A recent review:
“Excellent coffee shop downtown! Very nice atmosphere with big windows and views of downtown. The place has an elevator of you don’t want to tackle the stairs. Their selection of holiday coffees were fun. We had “The Best Cup of Coffee in the World” with a tip of the hat to the movie Elf. Very smooth coffee with a bourbon brown sugar sweetener. Breakfast burritos were fantastic with excellent salsa Verde, guacamole, and pickled red onions on the side. The orange cranberry scone was a good after breakfast nibbler as we finished our coffee. Sherman has a few good coffee places and some good breakfast places, but rarely both. This gem hits all the boxes. Highly recommend.”
