see all the cooking happening. Booth seats for comfort and groups to enjoy the space to. The donut I had was a lemonchello poppy seed, it really hit the spot. The other cool thing is if you go far enough to the back you can see the donuts being made as well. ”
“ We visited as tourists after finding favorable reviews on Yelp. The staff was friendly to explain their menu and answer questions, as we arrived during a mid-morning lull. We loved our breakfast sandwiches and grabbed a delicious donut to-go. Highly recommend. Don’t think, just go! ”
“ Great coffee, pastries and service. Loved the cinnamon roll, espresso and cappuccino. Although a tiny place, great to hang out for a few minutes and enjoy the brews. The only issue is usually parking so drive carefully and don't fret walking a bit to get there, it will be worth it. ”
“ Great independent coffee company! Lovin' supporting this small business. Great food & coffee. ”
