This place is the truth. Kristen and her staff maintain an awesome vibe and energy. I didn't even know what sourdough bread was before I went here and now I constantly get their breakfast sandwich on it. It's amazing. Go here.

Love this place! We visited from out of town, they use clean healthy ingredients! The Long fermented sourdough was so good they also have all fresh food including farm fresh eggs, latte with honey was amazing! It’s small but the owner and staff is extremely welcoming and friendly, 10/10 recommend!! Also have a lot of gluten free options!

Recently moved to Harborcreek and I was SO THRILLED to find this local coffee shop!! The ladies take pride in what they’re doing, and it shows. The loaded avocado toast was perfect! I got the everything seasoning, but Tajin is available too. Cute gifts, cozy atmosphere and a fun little gem in Lawrence Park!! You can pre order sourdough online or in person, and we plan to!

The sourdough is the best bread and coffee! I stumbled across the cafe on Google Maps, and after seeing the photos, I made a point to stop. I am so happy I did. We had a great lunch and coffee. The owner, Kristen, is lovely and welcoming. We even got to talk sourdough bread! She is a great baker!

This place is wonderful! Kristin and staff are very sweet. I got an Avocado Toast with eggs and an Erie Special latté. Both were rich, but not overly, and the coffee was smooth and flavorful. Hubby got a Hawaiian Panini with Hot Honey, and said it was perfectly proportioned and delish. We got a Cranberry Suite Chip Scone to share, that was awesomely crunchy on the outside. We really enjoyed the homey atmosphere, and the goodies for purchase. We will be back again (and again).

My friends and I got coffee and food here and it was good overall. We are big fans of the sourdough! The plants and decor are gorgeous. The iced lattes tasted amazing. We did have a few issues. One of us got a panini that came out cold. The other two of us had our food come out warm, but the bagel seasoning was forgotten. There desperately needs to be an A/C and a fan in here. All of us love this place and will come back, but I hope the feedback helps
