This place is way out of my way but I heard so many good things that I had to try it. You will not be disappointed. I cannot recommend this place enough. The employees are friendly. The service is quick and right on target. Thank you Seth for your assistance making my choices. The breakfast sandwich and pumpkin chai are the best I’ve had this fall season.

The atmosphere was magical at this coffee shop. Do everything Bagley transported me into Amish Times. That’s amazing service guys. Keep up the good work and the. Wonderful atmosphere. The barista made a frothy delicious cappuccino that I enjoyed ! Also the everything bagel what with creamed cheese on the top and sides. Sometimes I find it hard to Locate small businesses when I travel For work. Now that I know about this spot I’ll be back and recommend it to my customers. If you are a college student, you could even afford to eat here! The artwork hung upon. The walls is wonderful, and I think inspired by special people. Hella Good!!

New to the neighborhood, this place is a great addition. We went there for lunch and had fresh-made wraps and sandwiches. And the chocolate and peanut butter balls for dessert were heavenly. Staff there are doing an excellent job. We look forward to going again.

The breakfast sandwiches were excellent! Got a bacon one and two chicken sausage ones. The veggie cream cheese and the homemade focaccia were so good! The sandwiches also came with a side of berries as well. Mochas were great too! So glad this coffee shop moved into the area and now we have a local spot to go too! The coffee shop itself is adorable as well.

What a gem!!! I’m so glad I finally stopped at bustling coffee shop that is on a meaningful mission. There is even traffic light at the parking lot entrance to make in and out a breeze from either direction. The “pick your own coffee mug” feature also charmed me. I highly recommend the bakery items and the cooked breakfasts. It’s quite a spread!🩷. (You are welcome to use the photos💕)

What a pleasant place to stop for breakfast, lunch or coffee! Nice and quiet. Ample parking. Servers and front counter staff were eager to please. Enjoyed a lovely, dense Raisin Bran muffin and muffelata Sammy. We’ll be back… MOMic & MANDA

If it was possible to rate this place higher than five stars, JavaAbilities deserves it. We were greeted by Zach and his coworker Susan, who were so pleasant and cheerful. I had ordered an iced Chai Latte which was offered either spicy or sweet. The spicy Chai was probably one of the best I've ever had. The Wake Up sandwich was so fresh and was served with fresh blueberries and strawberries. Most of the tables had fresh flowers in vases, which I think is always such a nice touch that a lot of places don't have anymore. The restaurant even though it was busy, wasn't loud and was just the perfect place to visit. We'll definitely be back.

Great service, good food, and welcoming environment. Our family stopped by after an event as our usual go to coffee shop was closed on Sundays. We were pleasantly surprised by our service and meal. We tried smoothies (fyi they are more healthy and not super sweet), lavender lattes, Muffuletta, Grilled Ham & Cheese, Chicken Wrap.
