Amazing! I made an intentional trip to your lovely bakery this morning and what a delightful experience! I am not sure how you have both the best biscuit I have ever had AND the best chocolate chip cookie I’ve ever had! Magical! 10/10 will return!

HIGHLIGHT of my little solo weekend away. What an absolute gem. Saw someone write a review complaining about prices of their chocolate chip cookies, which 1) this person must be living under a rock or hasn’t eaten out in a while because these prices are very normal, and 2) THIS WAS THE BEST CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE I EVER HAD!!! I’m not exaggerating. I came here for breakfast both mornings. Bagels were absolutely delicious, they don’t skimp on the fabulous cream cheese, and the vibes are immaculate (as well as the iced lattes). Don’t miss this spot!!

Oh my gosh. My fiance and I stopped here for a quick coffee before heading to Acadia. Our iced oat milk lattes were like iced velvet washing over our palettes like an energy fueled cascading waterfall. It’s leaving us euphoric and so excited for the days adventures. We can’t stop smiling about our delicious our coffee is. Best we’ve ever had!

Hidden gem of the area, and a much appreciated safe space in an otherwise weird leaning state. The breakfast egg, bacon and cheese biscuit slaps harder than a drag show on a Saturday night. Do not skip it. Coffee is fine, the tea selection is great, and the space is nicely decorated and clean. Parking is street and might be scarce during the tourist season.
