Comments: They have cinnamon rolls, and they are glorious. I suspect they have the same supplier as Coffee Republic because they taste very similar, and I mean that in the best way possible. These are very, very good cinnamon rolls. Well-sized. Large. Rotund, even. You’re getting your money’s worth. The roll itself is baked well, meaning it has that amber color to it, so it softens when warmed, but not so much that the integrity of the roll falters under the weight of the icing. Yeah. I like cinnamon rolls.

Anyway, the coffee shop itself is nice. Very comfortable seating. It’s mostly couches and armchairs, then a string of bar-style seating with excellent access to outlets. There’s also a covered outdoor patio area you can expand to on warm days. The music is great, which I say as a Christian myself given that their playlist follows that theme, and the staff is very friendly.

I don’t drink coffee, so I can’t tell you how it tastes, but people look happy when they leave here, so I assume it’s good. The lemonades are really good as well. Also, I once ran into a group of women hanging out here to fill out coloring sheets in one another's company while sipping coffee. I thought that was as wonderful use of a third place. I can't remember when last I filled out a coloring sheet, I was tempted to join them!
