“ I stumbled upon this coffee shop in downtown Covington. I was looking somewhere to have a coffee and read a book, and this couldnt have been a better place! The batista was more than kind, and the seasonal latte I ordered was delicious. Spent about an hour there, during which I saw families with small children and families with wellbehaved dogs all welcomed to come in. ”
“ I love saint Johns! The baristas are always so nice, and get my order done perfectly Today I had the apple cinnamon muffin and i couldnt contain myself from eating the top off because it was so good ... ”
“ One of the last oldschool coffee shops in the area. But my only gripe is the chocolate chip cookie lol. Its never restocked. My recommendation is to add a rotational cookie along with it. It would sell. ”
“ So glad we stopped here for a bit of refreshment on a weekday afternoon before an evening commitment. Cool streetcorner shop, plenty of parking behind the building and on the street. Menu features classics and creative concoctions. We had the Chicory black and the Iced Matcha with Strawberry Cold Foam! Right now they have an indulgent spin on an affogato ice cream, espresso, brownie, whipped cream that sounded so tempting. We also had a roast beef sandwich out of the case, and it was solid. Chill space, friendly staff, quiet and inviting, great for a quick stop or hours camping out with a laptop, book, or board game. Were from out of town, otherwise this would become a regular haunt for me! ”
“ This place is one to visit for sure. My wife and I always come here. The coffee is half the price of Starbucks, pjs, and the other mainstream coffee shops who claim to sell coffee. Parking is a bit of a bear sometimes but worth the walk. Sometimes you can catch live music here too. This is the place youre looking for. Youre welcome. ”
“ The only place I go for coffee!. Baked goods and sandwiches are always fresh and delicious. Great place to sit, people watch out the windows, get some reading in or work on my laptop. Great WiFi and they post a trivia question of the day on a chalk board, I love that! Staff is always friendly and knowledgeable of my coffee or tea questions. ”
“ Great little mellow coffee shop. Staff is super friendly early in the morning. Thats such a great way to start the day. And prices are very reasonable here. So glad i stopped in instead of having the usual corporate chain coffee. ”
“ Such a cozy coffee spot in the heart of Covington! Love everything Ive had there so far! ”
