Our Happy Place

A house saved, twice.

This old house has been around since 1896. Joseph Lord built it. George Higel—one of Venice's founding fathers—lived here. It almost got torn down in 1950, but the Higel family saved it.

Now it's a coffee house. We serve Black Gold coffee (roasted right here in Venice), fresh pastries, breakfast, and light bites. Saturday evenings, we pour wine and local beer until close.

The porch is the best part—string lights, ceiling fans, rocking chairs. Grab a seat, grab the paper, grab a friend.

— Come see it for yourself.

Hands down and by FAR the most aesthetically beautiful coffee house I have ever had the pleasure of spending time in.
