Little Wolf Coffee
Coffee shop
👍👍 I've had two different bags of Little Wolf coffee, and both are in the top 10% of roasts I've ever had (out of 100s of single origin coffee I've tried). Both were sweet, fruity, delicate Ethiopian washed coffees. I can't wait to visit the shop and try more!

Sandpiper Bakery

😠 Honestly, the food wasn't great, certainly not what I expected given some of these reviews, in particular the cookie I ordered was a bit stale. I went there, ordered some items and paid the final bill. After I left, I was going over the math in my head, it just didn't add up, it seemed too high. I w...
