Not your normal fast food. Quality healthy food options served fast. They have delicious specialty beverages from smoothies to just about any kind of hot beverage, that they make fresh in a hurry. First Sunday of the month, open mic for musical performers. The performers were wonderful. The place was packed. The workers were all working full speed to get people's orders to them quickly. Everything our group had, was delicious.Parking: I dropped my elderly mother by the door. Parking was pretty full so I parked out a couple of rows.Wheelchair accessibility: Nice ramp for easy access.

This is a very unique coffee house. It’s very spacious and large. There are many items available to look at inside. The coffee and cappuccino drinks are of good quality and priced fairly.

I stopped here today for a business lunch with a partner of mine and this place DID NOT disappoint. The staff was friendly. They made recommendations based on what they liked. And the food was really good. To be honest, and I told the staff this before I left, I wasn’t expecting anything spectacular. Just something to eat quick during my meeting…But LET ME TELL YOU. It was REALLY good. The bread was great. The bacon was a really nice crispy compliment to the turkey and the avocado was cool and creamy rounding out every bite. And the soup? It was amazing. Hearty and full of flavor like it was homemade.A job well done to the owners and staff for making my day! Pleasantly surprised and I’ll definitely be back!

They have excellent sandwiches, soups (the white chicken chili is my favorite and it’s DELISH!) and a variety of coffees to choose from. I love that they have weekly drink specials and are always adding more options.I love that they have a gift shop vibe mixed in with a huge amount of seating. It’s a great spot to sit and journal.I lived in town for years and I still make a point to come back here whenever I’m in NL. 👍🏻☕️

Stopped in for coffee. We thought this was a little coffee shop which it ended up to be, but a coffee shop that sells many local items as well as bulk bags of serve yourself coffee, all connected to a larger area with comfy chairs and ottomans and sofas and larger tables where a group of older people were sitting and quietly chatting happily. This is was a cute little stop on our way home, I will definitely remember it. I wish I would have thought to take more photos. Will definitely be going back.

Really cute place! They use Wonderstate Coffee for their espresso and you can tell how great the quality is. The baristas were very nice and my drink was delicious!!

Met a friend for coffee, lunch and conversation. Plenty of seats/tables available which was great. It’s fairly empty in there for how big it is? Food was good, the peanut butter frappe was tasty, and service was friendly. It was very cold in the building though, I wore my winter jacket the entire time.

We made our first visit yesterday while taking a break from a motorcycle ride. We didn't know what to expect but were delighted with the quality of our food, the coffee, and the generally friendly atmosphere. Performers on the open stage were a plus. We'd be glad to visit again.Parking: Parking at the door.

Stopped in for lunch. Had chicken salad and an ice tea; they were both delicious. Friendly service. Purchased a few gifts items as well. An incredible and affordable display of plants for purchase. Will be back.

Amazing how 8 workers take 15 minutes to make a simple extra large latte and a large coffee. And then when we received our order they were the wrong sizes - a small latte and a large coffee. Personality of the workers is just shy of an iceburg. Guess you have to be a regular customer to get good service. Never go there because of the pretentious attitude of the staff. Looks like Kwik Trip will continue to get my business... at least a machine can get your order right without the crummy attitude.

Being new to the area I was excited to check this place out. A little disappointed there seemed to be very few options for anyone requiring a gluten free diet or low carb/keto. They had sugar free sweeteners but no unsweetened almond milk. Maybe there are more options than I realize but staff was not super friendly and made me feel uncomfortable for asking questions about menu. Ended up having a plain Americano which was no better than coffee I could have drank at home. Also heard management snip at an employee to hurry up because she had other things she needed to do, very unprofessional.

My husband and I along with our corgi biked to the Cafe and sat outside to eat. The food and drinks were so delicious and the owners and staff we friendly, professional, and courteous. We were even given water for our dog! Highly recommend and when we're back in New London will stop again!

If I could give them more stars I would. I love coming her to study for school as a master student, I often come to study and write papers. I love the set up. They have seating next to the kids play area which is one one end of the seating area and then a bunch of tables to work at. I love that even with kids playing there it is still very quiet and enjoyable to be at. There food is good, I wish they offered a little more variety for breakfast other than just sandwiches like just eggs or bagels. Overall, its a great place to be.

Met a dear friend yesterday morning for a snack, coffee and conversation. We have been meeting here for 2 years and have yet to be disappointed with the food or service. The staff here are kind, smiling and efficient. We have had quiche and bakery both delicious and satisfying. I appreciate the extra large Mochas! We will return for another opportunity to enjoy this wonderful coffee shop.As a bonus they offer bulk coffee and other items for sale. The nifty hand made gifts are of good quality and have purchased a pair or two of the mittens which were a big hit!

It was a very enjoyable. I went to watch open mic and visit with a friend. Music was just loud enough to understand and enjoy and still visit. The coffee was delicious I had a blue raspberry latte. Very flavorful and I would say that the whole experience with real good.

Great place to stop for coffee, bakery, and lunch. The white chocolate blueberry scones and the ham and swiss with the honey mustard aioli are our favorites. The espresso is very clean tasting and they have a nice variety of flavors. Try a hot Cinnamon Bun Latte!Edit: Had delivery today and it was very fast. The coffee was still hot and as always, yummy!

I really like this place. As a grad school student, I love studying here. I just wish there was a little more variety of foods especially for lunch time. I also wish they didn't charge 4.50 for just a bagel with cream cheese which is the same price if you get a breakfast sandwich.

Slow. Ordered a coffee and breakfast sandwich. So far I've been waiting 30 minutes for the sandwich. Finally got it after 40 minutes and it was cold.

Great small town coffee shop. Wish I could give it 6 stars. Staff is happy and friendly and the atmosphere is casual. Coffee is just the beginning as they also sell great sandwiches and have an array of local goods. Definitely worth the stop, would recommend to anyone, and with out a doubt will be back many more times.

We were so happy to find this amazing coffee shop. Plenty of comfy furniture inside. But the real treasure was sitting on the patio over looking the Wolf river. So peaceful! Entertainment, food and staff were great! Happy to have wine and beer available. We will be back soon for a coffee beverage!

Loved this cozy cute coffee shop! Maple mocha was delicious! So many things there. Coffee, teas, jewelry, food and a nice place to sit down.

Everything is almost always very good when I go in and I love the atmosphere but I once ordered a Breve (half and half instead of milk, that’s a 75 cent up charge) so it’d be creamier and they put ice cubes in it because apparently it was too hot. I would rather have a drink that’s a bit too hot than pay extra money for you to just water it down. It was probably the worst one i’ve ever had because it was so watery. I’ve also noticed every time I’ve order a Lotus drink that they’re almost always flat. Maybe invest in a soda gun because I pay almost $6 for that drink and it’s not great flat.

Discriminate against children even tho they advertise as family friendly. They also discriminate against people with disabilities I am astounded that this business is not shut down through the courts for their very close minded and prejudice views. This world needs love and understanding not discrimination!
