Staff was amazing! As soon as we arrived you could sense the pride and attention the owner has poured into their establishment. All of the flowers were meticulously cared for and were abundant. The cafe had really good coffee. The menu items had gluten free options and the food surpassed our expectations. The cafe staff were excellent as well.
