First time visiting and the barista was super sweet & recommended me a latte to try! It was a maple spice with pumpkin cold foam- wasnt too sweet & definitely the perfect fall drink! They use Monin brand syrups which in my opinion taste way better so I was also happy about that :) thank you so much!!

Very nice spot for a sandwich type lunch. We had a couple of paninis, chicken salad a couple of delicious cookies and a blueberry muffin. The have some great coffee from the ATL also. Small restaurant that used to be a Sinclair gas station with outdoor seating. Environmentally conscious owner with a very attentive and friendly staff. In the evening (open till 9:00pm) I could see a very relaxing conversation with a beer or glass of wine.

Drove to Madison and decided to explore the area and stop by this Nice coffee shop. I was treated very well, and so were my dogs. One of the workers brought water for my dogs outside. The coffee was really good, and loved that they had a lot of different choices of flavors for the lattes. The Fruit cup and grilled vegetable wrap both were very delicious. Well, be back again thank you for being dog friendly.
