    This place is a little gem. A cute little cafe/coffee shop I never knew I needed in my life. I stopped in with a friend had some tea and bakery and if was wonderful. Regulars chat with you immediately and you feel very much at home. The owner was welcoming and kind and ready & available to help. Scones, croissants & cookies, galore. Check the menus in my photos. I will definitely go back here when I need a moment to sit and chill, to meet a friend, or a quick snack.

    Very nice lunch stop. Food was excellent -Hash with Egg and Flatbread Meal. Scones were great - not dry and very tasty. Wonderful service. Will be even better when warm enough to sit outside again.

    Amazing food! Service was timely and presentation of food exceeded expectations! Didn’t try any drinks but I’m sure they’d be good as well. Prices were very good for quality of food. Got a sweet potato sandwich with pesto and apples!

    Delightful place. Warm and welcoming atmosphere with good coffee and delicious homemade breads, etc. Just stopped in because it is close to where I am staying. Worth the stop. Plus the woman who waited on me was so friendly. She made my day!

    Wonderful experience! The cafe is small and lovely with very friendly woman who was running it. The peach gallete and pour over latte were just what I wanted. I felt welcome working on my computer and enjoyed the light conversation while ordering.

    This is such a hidden gem!!! I met a coworker here and I just love the options they offer. And who knew you could make a turmeric tea/latte taste great?! It's one of those places you really just have to try. Great little quite place for conversation with a friend or just to be by yourself in an excellent atmosphere.

    This is an adorable and relaxing place. I don’t drink coffee, but I stopped there for the food. My sweet potato sandwich was out of this world great! The prep time was quick and the service was outstanding. Definitely adding it to my go to list!

    So cute! The grilled cheese was tasty, and the chai latte was delicious.

    I went to the cafe for lunch last Friday with a friend. The owner’s mother took our order and chatted with us. She was so kind and accommodating to my request to turn the sweet potato sandwich into a salad while making it completely plant-based. When they served our food she told me she wanted to make sure the salad was substantial enough so she included little bowls of hemp hearts and walnuts — so kind and thoughtful! My friend absolutely loves the cherry tomato flatbread. Add in the cozy atmosphere and it was the perfect lunch!

    Stopped in today for lunch. The food was delicious. Staff was super friendly. Loved the decor. Outdoor seating area was simply lovely. Will definitely be back.

    I ordered a Chai, quiche, and scone for breakfast and the scone was one of the best ones I have ever had. The quiche was light and had deep flavor. I felt as though my own mother had made me the breakfast! And the the chai was perfect, not overly sweet like a lot of these other coffee shops! I wanted to try this place because I'm staying in the Airbnb right next door. It did not disappoint! What a lovely, cozy place :)

  • 5/5 Kelsey V. 6 months ago on Google
    Ordered the vegetarian hash & a pour over hazelnut latte with oat milk to-go and it was absolutely delicious! Fresh & healthy tasting, yet very satisfying. Will definitely be trying more items from here!

    Amazing food!! Very interesting flavors combined and wonderful environment. Really expanded my palate and made me realize I like sweet potatoes after hating them for years.

    Such a cute hole in the wall type of place! Small and vibey and everyone is super friendly and perfect place to sit and do homework or just relax. I would recommend to everyone

  • 5/5 Moriah H. 1 year ago on Google
    This place was so charming! They have lovely outdoor seating when it’s nice. The staff was so friendly and truly some of the best food I’ve ever had! Delicious flatbreads and sandwiches, wonderful vegetarian options. I also loved the mulled plum tea.

  • 5/5 Zaxyz K. 1 year ago on Google
    A very cute, and well laid out place The food is well thought out and full of flavor, the way she combines flavors is unorthodox but yet very pleasant. The owner is an absolute peach and you are greeted with a smile everytime Highly recommend it Also they use acoca coffee which is one of my favorite coffee places EVER

    Server was super friendly and very helpful. The coffee was great and the food looked (and smelled) so yummy! I only had the delicious lemon bar this time but I will back for more!

  • 5/5 David W. 2 years ago on Google
    Great small shop ambience. Great tasting coffee. My favorite cold brew in Appleton. Excellent food option with nothing comparable in area. Owner is personable and a pleasure to chat with. Overall great experience

  • 5/5 Mac J. 4 years ago on Google
    Great addition to the neighborhood! Very serene and relaxing interior, strong coffee, and some tasty crustless quiche. Looking forward to returning soon! ☕️

  • 5/5 Paul S. 2 years ago on Google
    Very intimate neighborhood coffee shop, wonderful ambiance, world class bakery items. It's very small with limited seating, but something about the place is just magical.

  • 4/5 Rachel P. 2 years ago on Google
    Really cozy space, with nice outdoor patio seating. The staff seemed to know many of the customers and were really warm and welcoming. Older staff were patiently teaching younger staff about the job. Overall, a great place -- I just don't recommend coming here if you are in any kind of rush :)

  • 5/5 Kathy K. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely cafe. Shannon makes a great pour -over and serves delish baked goods. Definitely THE place for coffee and pastries in Appleton historic area. The lunch items listed were very tempting as well, wish we could have tried them!

  • 5/5 Chris M. 2 years ago on Google
    Great food, good coffee, fun staff. The sandwiches are amazing, the drinks are pretty good too. Going again tomorrow. It's going to be my new local secret favorite places
