"While en route to my destination in Maryland, I decided to make a pit stop to explore the historic homes on 4th street. To my pleasant surprise, I stumbled upon a charming Cafe and Bakery that caught my eye. Housed in a century-old home, the cafe retained many of its original features such as fireplaces, woodwork, light switches, and bells. Though I only ordered an iced latte, I had a delightful conversation with the friendly owners, who shared the fascinating history of the house. The cafe offers ample seating indoors, as well as a shady porch where guests can relax and enjoy views of the garden. This hidden gem is a must-visit on my journey. Skip Starbucks and give this place a try, you won't regret it!"

The atmosphere is maybe one of the best feature of this place, only second to the quality of the coffee. The cappuccino is to the level of those made in Italy, truly an excellent craft!

Today was my first time ever visiting your establishment, and I thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The hazelnut latte I ordered was delicious. The atmosphere was inviting and charming, with original architecture that I loved. The owner was very kind.

During our visit from out of town, we decided to try this restaurant. We were pleased with the quality of the coffee and found the girl who took our order to be very friendly. However, our experience was soured by the disrespectful behavior and unfriendly attitude of the female owner. We were extremely disappointed by the overall experience. View menu

They lost a customer. The wife should not be in any form of customer service. She’s not good with people. It’s not my first bad experience with her, I’ve seen it to other customers, but it’s my first bad personally. The husband on the other hand, he’s well worth the trip if you do decide to go. But the backhand of the wife’s personality, more so lack there of, and her being snippy, it ruins it all.

Best pastries and drinks in town! I love this place! The owners are super nice and everyone is so friendly. I come here when I visit my daughter who lives here. I tell everyone about this place. I highly recommend it! It's like a beautiful restored home and so cozy by the fireplace on the couch. It's like you're at home and lovely roses outside. The best ambience and great food and love the chai latte. So good!!!

Great place for rich, strong and flavorful coffee in a very beautiful historic home. We met the owners. The husband is the main barista and we spoke to the wife who was a very kind and she told us the history of the home and her dream come true of owning a coffee shop in her home. The coffee was so good we got a pound of coffee beans. Great atmosphere with outdoor seating on the porch. The pastries looked delicious as well. View menu

Will not return, customer service was subpar at best. After sharing my experience with a family member, they too said they had a bad customer experience at this place as well. Owner should work on his customer service skills. This business will hardly suffer from my review or lack of me being a patron nor would I want it to, I just feel that someone in a customer service position, mainly the owner of an establishment should be in check of their emotional demeanor

Such an amazing find! We got stranded in Williamsport due to bad weather, and found this little gem. Easily one of my favorite coffee shops I've been to on any of the 6 continents that I frequently travel. You will not regret a visit to the place! I only wish I had something like this local to where I live. Also, their Christmas scones are the best scones I've ever had! Came back a second day to buy all of the remaining pieces they had baked that day for our trip home.

"when we arrived, there were only 2 seats, but the host assured us that a table would be opened quickly as the seats are open at the bar. the service remained professionally attentive (no chit chat) so our drinks remained fully (and tasty) our order taken without needing more than a moment of break. the cocktails were kreatiw without being bizarre and were correspondingly expensive. while we came to dinner, that would be an excellent happy hour spot. the cocktail menu was paper, but the food menu consisted of a QR code that is a link to their online menu. only 2 of us have scanned QR codes with our current phones, so we had to surround them. even optimized for a phone layout, there is a reason that e-readers do not fit into their pocket. also, despite the flexibility that a web menu for real-time modification offers, the specials had to be read by the server. despite this small mängel, I didn't have to order over the website or download a special app! at least eating was phenomenal, just a short step from the high-end form (aka 5-star). the menu has a wide range of ethnic influences packed in the familiar Gastro-Pub Comfort food format (love these shiny rolls). we enjoyed an appetizer, entrees and both dessert specialties. every bite was a taste feeling - delicious all around. each piece of the service, taste and variety is enough to overshadow a possibly clobular menu, and together it is a recipe for regular return visit."
