A hidden gem squirreled away inside a former Pizza Hut. We came for the gluten free baked goods plus some coffee. The gluten free muffins are very well made in such a way that you can't really tell that they are gluten free. Their regular drip coffee is a medium/dark roast that is bold yet satisfying. They make a really dynamite hazelnut latte. Service is very friendly and helpful. Overall vibe is chill and laid back. It's a nice place to sit and sip.
