We parked in back and walked up the drive to the front door. There is a back entrance but there are a lot of stairs and I wasn’t able to walk them at the time. The drive was a smooth surface and easily traversed.

Upon entering the renovated house you are welcomed by the pleasant staff, a view of the grinding area, sandwiches presented in a well lit case and the usual selections of various coffees and teas. There are pictures of the renovation from house to coffeehouse on display.

Also on display are many postcards from Marcos Benetti as he travels the world. I enjoyed reading some of them. It made the visit feel very personal, like I was visiting people I knew.

There were several tables, all easily accessible. The acoustics allowed for reasonably private conversations. The only noise that was disruptive was when the beans were ground, but that was only once and for a short period of time, so not a real problem. I just hadn’t had my caffeine yet so that is probably why I noticed it. Near each table was plenty of electrical outlets so we could sit and use the internet access without fear of the laptop battery running down. This pleased me the most as we have been to many coffee houses that offer WiFi but no outlets.

For those pleasant sunny days, you can sit on the back porch.

Together we enjoyed a sandwich and coffee for under $15.00
