This place and the employees are top notch! After the first visit they new my name, and have greeted me by it each time I have come in since. The coffee is great, the pastries have been great. This place is out of the way for me, but it is totally worth the drive for the friendly ness and they way they make me feel when I come. I recommend it to my friends all the time.

Spot is located inside of a church so missed it the first drive by. Staff was very friendly and helpful. I ordered a sweet potato loaf and a large latte that they took extra steps to make it the way "I" wanted. homemade pastries were delicious and coffee was great. I will go back again.

I recently started drinking coffee so I asked a bunch of questions and Cozy (not sure if spelling is correct) was very patient and helpful. She helped me select the perfect coffee. It was amazing. They have so many sugar free options. The space is perfect for meeting with friends or relaxing by yourself for a short break. Although it's in a church, no one was promoting church stuff so don't rule this out due to its location. I will be back here frequently.

We have been loving going here. The atmosphere is nice and friendly. The drinks are great! People are friendly. They have games and cards you can play. It has become a regular spot to hang out. I used to be a regular at Starbucks. Everyone in my group agrees that the quality is better here. If you haven't made the time to patronize this establishment... I highly recommend you give it a try!

When I walked into this coffee shop, I loved how Natalie asked “Is this your first time!” Because usually I walk into a place and tell them it’s my first time to get their recommendations. Natalie delivered me an awesome coffee and experience. She was kind enough to ask me my name, go over the menu , and provide me recommendations based of my likes and dietary needs. I don’t think I’ve ever experienced lol any coffee shop experience like that in my life. I got the Higher Groundz Mocha frozen and the most delicious red velvet cookie I’ve ever had in my life! If I could give this place 10 stars I would and best part it’s right across from my office. Probably just canceled my Starbucks rewards today thank you Natalie for making me feel warm and welcome ! I will be back!!!

Super friendly service. I got their higher groundz mocha. Delicious. It may be a bit tricky to find. They're located on the lower level of the Zion church sign entrance. Just follow the signs.

My new favorite spot when I need to recharge (and I don't just mean the caffeine fix). Beautiful staff here who care about coffee and the Lord, and an excellent spot for community gatherings, religious or not. Skip Starbucks and support local!

This is a Hidden "Gem". Warm, friendly, and inviting....and that's just the coffee. The staff top notch too. Great for small or large meetings. Lots of flavors, and the prices are very affordable. Ample parking is also available. Try them sometime.
