I have found my favorite coffee shop!! I’ve only been here a few times but the atmosphere is quite lovely! That’s the only way I can describe it. It’s quiet in a calm way. People are here (with kids) and talking but it’s not the hustle and bustle of other shops. I don’t live near here me, but this might become a regular “Let’s go have coffee” spot. Definitely I want a change of scenery and coffee. I got peanut butter toast today so I could feel like a kid! It’s actually TWO slices. I was not expecting that. If you have two young kids (minus allergies) you could order one of these and feed both. 😆 They have some gluten free options in the baked goods. Today they had protein donuts. Next time.

Menu has Gluten Free items clearly marked. Very good margarita, excellent atmosphere, good service. Salsa and guacamole are mild, and it felt like everything needed a lot of salt, but we enjoyed ourselves.

Please be careful what you order, their brisket or BBQ, or both, are marinated or cooked in something that eliminates the gluten free option. We are not sure which entree was the culprit, please double check how the meat is cooked when you order. Besides our GF reaction, go with the St. Louis BBQ sauce, their house sauce is bland. Adding brisket to the salad was a good option, but the brisket was cold, so it did not add to the greens. We absolutely enjoyed the cole slaw, perfectly flavored and just wet enough. We were split with the BBQ, it was average, nothing memorable, just filling.
