I love this place! Amazing coffee for a great price! I would highly, highly recommend a chocolate frappe. Keep it up! The bookstore is great as well. They have all the Kendrick movies available there.

Food was awesome. Service was amazing, and the book store doesn't have much, bit they are looking to expand the inventory based on what customers are looking for, and they are willing to order what youight be looking for at a much better price than BAM or B&N

Super friendly and kid friendly atmosphere. I was pleasantly surprised to see a menu of more than just your average pastries! The Source offers sandwiches, premade salads and soups. They have a good selection of coffee syrup flavors and were very patient and knowledgeable about what special seasonal flavors they had. I came around 10am and it was a very quiet time, the whole cafe was very clean. I can’t wait to come back with my kiddos to let them play in the very large play area! This looks like the perfect BFF/Mom friend play date spot!!

This place is amazing. The staff is fantastic and the food is always great

A hidden gem! A sweet concept for a place to visit with friends. Good food, good service.

My son loves going to play, and I love going to watch him and having a nice coffee! Very clean and fun!

Great place to grab lunch or a cup of coffee at a great price.

Amazing! Love the food and CS and the atmosphere! The best!
