Came here twice in two days for breakfast. The sandwiches and paninis were amazing. The pesto sauce they give with it was absolutely the kick of the breakfast. Gives such a delicious flavor to your sandwich. Late was good. The owner is a nice guy.

We went here for breakfast yesterday and it was delicious! I got the veggie breakfast panini and my husband got the Italian breakfast panini. Ingredients were fresh and very filling! The coffee was amazing! I love LavAzza and they specialize in it. They also have Oat milk and Almond milk for dairy alternatives. We will def be back!

They were very short staffed today. 20 minutes for a coffee butttt IT WAS SO WORTH IT! The food and coffee were amazing. I got the Italian breakfast sandwich and it was perfect. The pesto sauce/Mayo was a delicious addition. Both employees were super sweet and very apologetic about the wait. I am so impressed with the whole experience and will be back again!

Four egg ultimate Breakfast panini with Taylor Pork Roll was delicious, but how could anything with that name not be? The breakfast pesto was a great addition to the sandwich, not over powering and adds a nice tang. The lavAzza coffee was nice and strong but not bitter and perfect for a wake me up start to the day.

This is one of the places that serves Lavazza coffee. The veggie and egg panini is excellent, all the vegetables are or cooked. We found this place a few days ago, live an hour away and plan to come back.

I had the egg croissant, and it was delicious! The service was fantastic and we received our order fast. Will definitely make this a regular stop in the future.
