Amazing place and food! The 2 gals working were so wonderful! They made everything themselves. Best bagel sandwich! Great coffee and smoothies.

You MUST try the Grown Up Grilled Cheese sandwich!! Three cheeses, bacon, sauteed onions, and avocado...heaven. And the bread is so delicious. I can't bring myself to order anything else, it is so good. I have tasted the wild rice chicken salad, though, and it is scrumptious, too. I just can't pass up the grilled cheese.

I don't drink coffee but alot of people says that their coffee is good here. They also have smoothies and other non coffee drinks for people like me. They sweets like cakes and other pastries. The thing that i like about this place is the books that i can read. The service is great, the food and drinks are great too.

This is a nice coffee shop that has some food items and a used bookstore on the inside. Very quaint feeling with art of the walls for sale. I got a regular coffee and avocado toast. The food was made fresh and the coffee was tasty. Def would visit again

It’s a cafe with a bookstore! There’s also art and local crafts scattered around too. Fun place to check out. Chill vibes. Staff is nice. Drinks are delicious. Food is good. Plenty of seating. There is a separate meeting room with a long table that looks to fit 8 people. There’s also plenty of parking outside. Cake is ok, would not get again. The cake part is tasty but the frosting is pure sugar and no other flavors (not even vanilla came out!). It’s like eating a spoonful of sugar. One of them was grainy in texture. Would have loved it if it was a french buttercream frosting because the cake itself is good. Could just be my personal preference (prefer a buttery buttercream vs straight sugar). Overall I would come back for everything else. It’s such a unique cafe!

I found this cute cafe and bookshop while in Wilmar for a day. It was the perfect spot for lunch--it was busy but not crowded, and the food was great. I ordered their special of the day, which was a pub panini (ham and cheese on a pretzel bun). Yum! It was fun to browse the bookshelves lining the shop while waiting on my food. I would visit again!

A lovely dining option in Wilmar. I love the atmosphere and the food was good! They have seasonal dishes with super fresh ingredients. My only complaint would be the sandwich meat they use, but the marmalade goat cheese in my sandwich was divine. They have lots of coffee options, bubble tea, salads, and breakfast options. They also have a Novel Idea onsite, tons of books for you to purchase!
