At first I was hesitant to go here because its super hipster looking outside and Ive had bad experiences in the past with crap service and meh coffee. For me, a cafe should have good product and good service, I dont care so much about atmosphere. But I guess its nice when they get that right. This place is ON POINT with the looks though if youre going for atmosphere. Plenty of outlets by the looks of it too if you like to use laptop. Staff here is super friendly, they really know their stuff, and the quality was excellent. One of the best cafes around by a longshot. I recommend getting drinks to stay. Take the time to enjoy and have it served properly, you wont regret it! EDIT: tea selection looked interesting. If youre not into coffee there were some interesting things there. The shop sells a lot of random things too.

Im definitely coming back here, and am sad that its an hour from me. The town itself seems like its stuck in the 1880s in a good way. Walking in, immediately welcomed by the barista behind the counter. She talked me through any recommendations she had, and I ended up with a $5 caramel latte (all organic syrup) that is one of the biggest Ive ever had. Regular 3 prong outlets all along the wall, quiet atmosphere when I came on a monday, and I love the decor. Top notch service, amazing coffee.

Overpriced. Could not actually find regular coffee on the menu, so settled for tea, and still had to ask what was in half of their blends. My son wanted some icecream and out of their meagre offerings of 4 flavours, sold a single scoop of vanilla (wasnt labeled as such, so again had to ask) for over $3. I came to the conclusion that theyre selling "the experience" more than actual beverages.

Absolutely loved the interior. Crisp and clean with some personality. I had a traditional macchiato. Besides typical coffeshop offerings some retail space in the rear offers household items. Ice Cream will be available soon. High ceilings, large glass front windows. 2 staff members were very friendly and aware of activities in town.

Amazing! I loved it. I got a really great brownie, my sister a chocolate chip cookie and my friend some kind of almond/peach tart (I think). Coffee was excellent and staff is super nice and informative! Must try.

This place is perfect. Wonderfully simple and modern. The staff is friendly and helpful. Coffee is single sourced. Clean bathroom. Delectable treats. And cute merchandise. On top of it, Frenchtown is gorgeous!!

Really cool coffee shop with different coffee, tea, and hot chocolate plus a small store in the back. The single source Ethiopian put over was excellent.
