This is an excellent local coffee shop. It has been a staple of Oswego for over 20 years. A must see if you're in the area for a visit! The new location is in the lower level of an old church. Great outdoor area with seating.

It was so nice to see a favorite spot living on, even if it was in a different location. Now with even more whimsy, we had a lovely little adventure with some blueberry iced coffee, some delicious muffins, and a not pictured refreshing lemonade. Oh, and the greeter should definitely get a raise. 14/10, we will definitely be back again!

This cute coffee shop is nestled inside of a refurbished fire station which features creative seasonal drinks and cozy decor. I ordered the Mochaccino. I enjoyed the smooth espresso coupled with notes of chocolate. My friend is a regular here, and they enjoy the fact that this shop uses coffee ice cubes for their iced drinks. Overall, this is the perfect spot to caffeinate while you investigate (ie. study)

New location, same great coffee! -- Unlike any other coffee shop in the world in that your iced coffee drink never gets watered down! You get coffee cubes to keep it delicious! Cozy shop, terrific coffee, amazing variety of flavors for your caffeine needs. Tasty treats and locally sourced goods. Best coffee shop around.

I have been to a lot of coffee shops all over the country, and this little local place is by far my favorite. From the gentle music playing in the background, to the adorable decor, ambient lighting, and the wonderful smell of dozens of coffee options to choose from, this place is welcoming and inviting the second you walk in the door. Then the employees are just absolute delights. I have never had a bad interaction here throughout my dozens of visits. And lastly, the coffee, dozens, DOZENS, of various coffees and teas to choose from. From long standing classics, to seasonal favorites, to new and adventurous flavors, there's something for everyone. So if you're waiting for a sign to try this place out, this is it! You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely the atmosphere I seek when looking for what coffee shop to visit! My vanilla lavender latte was great, the barista was extremely kind and the vibe was perfect. I live in Seneca Falls but my friends and I love to travel around to different coffee shops so I will definitely be bringing them here!

Such a sweet little coffee shop! We ended up here for a small event and the owner was absolutely precious. The shop has a great variety of food and beverages for all to enjoy. I love the cozy vibe - it would be my go to staple if I lived closer! We had an iced caramel macchiato for the road and it was absolutely heavenly. Can't wait to stop by again when we're in town!
