"Got an iced white mocha and it was delicious! Owner has a lot of great ideas and plans for what’s to come, excited to try their desserts when they drop too!"

"Excellent products. Wonderful, attentive staff who DEFINITELY know their craft. I was going to share a photo of my Caramel Craze Frappé, but I drank it too fast. It was THAT good."

"This place SERIOUSLY rivals AND BEATS all the big box coffee shops. The service, the atmosphere is all top notch. The last couple visits I ask Summer (who is AWESOME) to surprise me and I’ve not been disappointed with the selection. Definitely check out this hidden gem downtown LaPorte while you’re out shopping or just enjoying your summer. You’ll be back! 😋☕️"

"Super cute place! The vibes were awesome and the food/coffee was delicious. We definitely need more places like this in Laporte. As someone that came from the Valpo/Chesterton area, this cafe was familiar and awesome. My son said his Oreo Bundt cake was the best cake he’s ever had. My daughter loved her strawberry cupcake too! I had the Cinnamon Bun iced latte and let me tell you… waaaay better than anything you could get at Starbucks. I was shocked at how good the drink was. I also got a lemon/blueberry loaf and it was delicious. I mentioned how much I loved it to the young woman that was working and she gave me another slice for free! Definitely my new favorite place. Please go visit! You will not be disappointed!!!"
