GRAB A CUP OF COFFEE
Cozy up with a warm and freshly brewed cup of coffee on a winter morning!
Check out Gypsy Bean Coffee Shop whose rich roast is up for sale alongside sweet treats and savories made by local bakeries. This also a great spot to grab some insta-worthy pictures, as it’s incredibly aesthetic!
Take a long sip of Southern Ground Coffee Shop, the perfect spot for pastries, specialty drinks, frappes and of course, freshly brewed coffee.
Mix it up over at The Java Hut & Creamery, where you can grab yourself a much needed cup of coffee and for our cold weather enthusiasts, a bite of Simply Natural Creamery’s ice cream.
