A friendly welcome and an inviting space to enjoy a perfectly brewed coffee and delicious breakfast. Service was fantastic and quick. With a playground and plenty of room, as well as being dog friendly, we are so glad we discovered this wonderful little spot suitable for the whole family! We will be back out west soon!!
