Shop was super cute. Food wise; Very disappointed. Ordered a bacon egg and cheese on a biscuit. The biscuit tastes exactly like the frozen pillsbury ones you get at the market. The bacon bits speak for itself… I think a place should warn you if they are serving you bacon bits rather than actual bacon because to me that is vile.

Stop for a tire repair in Aurora and decided to get some coffee afterwards. Pleasantly surprised by this gem of a coffee shop with the most interesting ambience and decor. Very pleasant staff wonderful food and very good coffee. Definitely stop here if you’re in the area.

Drove 4 miles off Highway 80 to this fantastic little coffee shop and it was absolutely worth the time spent getting to it! So much more than a coffee shop! Also a gallery for local artists, agift shop for local creations and book clubs. Plus fantastic made from scratch chai latte and dark roast coffee like we had today.

I stopped here for a cup of coffee on a road trip this month. I loved the atmosphere of the cafe and the staff were so wonderfully friendly and enjoyable to talk to. After a long journey of the interstate, this was such a lovely break. I ended up buying a journal and book that was on display and spent some relaxing time looking at all the miniature book books they have. This is a picture that I took of the lovely lady who served me and shows me around.

Stopped in Aurora for the free city campground on our drive back to Colorado and found this coffee shop for a quick breakfast on our way out. It was adorable! You can immediately feel the sense of community upon entering and there were whimsical treasures, books, and games all around. The drip coffee was delicious, the staff was friendly, and it’s the type of place that feels so wholesome, you may never want to leave! This is a special place, with lots of intention where I’m sure hearts grow with connection.

The store is cute but the coffee is sour. The machine desperately needs cleaned and flushed. The baristas were in there just hardcore gossiping about another employee and I was clearly an unwelcome interruption to their chat, I feel bad for who has to work with them. $6+ for a mocha that went into the trash.

The perfect little Community Favored Coffee Shop! I even made a friend! I’m traveling thru to New Hampshire! Coffee was excellent. I’ll go again for a Panini!

Stopped in Aurora to find a coffee shop to do some work and ended up having the BEST gluten free sandwich I’ve ever had. They even prepare their gluten free foods on dedicated kitchenware. So many yummy gluten free baked goods and much much more! The service was impeccable and the business promotes community engagement in MANY ways! An amazing place (that offers way more than just coffee)!!!

Delicious coffees and tea served alongside a variety of sandwiches and wraps. The baked goods have gluten-free, dairy free, or vegan options and are locally made. They have several entertainment options, such as; craft night, game night, and book clubs throughout the week as well as special performances throughout the month. You can also find art displayed and sold by local artists.
