“AMAZING COFFEE!! I had a truly fantastic latte that made me want to turn the car around and go back to order another one.

Thank you for carrying soy milk, vanilla, it made me happy after a long drive. They have a beautiful dock on the water with rocking chairs, the
perfect spot to sip your coffee.” —Jay

“Skip your traditional coffee house and come to the dock side Dessert First. High end treats with great coffee and tea. Staff is always friendly and the views are great. If your not for being inside, take a walk on the pier and get a view the channel and Kent Narrows Bridge.—Ricardo

“Woah! I’m from northern Virginia so I am used to seeing all sorts of nice coffee and dessert shops but this nice “hidden” gem in Kent Island takes the cake!
