| - This little coffee shop is adorbs. Yes, I just used that word and yes, I am totes okay with it! Who woulda thunk that an uppity small town like Chardon could house such a quaint and homey coffee shop? Not me! But, it made the flea market trip that much better!
Nestled right in the heart of Chardon square in between antique shops is this cute little coffee shop. The name is simple, but it really fits the feel you get when you walk in. Love the logo on the front window and the patio outside is quaint.....giving you a nice view of this historic square and fantastic architecture of the buildings around it. Walking inside you are smacked with the smell of fresh roasted beans. That is right folks, these people roast their own beans. Sweet mother of monkey milk, the smell inside is fantastic. I could stay for hours soaking up that sweet coffee roasted goodness.
Plenty of seating throughout...which is nice to see in a small town establishment. Plenty of tables for groups and a nice intimate leather couch/chair arrangement near the front windows. Tons of natural light make this place bright and cheerful. Basic decor but truly effective. Love the architectural nuances of the original structure. Gives it lots of charm. Clean bathrooms make my heart smile. A whole star for this place being really clean.
Ordered some food and really enjoyed it:
1) Cheese omelet: Light and fluffy and cooked to perfection folks. The chicken would be proud. Just the right amount of cheese too!
2) Muffin top: Ok, this thing is more like a cake. IT IS HUGE! I did not eat this, but I will tell you that those who split this (yes, it is THAT BIG) said it was absolutely awesome. It was describe as fluffy, flavorful and super moist. Sounds good to me!
The menu here is small but effective. Healthy options and things that can be made healthy. I was genuinely bummed they offered nothing to the gluten free crowd. A trendy and hipster place like this really should. They lose a star for this. They have a large dessert case and could easily slip in a few items. Plus, GF bread is easy to get your hands on and can be frozen! I would like to see more salad and veggie options, but really.....I do not go to coffee shops for salads. That is why I said I want GF desserts! Coffee and dessert are like peanut butter and chocolate.
Overall, a great little place! When in the area, I will be back!
