    Typical Boston suburb cafe with laid-back vibes and solid food.

    Stopped by a few weekends ago after walking the dog. The patio was still open, which was lucky since the tables inside were fully claimed. We snagged a spot outside with the pup and grabbed what was left on the menu (they were already sold out of a few items and sandwiches were limited to just 4 options past 10am).

    The food was mostly into that simple, healthy, cold-prep lane. The classic acai bowl and quiche were both solid, but the avocado breakfast sandwich felt a bit skimpy on the toppings. We also grabbed a slice of sesame banana bread, which was fine, but nothing to write home about.

    From drinks, I tried the Spicy Latte. It sounded unique, but the execution was a bit off. Instead of a balanced heat, it tasted like spicy milk, with a gritty, unpleasant aftertaste from the chili powder. Would recommend sticking to the basics here.

    Nice, local place where it seems everything is made from scratch. They don't use bottled syrup for their coffees and their chai is made there so no prepackaged overly sweet chai like you get at Starbucks and you can pick your level of sweetness.
    The coffee cake I've tried has been very good in the breakfast sandwich is delicious as is the roasted veg bowl. A friend I go there with gets their bowls and also really enjoys them.
    They have a few racks of locally made items that is a really nice touch and has some great options for gifts.
    There is street parking and around 8:00 a.m. or so it's easy to find but later on you might have to walk a little bit.

    Such a cute neighbourhood cafe!! Gets busy from early in the morning as it is a popular spot. Good variety of pastries and cooked breakfasts. Also they sell some cute artisan goods at the front of the store such as candles, ceramics and homemade granola. Menu also has LOTS of gluten free options which is great. I got the gluten free banana bread and scone both were excellent.

    Someone called this a typical suburb cafe and I have to disagree so strongly, it’s so much better than that. Imagine Lukes diner but with healthy foods, durable trinkets and friendly staff. This place is cozy and a hug for your soul. In my opinion way better food than most cafes

    We ate breakfast twice here. The home made granola is extraordinarily balanced and tasty. The fried eggs sandwich on sourdough bread with a cheddar cheese blend is out of this world. And the cakes! Organic coffee! And the Moroccan Mint Tea.
    The atmosphere is incredible. The cafe is the centerpiece of the town.
    Follow up after two months: I finished the two granola bags I bought on our first visit to the restaurant. I just ordered four more and gave up trying to find something even close to this granola in our area.
