"We came here as a party of 2 by a recommendation of a family member. We saw that on Saturday nights they either have a live band or karaoke. When we arrived, we saw there was a one way road with slanted parking and were able to find parking fairly easily. When we walked in, we saw it was pretty crowded and we were unsure if we could sit ourselves or if we had to wait to be seated. We ended up seating ourselves in the back tables where there were open chairs. When we sat down, there was no menu or place to scan to view the menu, only a QR code to sign up to sing karaoke. Once we saw a group leave the bar area, we moved to sit at the bar. Tonight ended up being karaoke night and the crowd was all mid-aged to older people. This place seems like a local type location as many of the patrons seemed to know the staff on a personable level. When we arrived at 8:30pm, it was packed and then died down about 9:30pm. I did overhear a staff member mentioned that it would pick back up again at 10:30pm. Once at the bar, we did not see any staff, but eventually a staff member arrived. She had been outside helped a patron who had hurt themselves outside. She was quick to get our drink orders and put in our food order. We ordered 2 breakfast shots, 2 miller lite, and 2 dirty Shirley’s. I did not see any drink special menus so I went with my go to drink and it tasted good. We ordered the loaded fries and it took about 20 minutes to come out. When they arrived, I was already disappointed because the fries were crispy with melted shredded cheese and very little bacon pieces. Loaded truly just meant the bare minimum added on top of the fries. We asked for ranch to go with the fries and I did enjoy the ranch. I didn’t end up eating about half the fries bc they were way too crispy to be enjoyable. I will say I did not have any of the other food items, so I only have this small window to base my food experience on. I only saw 3 staff members total throughout the night. A male cook and 2 female bartenders/waitresses. When we got the check, I was not sure how the prices were going to look like since we never saw a menu. It was a very reasonable priced. Overall, not the worst experience, but as someone not from the area, I would not come back again unless for a special event."

"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."
