Never been, but walked in other day, and was very leased. Got scrambled eggs, sausages, potatoes, and toast. It was packaged in a basket and was delicious.

Really cute family oriented cafe. Iced coffee is affordable and tastes unique. Right in Ayer downtown!

I love this place they really put in the best effort in making our food and drinks so delicious ! You can tell they actually care ! I got a hummus sandwich and it was absolutely delicious. The muffins were warm and fresh! Just honestly an adorable little place great service, great food and great atmosphere

Breakfast was made very quickly, even for our group of 6. The food was delicious. The Vermonter was a very tasty sandwich. Everyone in the group had compliments for their meal.

Such a cute combination of coffee shop, lunch place, bar/lounge, and local pasta/coffee seller. Lattes are tasty and medium-expensive. Also a painted piano outside.

Easy online ordering process, good coffee, pleasant atmosphere, and friendly staff. I’m a frequent flyer here and am very grateful to have them in town! My favorite quick breakfast spot. Thank you Markohs

Loved this place! Great decor - eccentric, fun, and spooky. A lovely place to hang out for breakfast or lunch. Service was friendly and very fast. Fair prices and good food. Looking forward to returning here. A few good vegetarian options and a variety of coffees and teas.
