Everything you need. This is the only place I found in Ashland that opens before 7. Good Cappuccino, friendly people and very comfy chairs. It's just scruffy enough to let you know it's not a chain store, but clean and nice.

Extremely impressive food choices and a great value for those on a budget, but uncomfortable furniture and burnt cooking oil odors in the air marred the overall experience.
The food display is rather stunning. They've got a variety of pies, quiches, coffee cakes, and scones, and I think they also have a hot food menu too. For just over $2, I got the cherry yogurt coffee cake, which came with a free 12oz drink. That's value you can't find at any other cafe in Ashland. It was strangely chewy, but tasty! There were more deals on some of the other food items as well, a couple were 50 cents off, one was $1 off, and some others also came with a free drink. Somehow I missed the pies among the cornucopia until after I had finished the coffee cake. Drat!
After turning my attention away from the food, I noticed...well, it's as if all focus and energy in this place went into the food display, leaving the poor decor neglected and unloved. Small blonde hardwood chairs (emphasis on hard) with uneven food court-like tables. White or slate-ish linoleum flooring, drabby-looking blue walls. Fluorescent lighting.
The one table left near an outlet was near the entrances next to the drinks cooler, and it, like all the other tables, sat askew. And while the hard, hard chair may have been level with the floor, I suspect the floor might not have been level. Because after sitting on that small hard chair with my laptop crooked for a couple of hours, my body didn't feel particularly good.
Moreover, after sitting for 15-30 mins, the smell of burnt cooking oil wafted over. I would have left right there and then, but I had a deadline in a couple of hours and I couldn't waste time going somewhere else. When I bussed my table and walked over to the other half of the place, the smell of burnt cooking oil disappeared, so I think half the cafe was okay. The grill was open towards where I had been sitting but was sealed off by a wall from the other side of the cafe. I came home smelling like coffee and burnt oil, which was not a pleasant pairing.
I would go back to pick up food--especially pie--and coffee, but I wouldn't stay to hang out. -

This shop near the college is a comfy and warm gathering place. Steaming joe is served in large mugs. Pastries and light lunch fare fill the display cases.
My favorite? The Ginger scones are light and slightly spicy - a good way to kick off the day. Small chunks of candied ginger dot this treat. Yum!
For lunch try a bean and cheese burrito. Warmed and served with sour cream and salsa, these small packages pack a large punch! The beans are good and they always have just the right amount of cheese. -

Coffee is good. Like the baked goods, on occasion...not wowed. Prefer Mix or even Dutch Brothers...glad to have a choice in the neighborhood.
