I absolutely love this gem. The coffee is great, the service is great, the atmosphere is great. I come by whenever I'm in town -- definitely worth the stop!

The best coffee shop in Salina (and not too far off the path for travelers just passing through) I had the best breakfast burrito of my life here this morning! The baristas were completely knowledgeable and made my macchiato perfectly. While you’re here you have to take a stroll downtown.

Fantastic coffee shop! I love the space and ambiance here. The staff was incredibly friendly, helpful, and fun to talk to! I tried a lemon blueberry gluten free scone and chai tea. Wow! I’d highly recommend this place!
