Today’s lineup includes:
☕ Fresh brewed coffee, lattes, espresso drinks & teas
🥯 Bagels & breakfast sandwiches
🍰 Coffee cake
🫐 Blueberry muffins
🍓 Raspberry almond muffins
🍫 Chocolate croissants
🫐 Blueberry cream cheese danishes
🍒 Cherry cream cheese danishes

Come hang out, skip the drive-thru, and see what’s new around the shop.
