Charming forest like setting with good food. Seemed like the seats and tables were carved from trees. Would need to go more than once to see objects in and around seating areas of which some were little alcoves or wooded glens.

Interesting place with a unique atmosphere. A little like a tree house with lots of room. Really fun setting. The food was very good on the most scrumptious homemade bread. We had heard about the restaurant after eating several times at their sister place in Plymouth MA (Blue Blinds) also excellent. More of a soup and sandwich type of place.... More

Good enough grub in a interesting atmosphere which enhances the eating experience of the good people who operate this restaurant with a message...take one of their papers on the way out you may have found the answer to your problems.

How could you not be charmed by this cafe, with its whimsical treehouse-like booths, its low-key and friendly staff, its fresh and flavorful salads and wonderful drinks? Children will love the setting--cozy booths carved out of wood. And after a day of travel food (fast food, snacks, yuck), their fresh Greek salad hit the spot. One of my favorite restaurants... More

When I am in Hyannis doing Christmas Shopping, I stopped here . A very quiet oasis of vintage 60's decor and ambiance. Food is healthy and fresh, and the small little *caves* cozy and enjoyable, and you can go there alone and eat, and not feel weird that you are all by yourself. The wait staff has been there forever... More

A place full of character with quaint booths in a comfortable setting. Ideal lunchtime spot for soup, salad or sandwiches. Serves coffee, tea, fruit smoothies, baked goods. I loved the hibiscus tea. Closes early 3pm on Fridays and is closed on Saturday. Great value.

Walking into this restaurant immediately makes you think of being in a tree house. Our table was tucked into a corner and felt cozy and intimate. Service was excellent and the food was delicious. They offer healthy, but tasty and filling foods, including salads, soups, sandwiches and entrees. They have smoothies, muffins and yummy sounding desserts. Very reasonably priced. I... More

Nice, cozy, and great coffee. Rustic place that reminds me of some of the little restaurants/cafes in Krakow, Poland. Had a huge, just out of the oven muffin and good coffee while my daughter had tea.

We visited for lunch one warm August afternoon and sat at one of the three outside tables. Service was prompt and attentive. The food is so fresh and absolutely delicious. We had sandwiches, smoothies and carrot cake. Everything tasted like it was home made from good quality ingredients. I would definitely want to go here again if I'm back in... More
