This is the place you go to if you want to feel like being around nice people, just fantastic staff. Coffee was good, comfy sofas, and the bagel and eggs were delicious. If you get the everything bagel check your teeth because you will have half of the seeds on display! Parking was around the corner since the street had minimal spots and the lot was full. I should have gotten the croissant and cookie but I was trying to save on calories. This is a family friendly place, meaning kids are around. If that's not your thing then just get your food to go. The bagels were so fresh!

A hidden gem (or two!) Craft Bakery & Cafe and Night Kitchen Coffee share a cute and cozy space that’s absolutely worth the stop. The staff are genuinely delightful and welcoming — the kind of people who make a place feel like home, even if you're just passing through. The cortado and chai latte were both fantastic, but what made the visit truly unforgettable was the kindness of the bakers, who helped this west coast traveler track down an east coast sourdough starter — from the very town where her great-great-grandparents settled in the 1800s. Great coffee, incredible baked goods, and even better people. Make a stop — you won’t regret it!

Lovely little coffee cafe! Their bread, bagels and pastries are made every morning (you can peek into the kitchen to watch for fun) and coffee beans are from Guatemala. They also have some sandwiches, smoothies and local artistry gifts for purchase. Super friendly staff!

Came at 7 am on a Wednesday. Got a double Cortado. It tastes good. Not overly milky like some. French toast scone, warmed up, made a great accompaniment to my coffee. The place is chill, clean, and nice lighting. Didn’t get the gentlemen’s name behind the counter but he was super nice. I also appreciated a local came in and started chatting like locals do. Reasonably priced for a good cafe.

My fiancé and I stopped in while running errands. The wait for the food was worth it! They have a small crew making fantastic meals. The biscuits, bagels, and pastries were worth all the carbs lol. The drinks were quickly made and well priced. Will be adding this to favorites list since moving here.

This place is absolutely off the charts! Stopped by on a whim for breakfast and coffee and had their bacon egg and cheese bagel breakfast sandwich! Holy crap! Possibly the best breakfast sandwich I’ve had in a very long time! Stop in and check out this local shop!

The cheddar biscuit with egg & bacon was absolutely amazing. Very large sandwich...ddf worth the money. Not a lot of seating but we were comfortable....large parties would have a problem. Intended to return the next day (Sunday) but it was closed
