We had a mocha, cappuccino, muffin, and breakfast sandwich that were all delicious and fresh! Also were tempted to pick up some knickknacks for sale at the counter including knitwear, Christmas cards, and ornaments. Would definitely come back here for breakfast again.

I stopped in around lunch time with my father. We ordered some turtle cheesecake, spiced apple cake and a layered carrot cake square with cream cheese icing and caramel. For drinks we each had a cafe mocha. Everything was delicious! My favorite had to be the Carrot cake square it was superb As for the drinks, we both agreed were delicious and will definitely be returning! Very friendly staff and great atmosphere of local art for purchase as well as books and games to play while dining in. Highly recommend!

This was recommended to me by a friend and as I am new to area have not been to River John. I am always on the hunt for a new place to go. It was a forty minute drive but so very worth it. Not only had a great snack and bacon sandwich and good coffee but always I got some great greeting cards. And other gifts. Such a pretty cafe and a great town . Very friendly people too.
