In Short
This jewel-sized cafe lures in patrons with a cozy, art-strewn interior and an expansive exterior--tables perch on the front and back patios, as well as on the heated porch. A standard espresso and hot tea menu takes center stage, with fresh baked goods from Guglhupf Bakery on the side. Also served: a small, thoughtful selection of wines.

I LOVE their coffee. It's the very best in the area. I love the ambience as well. It feels like you're somewhere completely different than North Carolina. BUT, beware if you stop by during the day with your kids, even if you sit outside, other patrons will glare at you. My small children are very well-behaved, and we have always made sure to sit outside, but that has not been enough to pacify the sit here all day with my laptop set. Too bad. It's a great place.

While the coffee is wonderful and for the childless customer may be worth tolerating the dogs of the regulars that roam free around the great atmosphere, I strongly encourage any one with children or a desire to be treated politely by the staff to stay away. I had a terrible experience where my daughter was almost knocked over by a "regular" while trying to look at the dogs and when I said something to her she denied it and her male friend cussed me like a sailor at the top of his lungs in front of my 2 year old who was terrified. Basically the response from the staff was that the regulars can do what they want and that certainly seems to be the case. If you really must have good coffee, and I sympathize, leave your children supervised in the car and get it to go or try the owner's other shop in Carborro.
