We came into town for vacation and found this little cafe. The coffee and gelato were very good and the folks were extremely kind. The kid’s play area was a great addition as well.

This is such a cute little spot! I went here for the first time today for a breakfast date with my friend and it was so nice! The food and drinks are delicious, the service is amazing, and I love the vibe! I will definitely be visiting again. I ordered the breakfast bagel with the aoli and it was so so good. They have a wide variety of drinks as well. Very awesome spot!

This coffee shop is great if you have little ones. There is a small play area. It can get a little noisy. You may want to sit on the other side if you need to study or get some work done The coffee is great, but pricier than some other coffee shops. I normally order a large iced Caramel-Vanilla Latte. Two of these came to almost $19. The food here is good, but the sweets are AMAZING! It was a great afternoon pick me up. Overall, I’ve recommend this to anyone that Loves local coffee and a community vibe. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I finally had a chance to check this place out and loved it! I met a friend for a play date and the kids had fun playing in the play area and watching the fish while we chatted nearby. The kids liked this meals, my son got the French toast and I enjoyed some of it myself as well. My latte was great and very nicely presented. I liked the vibe and atmosphere a lot and look forward to many more visits!

Great atmosphere and great staff and great food! We loved coming to the old location and I am very happy with the new location. Everything is still great. Perfect place for all types of gatherings...friends, moms, studying. Super great for little children because they have a great kids area. I would recommend to anybody. Thank you!

A cute little coffee shop, right off 17! They had a variety of seating, including cafe style table and chairs and comfier lounge areas. Lots of little nooks for conversations with a friend or a coffee date! Kids play area was a highlight, the perfect for moms to get together and enjoy food and drinks while the kids play! All the baked goods looked fresh and delicious, I had a hummingbird cupcake which was perfectly moist and delicious! Highly recommend! I also got a black coffee and a cappuccino which were delightful, will be back!

My favorite little stop to meet clients and fellow business owners in the community has now come to my very local community. I am so thrilled that they are here and back in business. Definitely check them out. I had the opportunity to walk the new space last week and I think Persnickety Crane cafes fans will be happy with the new space.

Delicious chai latte. Brekki bowl, which you can customize, was delicious. Especially with hot sauce. 😁 Nice, spacious, atmosphere. With excellent service and nice people. Highly recommended.

Great cafe! I had the Blueberry Pancake Latte, and the berry muffin, both were fantastic! The vibe is light and fresh, plenty of table space and a great little play place for kids. Will definitely be back!

I will definitely be here again! Acai bowl was o it of this world, super yummy latte, and an amazing kids area! Between games for adults, a kids area that is open enough for parents to see yet closed enough that it almost blends into everything (and two rooms that are not connected to the kids areas) they have truly thought of everything!
