Okay. A quick note. If you come here thinking you’re ordering a pour over well, you’re not exactly. I was told the pour overs are kind of made in bulk somehow and then poured into a dispenser. And check out the grounds in the cup. But....Read More

Beautiful coffee shop, with an old factory look, ideal to study or work. Coffee is excellent and the pastries, which are made by a local bakery, are delicious.

Legit best coffee in town, and if you're driving down I-70 this is TOTALLY worth the 1.5mile jaunt and there's a parking lot right behind it. Talented & friendly staff, top notch roasts and bacon maple donuts!!!
