Atmosphere: Beautiful little cafe with lots of nice touches: the woodwork, the chairs, and the unique wall art.Service: excellent, young woman friendly, helpful, and kind.Food: Great, and it really 'hit the spot'. We were just visiting so we didn't try the sandwiches. UNTIL NEXT TIME!!

Favorite coffeeshop.Lovely C. S. Lewis theme, very cohesive.Delicious and healthy food selection, some gluten free food options. Their varying specials of pastries, breads, cookies, donuts, and cakes are made in house. Some tend to sell out fast, so earlier in the day is often better if you're going for sweets!I particularly love the sandwiches, and their coffee is good.

First time visiting! I loved the C.S. Lewis/Narnia atmosphere and decor! Literally such a dream come true! I of course completely geeked out, and bought several things besides the great coffee, and took LOTS of pictures! Going back for sure!

Best cookie and scone I've had in a long long time. I went there too late in the day on donut day so sadly they were sold out of everything but what I got. Well I left one cookie in the glass case in case somebody else came out before closing time, haha. Really delicious and the two young ladies who were working couldn't have been any nicer or sweeter.

Everything is amazing!! This is a “pull off the high way while traveling” type place. Everything is amazing. Great coffee and amazing food. The bagels are the perfect mix of chewy, fluffy, little doughy, little firm truly everything you’d want in a bagel. The scones have the perfect level of sweetness - not too sweet, just enough. Everything is Narnia themed which just added to the over all time at Clive’s. There’s a little area with games and kids books too :)

Such a great place to go for meetings, lunch, studying, you name it. There's even a place for my kids to play quietly and enjoy their sweet treats. You can't beat house-made bread and pastries!Dietary restrictions: Phenomenal gluten-free chocolate chip cookies!Kid-friendliness: They even have mini furniture for my mini humans!

We love the smooth coffee. It doesn’t have a bit to it. So yummy. My fav is the Cranberry Granola Bars. I can eat them and not feel bad. We love the atmosphere and the staff are friendly and give great service too. Clive’s is a feel good place

Quiet place to curl up in a chair and read a book or study at one of the tableS. Grab a coffee and sandwich around the couches and chat with a friend or two.The coffee beans are freshly roasted down the street. Best coffee place in town.Parking: Store front parking and a lot in the back.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids corner with books, toys, and games.

I have come into Clive’s multiple times over the past two years now, and have always enjoyed the experience. However, the experience I had there with my dad today was disappointing. We walked in to no line and a group sitting towards the back.We gave our order and sat down to wait. We waited for 25 minutes for 2 coffees, a cookie, and a cinnamon role. Aside from our order, the group in the back had 2 coffees and a pastry delivered while we waited. Having myself worked in the food service industry for last 9 years, I was seriously shocked. One of those food service jobs was also a locally owned coffee shop so I have a pretty decent understanding of what the work environment is like … once we received our order, we left (as we had somewhere to be), only to realize that my dad’s cinnamon role was rock hard, his coffee was cold (actually cold!) and there was no sugar added to the coffee like he had asked for. My order on the other hand was perfect.The reasoning behind the 3 stars is I have enjoyed every previous visit to Clive’s but was sorely disappointed with our visit today.

Clive's is a new favorite spot. The intentionality and attention to every detail in the decor make the atmosphere so cozy and inviting. There are many nods to C.S. Lewis's Chronicles of Narnia series, which keep the eye fascinated. The coffee was delicious, and the donuts were so unique! The owners have done a great job at making this a place where you want to come back. ❤️ We had a Mom's Night Out for us, and the staff was so accommodating.

Stopped in around 6pm and was delighted to find pastry happy hour! I ordered a peach chai and an earl grey donut and my husband ordered a latte and a cookie. We also split a sandwich and were so pleased with everything!! The atmosphere was amazing and the service was great. Can't wait to go back when passing through.

This is a wonderful place for coffee and lunch!As a CS Lewis fan I loved all the nods to him and his works. Most of the nods refer to the Chronicles of Narnia. I know Lewis best for his non fiction works. Personally I would love to see some nods to a few of his other works.The owner is excited about his company and loves working there. He is more than happy to talk to his customers and make sure they feel welcome.

When I want to wind down or dig into a good project or book, I love this coffee shop and it's great character, charm and fresh coffee. And their saucer-sized chocolate chip cookies!!!What a gem in the middle of the town. Great for conversations and a bit of renewal for the heart.

Very nice coffee shop. The drinks were good and the staff were friendly. Bathroom was clean as well. The only thing that I would have liked is more couch seating options. There is mostly tables for seating.

DELICIOUS. Pastries, sandwiches, quiche. That lemon donut is the best donut I have ever had. Coffee is great. Can’t wait to come back!

A great place to visit and get coffee, chai, espresso, pastries, or a sandwich to nibble on. Baristas are always nice and great for conversation.The history and decor on the walls are great additions to this little slice of caffeinated heaven.

Stopped here on our way through Sterling for a much needed break. The staff was great (and they wore masks). The iced Americana was excellent and the cookies even better! Great find for us! Thank you again!

Amazing drinks and food, they always take extra care for their customers to ensure they’re getting what they want! Have also been very accommodating with COVID; I’ve done several pick up orders that they bring to my car. Exceptional service!
