| - What you won't guess from the name is that the Coffee Shop is actually on a community farm called Agritopia. The farm has a story and has been there a while. The original stone farmhouse buildings are now used for it's restaurants, the Coffee Shop and The Grill.
For the Coffee Shop, definitely farm fresh and organic, simple and tasty, not fussy. Everything we ordered was very good. This is not a gourmet coffee shop, to me it's more of a farm styled urban café.
And they have cupcakes... I'm a fan of a good cupcake.
My shock was seeing that in fact, the lady working the kitchen line, was a face I recognized from Cupcakes Wars. She was very gracious and came around to take a picture with me. I had a lot of fun with that encounter since I'm a big fan of the show and had seen the episode she competed on.
Besides The Coffee Shop and Joe's Farm Grill (which I only saw walking past, separate building, same farm) , you'll see the community gardens, labeled plants growing everywhere, paths to walk on, very nice. They also have farmer's markets twice weekly.
I found the place to be charming, the food tasty, and the people very nice. Go visit the farm for breakfast, sit in it's historical buildings, admire the cool urban garden concept. You'll be glad you did.
Eat well and prosper!
