Biked to St Jacob’s and found this small coffee shop and ice cream place. Had a cappuccino and a slice of the lemon cake, both delicious. The young woman serving was excellent, very friendly and helpful, checked which milk for the cappuccino and gave me a China cup when I told her that I’d stay in. There was a water station too where I could refill my water bottle. I will be back to try some of the breakfast sandwiches .

Lovely cafe in this peaceful, rustic town. The coffee is above par and so comforting on a nice summers evening. The ice cream sold here is delicious! I actually think it's better than the other ice cream place I tried in the area.

A great little place to stop for ice cream or treats. I loved that they have ice cream made locally by Four All Ice-cream. They have a display case with various desserts with gluten free and vegan options available. The service was lovely. There's a lounge downstairs with a record player and a selection of vinyl to choose from.

This place is has a fantastic vanilla ice coffee! My husband and I got one to share and had to go back a few hours later for seconds. The coffee was smooth and vanilla flavor was natural and not overwhelming, Highly recommended on a hot day! Also tried the cheese and green onion scone soft yet crispy. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. Definitely will stop in again when in town. Was not disappointed!
