The Standpipe Coffee House

This characterful, spacious coffee house has bare brick walls and artsy decor, with comfortable seating and occasional live music events. They have outdoor seating too, and a delightful mural covering one outside wall, which makes the coffee house easy to spot. The cozy, friendly vibe inside is helped by cheerful baristas who really know their coffee and are happy to provide suggestions from the extensive menu.

Above all, the coffee here is fresh, crafted with care, and delicious. When you visit, try out some of their popular signature drinks, such as the Criminal, a strong white mocha with caramel and toffee syrup, the Snowy Lodge, made with hazelnut and Irish cream, or the Black Spot, a mocha with blackberries. Their freshly baked snacks are also scrupulous; the pumpkin bread and caramelized pear cake come particularly recommended. You’ll find this cafe at 123 South First Street. 

Buck’s Cup of Joe

A favorite coffee joint with many locals is this elegant, airy establishment at 2584 Ted Trout Drive. The local owners and baristas are warm and welcoming, always ready with a smile, and prepared to provide little extra touches of customer service like pup cups for your dog. The clean and comfortable interior makes for a very peaceful place to settle with friends or to use their free, strong Wi-Fi on your laptop. 

Some popular drinks here are the iced latte with almond milk and toffee nut, the caramel macchiato, the super strong red eye, and the straightforward espresso, which some say is the best in town. They also have a drive-through with prompt service, so you can pull up in your brand new 2023 Ford Escape ST-Line, pick up your drink, place it in your handy cupholder and enjoy the aroma of coffee on the way to work.

Heritage Coffee Company

This charming and quirky coffee house is a hidden gem that’s certainly worth the visit. They have interesting, artsy decor inside and outdoor lawn seating that’s perfect for sunny days. 

The courteous servers are friendly and efficient and are very skillful at making good coffee. They serve high-quality organic coffee and have their own bags of beans to purchase. You’ll find Heritage Coffee Company at 420 South First Street.
