I just happened to be in Tallassee. This place is a remarkable hidden gem in a small Southern town. The atmosphere is comparable to any fine cafe, really ANYwhere. Prices are perfectly reasonable; service was very good; and wifi was abundant. I can't conceive of going through Tallassee again and not stopping here.

This little coffee house is amazing. Great atmosphere. Delightful service. Incredible coffee. I absolutely loved this coffee shop. It has a very cool look and feel. Great place for a date or hanging with friends. The staff is incredible and might be the friendliest service I've ever experienced. I would say this is definitely a must stop if you are in this area. Love it!!!

Just the best...maybe in all of Alabama (and beyond)...in all areas. Decor and atmosphere beckon you to stay and literally RESTORE. We come every chance we get. Love the staff, the creativity, the quality...especially the Tallassee mother location. Proverbs 11:25.

Patronized this wonderful coffee shop twice with my husband while visiting his mother. We try to find local places on our travels. From the moment we parked, we knew this was a local gem! Day one we got the 1949 and the True Value. Day 2 we had the Nuts and Bolts and the Irish Delight(seasonal). Both days my husband has a the cheese and fruit claw. The coffee is fresh ground. Menu is small but that allows for a more unique array of flavors and adds to the experience. This place is a must go! Love the old cars, furniture, and history behind the building. Staff is amazing! Both ladies at the counter remembered us from 2 days prior. This place makes you want to stay for hours. Games and puzzles available to relax and enjoy your time.

I make trips to Tallassee just to get the 1949 from here. Literally the best latte I’ve ever had. The staff is incredible. Every time I go in there are several people studying, playing board games, crocheting on the couch, or relaxing. You can tell everyone is super comfortable there, and it’s hard not to be with all the comfy couches. The interior is unique and absolutely beautiful. I hope this place is around for a long time.

Love this place! My husband and I come here to have our day dates. They have a small menu of food that includes a variety of muffins. Their drink menu also has a variety of drinks that can be made with several options of milk alternatives. The atmosphere is usually quiet. The restored cars, lounge couches and chairs make for a good environment for someone studying, talking, meeting or simply just enjoying a drink. For the majority of the staff to be young adults/teenagers, the customer service is exceptional! We drive 30minutes and past several coffee shops just to get here so that tells you how much we like it!! Sidenote: if you get the matcha, try it with pistachio syrup, good Lord it’s delicious!!
