Good coffee is made better with a dedication to building respectful relationships between all stages of the coffee process, from growing the beans to serving customers. Diva lives this idea and their quality product with noteworthy taste proves it!

The Living Room Cafe - 6 min, 1.6 miles

Cozy chairs, community puzzles, and barstools at the barista counter combine to give this shop a homey vibe complete with a mini-market akin to a well-stocked pantry. Their selection of sandwiches, salads, and even basic groceries will take care of any munchies that may arise.

Pilgrim Coffeehouse - 9 min, 2.1 miles

Beginning as a coffee truck before opening a brick and mortar store, Pilgrim Coffeehouse made the journey from idea to community hang out so you can enjoy fresh roasted coffee.

Jewel Box Cafe - 11 min, 3.4 miles

Old-time atmosphere gives this wood panelled shop the charm of another century with grand bookcases on either side of a cozy fireplace and a decorative chandelier. Open late, Jewel Box is a great place to study or relax with a book, fresh made crepe, and a warm cup of coffee.
