“ Mountain House Coffee is such a charming little spot—it feels like you’re sitting in a study group in someone’s dining room. The cozy atmosphere is made even better by Piper, the resident pup, who kept us company while keeping a watchful eye on the door for new friends. I had the raspberry gluten-free scone with a coffee, and both were absolutely amazing—simple, fresh, and perfect. If this place is in your neighborhood, you’re so lucky! It’s the kind of cafe that feels like home. Don’t miss this spot. ”
“ Unfortunately for my coffee addiction this gem opened up right down the street from me. Super cute atmosphere, lovely owner and staff and everything tastes amazing. Both the food and coffee taste super rich and high quality. I haven’t been to a starbucks in weeks. They even have a professional four legged greeter!! ”
“ Super cute little hole in the wall coffee shop that I so happily and luckily found while adventuring around the area. The best surprise was walking in and finding Piper. They are also setting up an outdoor dogwash for summer. My coffee was also fabulous, and the gal working was very nice! ”
“ So excited to finally get to try this cafe! It exceeded expectations - I have a gluten issue and the day I came in there was gf carrot cake - ! (Other choice was gf banana muffin) My latte was delicious, the vibe is so homey and friendly, and Piper the dog is the icing on the cake.... (actually delicious cream cheese frosting was the icing on the cake). Highly recommend! ”
