Lovely local coffee shop. Great people. Simple menu. Worth a stop when you’re in TC and/or visiting The Commons

The Flower Power latte was splendid! The service was friendly & prompt, my drink(s) were made quickly even with the steady shuffle of people coming through. The music choice was top tier & the seating options were perfect for a brief visit. I’ll definitely be back to try more of their seasonal offerings ☺️🌸🐝🌟

This small cafe is kind of hidden in the old hospital buildings, but it’s worth seeking out. The coffee and atmosphere are both very pleasant, and I’d definitely recommend it. The wood and plants give it a relaxed, natural vibe, and the staff seemed equally at ease. Our drinks were ready fairly quickly however, and we got seats at their long table without any wait. They have some cool things for sale from Palestine including olive oil and other spices too. I got some chili paste called shatta that turned out to be absolutely delicious. It’s a good place to pass some time at.
