I’m part of the Sippy club and the place is great fireplace. The lady behind the register was totally cool. Gave her my number she gave my cup. Instructed me where to go so just like home. The Internet was good. Coffee was great. It truly is a nice stop I’ll be back and being from Chicago. We’re kind of spoiled in this place fit fit the bill. Thank you.
