Comments: Sits in a converted house with some seating inside, but plenty outside, and all of it rather cozy. It’s a similar vibe to Brakeman’s in Matthews. Has that homey community gathering spot feel, in part because it’s literally in a home, but also because they host plenty of events and gatherings for various groups in the area.

It's a relaxing spot, down to the easy listening/folk music they usually have playing. There are enough spots indoors near outlets to hang out here for remote work if you come in the morning when you'll have your pick of the place. And there's plenty of parking behind the building.

But most importantly, they have cinnamon rolls 🙏. Not the cute bite sized kind, proper fully formed cream cheese frosting cinnamon rolls, and they are sublime. Sometimes they switch things up and do special flavor cinnamon rolls. I've caught a peach cobbler flavored one here before. It was otherworldly. Made me sing hallelujah.
