History

This location has been a coffee house for the past 20+ years. It's one of the oldest buildings on Park Street, built in 1891as the original Masonic Temple. Over the years it has been numerous retail establishments - from paint, crafts and gifts stores to coffee shops. The new owners are working hard to create a new community spot for socializing and continuing the tradition of small-business coffee on Park Street.
