Did not know this place existed! My only complaint is signs are needed to direct people not familiar with the area. With that said....top notch and unique! Several tables are under shade trees and there is also a large pavillion to be seated. I was one of 12 in a group and our service was flawless. The limited menu was great with perfect serving sizes. The lavender ice cream is unique and I advise everyone to try it. A perfect setting for a stress free luncheon.

The owners are delightful! The gift shop has the nicest items that are reasonably priced. We also enjoyed a delicious, blackberry lavender scone with lavender vanilla ice cream. This is a darling place. Go and enjoy the breeze and outdoor seating area.

Excellent service and so cute. Teamonade is just my favorite thing! Don’t forget to check out the gift shop also. Lots of local handmade gift items. This is a great seasonal lunch or small gathering place!
