Good service and atmosphere. Their lunch menu is tasty. The one negative that was really disappointing is that their coffee tasted like water with cream. It’s the weakest coffee I’ve ever had outside of Army coffee. Other than that, it was great.
Excellent traditional cappuccino day after day. Customer service is excellent and the place has a unique charm and vibe. Great place to grab a bite for breakfast or lunch and enjoy the atmosphere. Take time to inquire about the pottery classes and enjoy learning a new skill. The owner, Jeff, is friendly and willing to answer questions and help you get started. Take a trip to downtown Neosho and check this little gem out. You won’t be disappointed.
My daughter and I stopped here today for lunch - sure glad we did! Very relaxing and unique - food and coffee was amazing, loved the pottery serving dishes and coffee cups, and staff was so nice! And loved the outdoor patio; will definitely come again our next time through and recommend to others!!!
Such a Good Vibe and great coffee! I've always looked for a good cup of coffee/tea and this place hits the spot. Will spend hours here doing work and just enjoying the quiet/vibe while enjoying a good cup. Service is friendly and they also have many cool art/items for sale!
Such an unassuming, small, in a "nowhere" town that pulls excellent coffee. They all have always done it to perfection. Their food, whole simple, is also excellent. The huge homemade oatmeal cream pies are to die for. We love the staff as well, super nice and attentive.
The smoothie was really good. The girls were friendly and prompt with their service. It was a cute little shop with some very interesting pottery pieces. It wasn't terribly expensive either.
This is a nice coffee shop. I was really surprised that downtown had two coffee shops. This coffee shop was a little cheaper than the other. Didn't get coffee. Got a fruit smoothie which was okay, the strawberry didn't come out. Next time we come, I look forward to trying a latte or breve
