The perfect quaint coffee shop vibe. Amazing coffee, but even better vibes. I just wanted to sit and read a book for hours. Sadly I can’t read. So I just listened to smut books on audible. Baristas were very kind and helpful. Bathrooms clean. I loved every minute.

I've been stopping here for years after loving this place while I lived in the PNW. It's always on my list to make it in when I visit and grab some beans to take home as well. It never disappoints! The Vanilla cappuccino taste like a perfectly roasted marshmallow and is delicious even to the last sip. Enjoy the stroll downtown if you get the chance before of after if you get your cup to go or even stroll to the waterfront 1 block away if it's a sunny day.

Great coffee and the Baristas were helpful, kind and attentive. The atmosphere felt more on the chill side and music was good. You could probably work here. Fun paintings and art on the walls. Tried their goat cheese pesto croissant and it was the bomb. We had their matcha latte with oat milk and a slightly customized mocha which was delicious.

This place serves real, traditional espresso and coffee. I got a cortado and my wife got a London fog tea which was very tasty. We got a breakfast bagel sandwich as well.. in my opinion it was very comparable if not better than whidbey island bagel factory itself. I was very pleased with my visit Saturday morning. Employees were kind. The back counter was clean. I was surprised to see they offered wine and craft beer in the later hours. I will definitely be coming back to this place when I don't want to make coffee at home!

Was looking for a comfortable spot to flip open my laptop while waiting - was pleased and surprised with the cool atmosphere but then blown away by the goat-cheese croissant and tasty pour-over coffee. Highly recommend. Well laid out for a solo stopover or for a lunch w friends.

I stopped by this spot in Mount Vernon for a coffee, and while I didn't try the food, the selection looked solid. They also offer wine, which adds a nice touch to the place. The atmosphere is fantastic—warm, inviting, and well-maintained. It can get a bit busy, but the staff is friendly, quick, and efficient. I also liked the unique glass cubbies near the entrance, which added to the aesthetic. Parking can be a bit tricky since it's in downtown Mount Vernon, with mostly street parking available. But overall, it's a great place to visit, whether you're grabbing a coffee, a bite to eat, or just enjoying the ambiance. Highly recommend!

Good coffee, low-key/friendly vibe, and decent sandwiches in what is clearly a local fave hangout. Around these parts, it seems well established that the food items take longer to make, and that one should enjoy the art and architecture while you wait. Don't come in here expecting the rapidity of a fast-food joint. They have meat, but offer up non-meat items without your even having to ask. I didn't see any plastic with our meal, and they seemed willing to take out reusable mugs. They did have plastic straws but not sure if they're compostable.
