The place is lovely and the food is amazing!
My favorites are the Spice Pumpkin cake and the Houdini toastie, delicious!
Also if you have celiac, tell them at the counter. They really know what there doing, no cross contamination whatsoever.
I couldn’t resist stopping when I spotted the sign along the main road: “Vegan options, gluten-free!” 🌱🍞 It was like a magnet pulling me in. Curious and eager to explore, I followed the signs and used Google Maps to find my way.
First Impressions: ✨
Walking in, I was immediately struck by the variety of options available so many choices, I didn’t know where to start! 😅 My eyes darted around: “That one looks good, and that one too, and definitely that one!” It took a little self-control to narrow it down to just one item.
The service was warm and welcoming, with a friendly gentleman directing me to the upstairs seating area. 🪑 There, I found a cozy, well-organized space with a calm atmosphere. 🎶 The low-volume background music and comfortable seating made it the perfect spot to unwind. It’s easy to see why this place has such a loyal following.
The Food: 🍽️
For my meal, I chose the Vegan toastie, a tough decision since it was one of three tempting options. Before the first bite, the delicious aroma was already drawing me in. 😋 And the first bite? Perfection. The sourdough bread was crispy on the outside, soft and flavorful on the inside, complementing the filling wonderfully. 🥖 The balance of flavors was spot on, and I couldn’t resist the urge to come back before I had even finished my meal.
The Coffee: ☕
After enjoying my meal, I decided to try the coffee. I went with their medium roast, and it did not disappoint. A smooth blend of Colombian and Brazilian beans, with a golden-red brown color and light caramel notes. 🌟 I’d rate it an 8/10 definitely a more casual coffee that will satisfy the average coffee lover without being overly complex.
Final Thoughts: 💬
This place strikes a balance between being a niche café and having widespread appeal. It’s a spot that stands out for its quality, cozy ambiance, and vegan/gluten-free options, while still offering something for everyone. I’d personally rate it a solid 9.5/10 🏅the variety of vegan options alone makes it a standout, and it’s clear they care about their ingredients and presentation. Highly recommend for anyone in the area whether you’re vegan, gluten-free, or just looking for a peaceful place to enjoy great food and coffee.
