Stopped in to work for a few hours and love this warm and inviting atsmophere. Molly and her staff are helpful and make you feel like you are a part of the community. They treat eveyone as a family member. I had a Lavendar Oat Milk latte and it was perfectly made. Lots of curated snacks, groceries and provisions. Being gluten free there were lots of snacks for me to enjoy.
