    Such a quaint and cozy atmosphere with plenty of seating—especially for groups. But holy crap, the cupcake I had was one for the books. First of all, just LOOK at it! I’m not one for chocolate and it was scrumptious! The buttercream was out of this world. I easily could’ve eaten 12 of these, because it was so perfectly flavored, and not overly sweet. The only thing you’ll be upset by is not coming sooner.

    This cafe is amazing! We stopped in just wanting some breakfast and they had plenty of options. We had the ham and cheese croissants, a lemon drop cupcake, and a passion fruit cupcake. All of which I completely recommend. The cupcakes had a filling inside that I wasn't expecting and it was delicious. We choose to get the cold chai latte and a hot mocha. They are good as well. I'm bummed that I don't live anywhere nearby!

    This place was recommended to me by a friend, and it did not disappoint! I walked in, and it was Bustling with positive energy! Everyone was smiling, the lady at the register was beaming ear to ear and making friendly conversation with customers whilekeeping the line moving! The chai tea is flawless and they have gluten free pastry options! I loved the decor, it's very cozy and lively! 10 out of 10 will recommend!!

    Such a lovely, cozy coffee shop I can't believe I just found. Huge windows keeping it bright, fun decorations, and and a homey feel. Also super friendly service (Lola was great!) going out of there way to bring a cheerful holiday spirit. Not to mention my drink (London fog, with Rishi tea) was excellent and super affordable. Will definitely be coming back to enjoy the space.

    If you have not been here you are missing a true local gem. They greet you with a smile and the service is second to none. The food and drinks are homemade by the owners own recipes and delicious. Starbucks is nothing compared to the experience at the Hillside. You're missing out. GO THERE!

    The iced dulce de leche latte was great. The opera cake was delicious. The atmosphere was so cozy. The service was friendly. Plus, it's inside an old schoolhouse, so it contains history. What a nice coffee shop

    I just love this spot! Probably the best Americano I ever had. It was perfect. Free cookie for Dad was a surprise bonus. Hubs and I shared a raspberry lime tart. Delicious! He s his fancy latte. Kids want to come back soon. Love the outdoor seating too. Ample parking now.

    Came across this little coffee shop about a month ago and I absolutely love it. The only bad thing is that they are closed on Mondays and Tuesdays! The coffee is so good. The staff is so friendly. They offer a punch card. The atmosphere is so cozy. My daughter absolutely loves coming here because every time they give her a complimentary cookie. I’m excited to try more items like their soups! Coffee and bakery are an 11/10
