Great little local coffee shop. We had between us: iced coffees, smoothie, scone and breakfast sandwhich. Everything was yummy. Staff were friendly. The shop is really cute. Prices were competitve.

This charming coffee house in the historic town of Berlin, MD, never fails to impress. The customer service is consistently exceptional, with the staff always going above and beyond to make me feel welcome. Their turmeric latte is, without a doubt, the best I’ve ever tasted—smooth, creamy, and perfectly spiced.

The homemade chocolates are another highlight; you can truly taste the care and quality in every piece.

Whether you’re popping in for a quick coffee, a leisurely breakfast, or a delicious pastry or chocolate treat, the cafe’s inviting atmosphere and top-notch quality make it a standout. It’s my go-to spot for coffee, and I highly recommend it!
