"We trekked over from I-20 and boy are we glad we did!! Precious place. Cozy, cute, and the coffee is delicious. This location houses several other business, which were closed unfortunately, due to it being Saturday. Beautifully renovated and decorated with several small sitting areas, including a glassed in area out front. Also tried the cheesecake (imported from New York) with salted caramel sauce and whipped cream (fresh) we almost licked the container it was so good. Well worth visiting!"

"Amber is amazing! She helped me with notarizing important paperwork. She’s very kind and informative. The overall atmosphere of The Local was very friendly and welcoming. I honestly didn’t expect the variety of wares paired with the café. A great place for coffee and talk or just a solo visit with large windows so you can watch the day go by. Thank you!"
