One of our favorite places during the season. Never been disappointed with the customer service, drinks, or food. I'd give it 100 starts if possible.

Stopped here for breakfast to end our weekend trip and it did not disappoint! Their cinnamon rolls are perfection! The chai latte with espresso shot blew starbucks out of the water and even their house blend coffee had great flavor! Thank you for your hospitality even when we made a mess with our coffee and you gladly refilled it for us! :) If you are looking for great coffee with many flavor options and bakery items for breakfast then Taste the Occasion!

A quaint little breakfast shop, but don't let it fool you! They have some big flavors, and big hearts! If you're a local, just passing through, or staying for a vacation, you should definitely check this place out! Honestly, at first, I wasn't expecting too much. I was quickly shown up by how nice they were, how great the food was, and the coffee! Come on by and Taste the Occasion!

Very small and homey shop. This was a small oasis in the middle of town. I was very happy with the pumpkin pancakes that they made for me! They make them savory and leave the syrup to do the sweetening. Though the pancakes were good enough that I did not really bother with syrup. The pancake special was very reasonable and came with a couple sausage links.
