• Better than your average local coffee shop, they've got great sandwiches, really good coffee (their fall specialties were especially good), and they're just a nice place to stop in and spend a few hours on a weekend morning. – Chris S., Yelp
• I love what this building has become. I believe that the coffee and wine shop is a great homage to old town Leesburg as well as the old shoe repair shop. – Trevor C., Yelp
