Coffee

Coffee and treats were delicious. I called on a Friday afternoon. I didn't find the service amazing. One pleasant dark haired girl serving, another girl bordering on rude. My child spilled a drink. I rushed to find napkins and mopped it off a very dirty floor at the window seat side of the shop. The girl was busy brushing her hair in the long mirror. .

I was looking for a good coffee, and I knew the minute I walked in here I’d be getting a great coffee - which is exactly what I got - and I bought the cookies and still think of them. Worth stopping in town for.
