Came in for a meeting the other day and was blown away by how great this place is! The seasonal coffee was absolutely amazing — rich, flavorful, and the perfect pick-me-up. It's clear they put a lot of thought into their coffee offerings. On top of that, the service was top-notch. The staff was friendly, attentive, and made me feel right at home. What a gem we have here in downtown Winchester! Highly recommend it for anyone looking to enjoy great coffee and a welcoming atmosphere.

Very nice little cafe in Old Town Winchester. Atmosphere was charming, staff was friendly & attentive even though there was only one staff member at the time we visited, & I can confidently say it was one of the best coffees I've had. & as an added plus, they're lgbtq owned.
