Try their espresso, or find out what a hot chocolate bomb is, or ask if they have any white chocolate macadamia cookies filled with a pumpkin spice, and caramel scone cream. Or how bout a Sharkbite Fizzer, a Toxic Tonic and some Italian Rainbow Cookies? Or a made from scratch chicken pot pie or a Cliff Top Cold Brew?
