Passing by on my way to MA I stopped in for an egg sandwich. I was a little annoyed to see it was $9.50 (I’m annoyed by the cost of most things nowadays). What I got was a big beautiful sandwich on very good multi-grain with generous slices of tomato and bacon and a bowl of fresh seasonal berries on the side. Lovely breakfast and well worth the cost! The cafe was clean and nicely decorated, staff was friendly.

Obsessed. I want to eat and drink here every day for the rest of my life. Do you know how long I've been searching for a semi-local place that has fun latte flavors and ice cream year round? All I've had time to try so far on my two visits is a bagel, lemonade, sandwich and a latte but don't worry, I'll be back many times.

Great place to stop in and enjoy fresh baked items and your favorite brewed coffee drinks! Friendly staff and plenty of room to sit and talk while you enjoy your purchases.

I always loved coming here on my way through the area when it was called Baker & the Brew. With the name change, the cafe has been remodeled. It used to be all dark wood, moody ambiance, and interesting textures. Now it's much brighter which gives it a roomier feel and the ambiance is more modern chic. There is still plenty of space for those desiring to sit and enjoy. The staff is still very pleasant and the ordering is about the same. I believe the drive through is still available. The menu names have changed somewhat and there may be a few new or different items to choose from. Overall it's a beautiful place and the food is still excellent. I have always loved the lox bagels so I'm glad to see they're still on the menu.

This coffee shop is incredibly cozy, even with a large number of visitors. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, making it a perfect place to relax. The food is simply wonderful! We were thrilled with every dish we tried, and we will definitely be back to enjoy this delightful spot again.

One of my favorite cafes! I love both locations. I love how customizable the drinks are—they’re always happy to accommodate my preferences, especially when I order my lattes. The staff is consistently friendly and welcoming, which makes every visit a great experience. It’s clear they care about both the quality of their drinks and their customers. Highly recommend if you're looking for a cozy spot with great service and delicious options! The drive-thru is a great option when I’m on the go. Just keep in mind that it may take a little longer than your typical fast food spot, but that’s because everything is made fresh, especially their sandwiches, which are made in-house. Totally worth the wait for the quality and service!

LOVE having a real coffee shop back in town. Stop in for a pistachio croissant, they're better than Doro and approx. same price point. The girls working are always sweet and kind and happy to adjust anything if you have questions. It's not cheap, but it's some of the best coffee ever.

we come here often but i always forget to leave a review! food is great, i like the avocado toast but i’ve gotten the açaí bowls and some pastries- all are delicious. my mother hasn’t tried a sandwich here she didn’t enjoy! drinks are always so good, i’m a big fan of the tiramisu syrup with a latte but their seasonal drinks never us down ↕ service is also great, very nice staff and good atmosphere. we usually have the same lady, if you’re seeing this hiii you’re the best, who’s very sweet and welcoming every time
