Kelsey & Michaela were absolutely AMAZING Not only were we able to get our morning coffee and the BEST Banana nut muffins. While we enjoyed the conversation with the girls we were able to shop in the cute little boutique area they have with amazing prices. This is definitely our new favorite local coffee shop.

Have not tried the food yet but the iced coffee was not so great it was very warm and I asked for no whip and it had whip on top. The lady that served me was very nice. I would like to try their food it sounded very tasty I just don't recommend the iced coffee.

Adorable little shop. Stopped by today and got the breakfast special of biscuits, gravy, scrambled eggs and bacon. Everything tasted wonderful and like grandma made it. I had an iced mocha and it was so good. Not overly sweet.

This is the first five star rating I have ever given. This place deserves it. From the time you walk in u will here a nice hello. As when you leave you will here Y-all come back soon. I just had major teeth surgery and have been getting a Chocolate Peanut butter milk shake every day for the last two weeks, and sometimes twice a day. YUM! The coffee is very good, and there homemade pastries are great. Blaine has got a great little Coffee Ice cream shop and the name is Dipsy Daisy!!!!

My wife and I really enjoyed that cup of Joe and cinnamon bun this morning. The inside is such a very quaint and uplifting atmosphere. A lot of original creative decoration. And the service from our server, Elizabeth, was great! We will definitely go back.
