Tasty Coffee

The last time we were in, I asked the staff for a recommendation, and I wasn’t disappointed in the least. I tried their Cafe Mia—a latte with honey, cinnamon, and vanilla. Just the right hint of sweetness and the subtle taste combination was delicious. If you aren’t sure what to get, give the Cafe Mia a try.
