I was visiting NC and this was the first place I came. The atmosphere is great. I love the decor. And the owners who were both working that day were fantastic! They made great conversation and were laid back and easy to talk to. I had an Espresso Martini which was DELICIOUS. I could not have had a better experience. I ended up back the next day.

I love this spot! If I were local, this would be my go-to spot for coffee. I had an Irish Cream today which I highly recommend but didn’t think to snap a photo till it was already gone. Very cool local hang.

Our usually first stop on our Franklin nerd crawl. Cool place for coffee, drinks, and live music occasionally. A small game space at the back hosts a few popular board games.

Was very excited to make this review. Came here last year when I was in town visiting, and absolutely fell in love! Such a great atmosphere. Wonderful staff. Live music, lots of games, wonderful menu. Love that the locals keep their favorite mug on the wall. Great little find !!

I walked in with 18 wanting a coffee. Ended up wanting a quiche, bellini and a coffee total was just over 18. I felt bad not being able to tip and was going to skip the bellini. The awesome owner/bartender extraordinaire said, nope, get the bellini, too thank you so much. I'll be back for sure Edit to add a picture of the quiche. I'm so happy it's a full mini tin! AND my white mocha breve was served HOT! and it is divine. thanks Signed, A weary traveler who feels better after this stop

Great little coffee shop and bar. I had an affagato and it was great. I really like all the flags on the ceiling and the live music was great. A very chill atmosphere
