I've been here a few times and have always enjoyed the drinks I've had. Today i asked for a suggestion as to a holiday drink. The girl suggested i try the Fireside Chai. Y'all, it might be the BEST chai I've ever had! It was fantastic, and I'm likely going back tomorrow for another!!

Great to have this place in walking distance during our stay in Ellwood! Enjoyed an Ellwood Fog (with lavender) and Ellwood Latte (lavender & caramel), and the kids enjoyed a lavender & honey lemonade coffee cake muffin. All delicious! Planning to stop by again this week!

Never had a bad drink here! Love this little coffee shop, the girls always make the drinks fast, but quality. You can bring your doggies inside. They have good pastries that change up. My favorite is the iced Ellwoodian :)

Bright, airy, friendly space with delicious drinks, outdoor seating, and yummy snacks. A great place to meet friends, take a meeting, or get a little work done. Highly recommend. They make a really great flat white.

Typical coffee shop prices for food a drink but portion sizes are on the large size, so that's nice, and coffee is smooth not bitter. Plays great music (has Aerosmith radio playing on Alexa right now) Ample seating from cozy conversation corners to dining/work space tables with lots of outlets. 5/5 would recommend.
