The nicest coffee shop I've ever been to! This is walking distance from our place. The chai is SO good. We also like their breakfast sandwiches and green mango smoothie. There is also a small lunch menu but we haven't tried it yet.

Do you like Hard Cider? I do! Stem Ciders make their own ciders, I can't exactly tell you how they do it, but their ciders are not overly sweet like some of the ones you find at the store. They have a drier taste and easier to drink. And also all Gluten-free, if that's your thing.
AND, they also have live music, trivia.

First Draft has 40 beers/wine/cider on tap. You pour your own beer with a swipe card they give you when you get there. You can pour as little or as much as you want, it's measured and charged by the ounce. They also have small plates & sandwiches. I like the Crispy Brussel Sprouts!
