We ordered 2 of her pumpkin pies for Thanksgiving. Picked them up at their new location which is roomy, artsy, and comfortable. Perfect for Chesterton. Best part is the pies were beautiful and tasted great! They were eaten up or I ‘d leave a photo.

This cafe embodies some of the best qualities of a good neighbor- comfortable, approachable, and nicely accessible. I hadn’t been back to Chesterton for a while, so I was pleasantly surprised to find that this cafe had moved next door and expanded quite a bit. Despite the added space, the cafe remains just as cozy and welcoming as I remembered. Espresso drinks were delicious, and sandwiches all had a wonderfully comforting, homemade taste.

Friendly, funky, offbeat and very casual place for sandwiches and coffee. Not a typical fast food affair. Nice find near the I-94 interstate highway.

The perfect local cafe vibes here. I went here for breakfast with my brother (a very good egg sandwich breakfast!) and we were both impressed with the how community oriented this place is. I learned about so many cool summer events by just visiting the board at the front counter. They have rotating art on the walls that you can purchase, which I found extremely cool. This is a place where the next big TV show could be like Friends or Cheers, but the cast is quirkier and interested in garden walks, outdoor movies and art exhibits. Sign me up!

Very cozy, casual and comfortable neighborhood place for delicious sandwiches, pastry and coffee. Very relaxed family type environment with nice music playing. The menu includes a variety of freshly made sandwiches and salads. They will customize to your taste and diet needs. This is not a fast food place so don't go expecting that type of process.

Great spot, nutritious, fulfilling, and very clean for the body and mind. Came for an early lunch with my wife, she came all the time when she lived here. I was very happy with the food, staff, and experience. Tons of options for any kind of gut, craving, and person! No pictures of the food lol, we dug in right away. I’ve never had a better sandwich. And I loved how it came in a brown bag with apples!
