Amazing gluten free vegan lunch. The ambiance of the place is a modern coffee shop feel. Staff are friendly and willing to accommodate anyone and their dietary needs. Sterling is lucky to have such a place

This place is a real treat. Tucked away downtown, it's one of those hidden gems that makes you search it out. Definitely give this place a go. And if you need a haircut, they do that too!

Food is stellar, my omlette was perfection and whichever mushrooms were used made it an 11/10. Coffee is usually a hit or miss at small cafés - the Krampus latte was a home run. We had fun browsing all of the trinkets while waiting for our order and took home a bag of goodies, all very reasonably priced. This will definitely make our list of places to frequent while in Sterling, worth a stop in!

The owner has to be one of the kindest souls i’ve ever met, with a heart of gold. she puts everything she has into this little place and she’s doing a damn good job. the food, to die for. the service, amazing & friendly. atmosphere, welcoming & safe. i recommend this little touch of home 100% to anyone looking for a bite to eat, to just sit and chillax!

Amazing food! They have done an amazing job with this place. It is cozy and welcoming. Not only is there food and drinks, but shopping as well! If you haven’t checked them out you should!

Yup, I Found My New Lunch Spot! Delicious sandwiches, pasta, and iced tea. I also got to shop in the front boutique while I was waiting. Beautiful place, with a super friendly staff. I will be back to try the Green Goddess smoothie!

I went with a Turkey Monterey panini and was not disappointed! The flavors melded together great and it was just the right size. Paired with a raspberry tea, it was a great Saturday brunch choice! I also loved the atmosphere of the shop inside and the employees were very friendly and helpful! I'll definitely be returning to try other panini combos!
