Seriously Good Coffee. New Favorite Spot
Just have to say — this coffee shop is so good. The coffee is absolutely on point — smooth, flavorful, and clearly made by people who know what they’re doing.
The food? Also amazing. The sandwiches are super tasty and fresh (and filling!)
What makes it even better is that it’s a local business, and you can really feel the love they put into everything. Places like this deserve all the support — and once you try it, you’ll probably want to come back again and again.
Definitely recommend checking it out if you haven’t already!- Food

A hidden gem!
Absolutely love this little coffee shop. The atmosphere is cozy and welcoming — perfect for working, reading, or just catching up with friends. The coffee is excellent — you can tell they take real pride in sourcing and brewing it right. I had a flat white and a slice of their homemade banana bread, and both were outstanding.
The staff are incredibly friendly and make you feel like a regular even on your first visit. I also really appreciate their attention to detail, from the latte art to the local artwork on the walls. It’s the kind of place that quickly becomes a favorite.
Support local — this shop is a true community treasure!- Wait time

Fantastic coffee shop with brilliantly friendly staff - we’ve bonded over the love of country music! Coffee is exceptional - they hand pick blends and take great pride in their food quality. Lots of great baked goods available, as well as sandwiches, breakfast baps and other nibbles. ** You can preorder fresh baked breads etc for pick up too! ** Would highly recommend

Alafaires is hands down my favorite coffee spot! It's a local gem run by an amazing woman who puts so much care into everything she does. Her coffee is the best way to start my day, and her sandwiches are out of this world—perfect for any occasion. She truly goes above and beyond for her customers and the community. She sources only the best ingredients, and it shows in every bite! I will always go out of my way to grab a coffee and cheese and bacon turn over. Have always supported local but when the local is this good it really boosts the community... xx- Food

This is a little gem of a sandwich shop, quality ingredients, great staff and after trying the salt beef (only available on Fridays) will have to say it’s the best salt beef I have tried, which they cook for hours etc. I go out of my way to go there it’s that good, and I’m not one to write reviews often but felt as a fairly new business, was compelled to let them know how good the shop is.

I love to stop here whenever I'm passing by. The ladies are always friendly and their service is great and I'm always happy I stopped by. The bread and ingredients are always fresh and they have a variety of sandwich filler ingredients to choose from.
