Such a local gem! The owners, Silver and Signe, are so warm and inviting, and their food is above and beyond. I've gone here a few times for grab and go meals in the morning, but I really fell in love after attending one of their monthly BYOB tapas nights. I'm tempted to gatekeep, but follow their social media for dates. The food was phenomenal!

This is a lovely hole in the wall place with great ambiance. The coffee is drip coffee only, which isn’t my favorite but if that’s your thing, it’s good. Chickpea wrap was tasty but quite a lot for one person I felt.

I was truly taken back by this place. Words cannot express how much it warmed my heart to see such a wonderfully small staff provide service here. To my understanding, there are only two individuals working here (one cooking and one taking orders/ attending). This alone struck me due to how busy it was a Sunday morning. However, the food is top notch and service is outstanding. If I lived closer I could see myself being a regular. I definitely plan on making the 45 minute trip out again. Totally worth it and I wish the staff the absolute best!
