So on the fence on how to rate this place. I am always down for a new coffee spot and will drive just about anywhere to support local and to try their cold brew which is my go to drink . This place has been on my radar for a while and today while my kids are on fall break I decided to take them with me and get their thought as well. First impression from the outside was surprise to find it in a shopping center shared with a grocery store etc, but upon opening the doors it's a very cool vibe. It definitely gives off that cabin feel. It's dark, cozy around a fireplace in one spot and some tables and chairs along the main wall. To some it might be too dark. I will say it felt a little small and claustrophobic to me. The tables are close together and it was very busy with no open seat in site. I took that as a good sign. There were a few people working on laptops and such, but more teenagers than anything. Not knocking teens as I brought a few with me, but my daughter felt a bit of snotty side eye from some of them and I could sense it as well. Not the businesses fault, but nothings more fun than being in a room with a bunch of snobby teens. We stood looking at the menu on the wall for a few as well as the food menu we found on a counter. While we saw a employee near the counter she didn't say hello or acknowledge us once until I practically stood in her face at the register. She was a bit more friendly while I talked with her. I of course ordered my cold brew either some heavy cream and vanilla, a black n white mocha and a chai. Everything was made pretty quick and the same employee even asked to make sure the one drink i ordered extra sweet was ok and offered to adjust if needed. They had a great selection of food items and I would've liked to try some things of there had been a place to sit big enough for the three of us, but I didn't want to try and take it to go as I had a long way to drive home. I liked that they also had a water station where on hot days you can hydrate while also inhaling your coffee and treats ha. I tried many sips of my cold brew before deciding it definitely wasn't for me. It was a bit too acidic and had a weird after taste. Not sure if it was the heavy whipping cream or the a mixture of both, but unfortunately I wouldn't order again let alone drive to get it. My son stated his black and white mocha also had an after taste he couldn't get past so I'm guessing it's the coffee, bummer. I will say my daughter did like her chai, but didn't say much else. I will say again we all did love the decor and feel of the place. I don't think I'd come back though. So bummed.

"Came here at around 8:45 on a Friday (last day of my fall break!) and they were nearly sold out! Like less than 10 bagels left I think! Service was great and super fast. It's just a small place so good to get to go! I got a salt bagel toasted with veggie cream cheese. I will say it is not the prettiest bagel I've seen in my life, but wow it was very very delicious! Good amount of salt, cream cheese had the perfect amount of veggie. Nice and fluffy, would definitely come back!"
"Saturday 11 am. Good: Fast and friendly service. Good bagel selection and sandwiches and Good prices. Flavor was ok. Excellent coffee prices Chicago vibe style but with better parking space. Also outside sitting option. Accesible access to the plaza. Not so good: Small place with no public bathroom or sink to wash your hands. Limited coffee selection and no iced coffee. Overall good place, we will come back."
