Great local (read: not a bit corporate) coffee shop. I'd really love to give it a 5, but...
In my memory, this place was super cute and the coffee was delicious and I could have sat here forever. But...I drove like an hour to see two friends, so my positivity is possibly spilling over into my review.
So the coffee was great (cash only!). The place was really cute and decorated with a ton of small antique Christmas trees around. The bar and tables and such were also cute, and there was the lamp from "The Christmas Story" in the window!!! (Its in the same neighborhood as where the movie was filmed.)
It got a little weird towards the end. When we got there the place was almost empty. By the time we left, the tables were filling up, mostly with friends and family meeting up for Christmas (so cute!). Just as we were leaving we asked the barista to take our photo....and he said no photos were allowed inside (???). I had just taken a picture right in front of him, another girl was taking a photo, a mom took a picture of her kid.....? Really?
