I've gone here twice now and absolutely love it! It is a really cute environment, and it's the perfect place to bring a friend or two and do some crafting. I've done both a crafting kit and watercolor here so far, and they provide everything you need! So many options, I can't wait to try a bunch more ☺️

Crossroads Coffee Cafe is a hidden gem! Love this place. Coffee, treats, salads, sandwiches, plenty of seating inside, drive thru if you need it. AND they rent out the cafe for private parties! Rented it for a bridal shower & the staff were amazing. They are the nicest people. I would not hesitate to have another event there.

Awakenings is a fantastic local coffee shop! The coffee is consistently fresh, rich, and expertly prepared, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The atmosphere is warm, comfortable, and a great place to relax, meet with friends, or get some work done. It's clear they care about both the quality of their drinks and the experience they provide. I always enjoy stopping by and highly recommend Awakenings to anyone looking for excellent coffee and outstanding service.

I usually get a coffee that’s not loaded with sugar and don’t necessarily enjoy the taste, but here?! I fell in love with my drink. Just moved out to Oregon and already found my go to spot. Staff is very friendly, place is very clean, and my drink was delicious. Highly recommend!

Everything is amazing. 12/10 here for it all. The breakfast burrito is legit and the chai teas they make is amazing. Food and drink is perfectly cooked, paired and seasoned. Staff is genuinely kind and friendly. Drinks are dynamite. Can’t go wrong!
