The cutest little coffee shop you ever did see! Amazing spot to do a little remote work, have a coffee, and try their incredible baked goods. We can't leave here without some of their delicious bread baked in house. And the location! It looks like Lorelai Gilmore's house straight out of Stars Hollow. A Franklin favorite!
