Visited 2/7/26 9am I'm an out of towner, but I could definitely tell this is a much-loved local spot. The cafe had many options, quick service, and everything was tasty.

Near LITTLE book store with small cafe. Many different genres of books along with miscellaneous items to purchase. Prices seem reasonable. Half of building is small cafe with food and drink.
