"we chose the restaurant because of its location and because we wanted seafood. it was close to our hotel (the hilton) and eating was nothing extraordinary and the prices were not cheap so we expected a little better than we got. the main reason for my low rating was that service was terrible. there were barely tables in the restaurant and yet our server could refill us within 30 minutes after our drinks and our main courses lasted over an hour. They did not seem to have good service/table managment skills as they would serve the table 2 of us, but not even check on us after reviewing on them and was only able to do a thing at a time when they served us. for example, instead of our drink and app order (we knew the app we wanted because it took them over 15 minutes to get for our beverage order) they only got our beverage order and ran away before we voluntarily ask our app. and, instead of even considering that we like to order dinner when we ordered our app to complete it again, so we do not. as our appetizer finally helped about 40 minutes after sitting the food runner and got us another round drinks. our server was simply inconspicuous and not available. she said something about another table in a next room, but when I got up to find them at one point, there were no tables in this room. she just seems to be training. I know it's hard to find good help in these days, but investing in training through the restaurant would help those who find them to work to better serve. as server for many years I know that there are possibilities to make their efforts more efficient. unfortunately our server did not receive this insight. If we were in any kind of hurry, it would have been worse. please train your personal cafe blue!"

"Excellent, adorable cafe with good coffee, great atmosphere, friendly employees, good customer service, good food. Vegan options readily available humus wrap simple but really good! Super thrilled, most restraunts in Chapin don't have any vegan options. Great vibe in their too. Fancy espresso machine. Fruit when I went was strawberries and blueberries which was nice, usually fruit sides at restraunts are cheaper fruit than berries. All food was very fresh and we did not have to wait long after ordering to receive it.Only think is seating is a bit limited inside, but as long as it's nice outside or you go when they are not busy you're good! Maybe if they got some of those outdoor heaters or plastic walls it would help the outdoor seating in the winter? Idk those can look kinda eh and are not entirely useful and wouldn't want to kill the beautiful vibe.A bit pricy for food at coffee shop over $50 for 3 adults but worth it plus I'm willing to pay a little more to a small business than to big corporations.Vegetarian options: Humus wrap is vegan/vegetarian and very good, they might have other veg friendly stuff too, I stopped looking when I found the humus wrap on the menu bur apparently they have vegan chili too?They have 3 different plant based milks soy almond and oat I think, or maybe it was soy almond and coconut for vegan/dairy free coffee beverages, I think there is a $0.60 ? upcharge for those though."
