A beautiful tiny Roman Catholic church building from about 1912, decommissioned in the 1970s and beautifully restructured inside to house the current cafe. Be sure to go upstairs to the former choir loft to see the old confessional and other antiques. Note that while coffee is served here, it is not a coffee shop. The emphasis seems to be on lunch. Our kids loved the smoothie. They do not accept credit or debit, only cash or etransfer. We will certainly come here again and recommend it to others!

Loved this quaint place! The buttercups were great as was the soup of the day. The atmosphere is delightful and we appreciated having a charming coffee shop to visit. So done with all the chain stores! This was a special treat and we even purchased a few beautiful items as memories! Thank you.

What a cool little place! A small old church renovated into a 2-story little cafe/gift shop. Very simple menu, but homemade food and sweets that were very tasty! The owners are very cordial. Loved this stop!

A very unique experience, because they made a coffe out of a church and managed to get a really cosy atmosphere. They are also very warm and friendly people.

The owner is a wonderful woman who has put a lot of time into restoring this old church into a beautiful cafe. A wonderful place to enjoy a hot beverage and snack, it's a hidden gem for those that find it! It also happens to be a great place to have 32 students write a geology exam in early May.

Very cozy and warm atmosphere. Nicole was very friendly and invited us to walk around their little church and take pictures. Our food was also delicious and unusually cheap. We're glad we stopped by.
