Hi. In walking around downtown for the first time just exploring the area we had to go in here. All kinds of sweets home made and otherwise. We settled on a couple waffle cones and a couple of elephant feet I thing. Those were huge candy’s made of Carmel pecans and chocolate. Terrific.

Our whole crew had such an absolutely amazing time there! The customer service is outstanding, I enjoyed small talk with the owners, very nice and trustworthy people. I have tried many other escape rooms, and this one was by far my favorite one. A great way to get together with family or friends. I highly recommend going here.

Our family is getting married here in a year, and we are passing through town and they wanted us to see and experience their venue while we’re in town. We had a lovely time sitting on the front patio with our tasting flight. The bar attendant that afternoon made us instantly feel welcome and had a very warm demeanor.
