I got their delicious Dark Chocolate Mocha made by Treasure.

And it waa delicious. Not only did she make our drinks but she went above and beyond to come outside and try to set the cozy atmosphere for us with the fireplaces.

Heather also was very nice. The Chocolate products are great we got the poppyseed muffin 3/5 and the the cinnamon muffin 5/5 and the chocolate chip cookie was a 4/5

Their dark mocha was a definet 5/5 with the included chocolate spoon

Great value for the money. The biggest bottled soda selection I’ve seen in a long time. Try a hot panini… pesto chicken and pulled pork BBQ were great.

Stop over for some chocolates or ice cream after your meal. Great way to finish your visit.

Molton cake was very good. Coffee was good. We sat outside and enjoyed it. The young lady who helped us was very accommodating. She even carried our food outside for us. Lots of yummy things to choose from if you have a sweet tooth.

Bought some gums and candy. Employees were nice. Candy was old, brittle and flavorless. Prices were sky high. Would not recommend. Gas station candy is better.

Extremely disappointing experience here. I want to preface this with – I love children and this is in no way against them specifically. But I went in here to get a coffee, and the cash register is being run by a child. Like 9. She doesn’t know how to ring up anything. Nor should she, she is a child. She is also the one making the drink! It is, honestly, the worst coffee I have ever drank. And not at all her fault, AS SHE IS A LITERAL CHILD. She and her even younger cousin (maybe 6 or 7?) where there working the place with their grandmother. I asked if they were getting paid. The grandmother tells me, “they’re getting paid in Chocolate.”

This shouldn’t be happening in 2025. If you do not have staff to help run your shop, children should not be filling in that role. They are not workers. They were sweet as pie, and I tipped both of them, but they shouldn’t be there. And they’re not even getting paid! I don’t believe children should be working in any restaurant or shop at that age, but especially not to do the actual labor (like ringing people up and making coffees!) that you are charging customers for. That’s not fair to those kids or the customers.

What the heck happened to child labor laws?

A Hidden Gem with the Friendliest Staff in Town

If you’re looking for a place that feels like home the minute you walk in, the local coffee, chocolate, and ice cream shops in our small town absolutely deliver. Beyond the delicious treats and cozy atmosphere, it’s the people behind the counters that make these places truly special.

The Coffee Shop:
The baristas greet you like you’re an old friend, whether it’s your first visit or your fiftieth. They’re genuinely happy to be there — no fake smiles or forced greetings. They ask about your day, remember your favorite drink, and even suggest new seasonal specials tailored to your taste. The staff is fast, knowledgeable about their brews, and never make you feel rushed, even during the morning rush. There’s a sincerity here that’s rare: you can tell they care about getting it right and making you feel welcome.

The Chocolate Store:
Walking into the chocolate shop is like stepping into a cozy, sweet-smelling world where kindness is just as abundant as cocoa. The staff here is exceptional at making you feel like a VIP. They offer free samples with no pressure to buy, happily answer questions about ingredients and even offer pairing suggestions if you mention you’re buying for a special event. Their patience and friendliness turn what could be a quick stop into a memorable experience. They’re clearly passionate about what they sell, and it shows in every interaction.

The Ice Cream Parlor:
The ice cream shop feels like the heart of the community, especially on warm evenings when families line up outside. Despite the crowds, the team behind the counter keeps the energy high and the smiles genuine. They joke with kids, let customers sample flavors without hesitation, and offer thoughtful recommendations based on your preferences (whether you want something adventurous or classic). Even when the lines are long, they don’t cut corners or make you feel like just another customer.

Overall Experience:
Across all three locations, the common thread is clear: the staff treat you like family. They aren’t just serving products; they’re creating a place where people want to linger, connect, and come back. In a world where customer service often feels automated or rushed, these local businesses are a refreshing reminder that real hospitality still exists.

Final Thoughts:
It’s not just the coffee, chocolate, or ice cream that keeps me (and so many others) coming back — it’s the feeling you get when you walk in and the way you’re treated while you’re there. These places remind you what “small-town charm” really means.

Came on a Tuesday around 6 PM to get food on the grill and was told it was already turned off .. they close at 9 pm.. somewhat disappointed as there are not many options in this area.

Came back Wednesday earlier this time and proceeded to wait. 7-10 minutes to even place an order before walking over to another counter to ask if they are making food.

Was then helped promptly

Ordered
Ceasar salad
BBQ chicken sandwich
Lobster bisque

Ceasar salad was okay , the lettuce was not cut , chicken was cold prepackaged chicken

BBQ chicken sandwich was GREAT

lobster bisque was nice and hot but lacked flavor.

A little pricey but the place is worth a try
