Roman Exprés Café
Coffee shop
👍👍 Wanted to try out a new coffee shop and landed here for their soft opening! They're just getting started so it's a little bare but everything is spic-and-span. They let me know that there is more furniture and décor on the way. Besides that, there is big potential here, especially with how good the...

Plain Talk Books & Coffee
Cafe
👍👍 Loved the atmosphere and coffee, needs more comfortable furniture tho so i can enjoy my books. I didn't like the stinky water that they were using on the beautiful wood floors, but other than that it was great I like the set up very cozy! And people were nice.

NOSH Cafe and Eatery
Cafe
👍👍 Nosh is easily one of my favorite local (and women-led!!) shops in town. I think about Nosh way too much honestly (so says my wallet). They have amazing smoothies: try the blue dream or the Carrot-ginger-turmeric or if they are still doing the chocolate cherry with chocolate Hanna Valley Protein pow...

👍👍 This place is an absolute hidden gem!
Note: They are currently in a “soft launch” and brand new, so for anyone reading this - Their Grand Opening will be in September, so before you review keep in mind there may be some steps along the way for them to ramp up 100% to their Grand Opening!
