I’m a part-time resident here and a huge coffee lover. Sundays are usually my best coffee days, but unfortunately this spot isn’t open then. So, when I can make it, I definitely do! I’ve been there three times now and ordered a Caramel Macchiato each time. It has tasted a little different each visit, I am now asking for tweaks like “less sweet”, trying things out, but it’s always been delicious, no matter what it tastes like, so no complaints.
The staff is always super friendly and welcoming, and the space itself is both cute and huge inside. I’ll definitely keep coming back whenever I’m in town and they’re open!

Today I went in before my ultrasound for an iced coffee cause I wanted an iced coffee on my birthday and the very nice lady granted me a free drink! Truly made my day! I also bought a T-Shirt today & a while back bought a baby onesie! Cannot wait to bring our daughter there wearing the cute coffee onesie! Wonderful atmosphere, great customer service, and beautiful setup! Highly recommend

I live in town and was so excited for a coffee shop to open! When I went in for the very first time, I was unfortunately disappointed with how unfriendly the staff was. The owner said a quick hi what can I get you. I responded by saying this was my first time here to which the menu was slide in front of me and she said I’m sorry we are out of a lot, but this is what we have. Now this is where as a business owner, you have the opportunity to make a customer for life or a customer that never comes back. Not another word was really said to me…..however the owner and 2 other ladies preceded to converse with themselves and discuss and taste new drinks. Not a customer for life! I was going to try and give them another chance, but my daughter recently went in and had almost the exact same experience. The kicker with her was she ordered a cinnamon roll and was never asked if she wanted it warmed up or not, then another customer came in and the conversation was completely different than the one my daughter had, the customer was asked if they would like it warmed, and the clerk preceded to have a full on conversation about how much better the cinnamon roll was warmed and so on. My daughter even said something about her experience right then. I won’t be back

Absolutely the best coffee in the Illinois Valley—no doubt about it! The staff is incredibly friendly. The drinks? Always made just right and absolutely delicious! It’s the perfect spot for studying, working on your laptop, or even a casual business meeting. And don’t even get me started on the blueberry muffins—they’re hands down the best I’ve had!

I stopped in due to word of mouth from a coworker. I’m not from the area but was staying nearby for training. I made a point to wake up early so I could go back the following day and get a coffee and snack. The coffee was full of flavor, the protein bites were awesome, and the atmosphere was refreshing. I will definitely come back if I’m in the area again.

This is a welcome addition to the area- I am so glad to have a coffee shop nearby! The building is spacious with tons of cozy seating. My drink and scone both tasted great. The menu is reasonably priced. Everyone I interacted with was friendly. Looking forward to many more coffee runs here, especially with winter about to kick in.

Staff is super friendly, the coffee is fantastic and the baked goods are delicious! The atmosphere is homey and comfortable. This place is a gem and a great addition to this small town. The location is perfect in a beautifully renovated lumber yard.

I had an amazing time there today but I think I left my brush there if anyone found a cat print brush with blue and orange fuzz in it its probably mine.
