we’re from out of town and stopped by this local cafe on a road trip and the employees were so nice! they answered my coffee questions and let us take time to order and give us recommendations. the scones are so good! we got the happy camper and maui wowie. blueberry scone was delicious, not too sugary we went through the drive thru but it looks small and cozy inside

Great little coffee shop. They have a drive thru and inside service with seating for eight. We got breakfast sandwiches, scones, and a quiche, which were all great. Service was quick, and their specialty drink I had was delicious, snickers candyland latte.

This place is a very good café if you live in Kalama, Washington. I ordered the bacon sandwich and the Earl Grey. The food was solid and the drink was good to keep me awake. If you are dining in here though, the space is very cramped and the tables are close to each other. Overall, very solid café and has delicious food to eat. I would come here again.

Raspberry latte and lavender latte with almond milk excellent. They made me an egg and cheese breakfast sandwich without meat. Also, ordered a bagel with cream cheese, was ok. Bagel flavours are plain, everything, and cinnamon raisin.

Wow, they had so many fun, coffee drinks, and so many delicious looking pastries. It was just a welcome respite in a sea of tiny drive-through coffee places. So much thought went into this place and the women who work there were absolutely lovely.

Was passing through Kalama when I stopped here. THIS WAS THE BEST COFFEE IVE EVER HAD!! I’m so sad I don’t live here so I can enjoy it daily. The ube latte was everything I wanted and more. My husband got the Martian mocha and said it was the best he’s had too. The scones are to die for and there’s so many flavors. The ladies at the window were so helpful and nice! 10/10 recommend and I’ll be going out of my way to come any chance I get. Thank you!!

Delicious chia tea latte and ham breakfast sandwich. You can tell the baked goods are made on site, scones are so good! Been to this site before and it was ok but the new ownership has stepped up the quality. Nice to have a good local coffee/tea spot with freshly made food to support.

Amazing customer service with fabulous smiles! Blended dirty spiced Chai is so very wonderful! Don't forget to try a scone, had a peaches and cream and loved my choice! Next time I will have to try the triple berry! A easy stop on a I-5 north bound trip!
