All the hype is true...got the macchiato (hot) and classy lady (cold) with couple of olive oil cakes and almond Danish. Everything was made well, delicious, and well balanced. I went for their olive oil cake but the Danish was even better. Great job by Peter and the ladies, very welcoming. Keep it up, will be back when i visit CT next time.
Great coffee! I loved everything I’ve tried so far. I love to go there when Pete is there. My favorite one is dark side cappuccino. He’s the best!
Great cafe, inviting atmosphere, super friendly staff, delicious unique coffees/teas, and delectable pastries. I had the banana foster but with tea latte instead of coffee latte and the gluten free magic bar. Amazing! Wish I lived closer so I could become a regular.
The vegan pumpkin cake with chocolate chips is delicious (and they warm it up!)
I've had oodles of lattes and pastries in my time (arguably too many), but Rumors has some of the best of both I've ever had. My mom and I stopped here for a bite on Monday around mid-day. The location is arguably not ideal, depending on your perspective. We were coming from Redding so our trip involved navigating around 84 and then slowly making our way down a busy county highway to make sure we didn't miss it (sometimes I let my Google Maps rest so I can live on the edge a bit). It's a little chaotic but also convenient in that it's a pretty direct route. I also enjoyed the fact that there was an intriguing canine grooming facility right next door though I didn't have the good fortune of encountering any of its customers.Rumors is very cute inside; I feel like every coffeehouse is sort of unique/quirky in the same way, and this was no exception. There was a giant furry spider decoration encircling an entryway to the bathroom, a lending library and - my personal favorite - a TV showing videos of puppies and kittens. The only way to improve it would have been to have actual puppies and kittens roaming around, but I can only imagine the potential health code drama that would ensue. No matter.I ordered their seasonal strawberry rose latte, along with an almond Danish. The latte was perfect - it had the perfect balance of flavor without being too subtle or too overwhelming. The Danish was more than up to the task of matching that performance too. Danishes aren't my go-to pastry; they're often too flaky/crumbly, basically the bakery version of a Nature Valley bar, and like their croissant relatives, often don't have their filling evenly distributed. This had great consistency in both texture and taste, and every bite was scrumptious and flavorful. Despite trying to cajole my mother into getting a latte, she adamantly refuses to drink coffee products and instead opted for a hot chocolate (served in an owl mug that I was pretty jealous of) and a cheese Danish. She enjoyed both and hopefully will be providing her own account of this experience.Great discovery - it's always pleasing to find an establishment that matches (and possibly exceeds) the hype.
This is our first visit and I already know the next visit can’t be too long from now. We will absolutely be back! Best coffee I’ve ever had. Hands down.
Previously gave them 3 stars. They've improved food and beverage quality a lot since then. Great oat cappuccino and pecan bar!
Great service, amazing coffee and the cutest coffee place around.
Great little coffee shop. The ambience is very nice and the coffee is great. The staff is very friendly. They have a lot of board games and old school seating. They have a ton of interesting collectible. Would visit again.
I went to Rumors today for the first time and I am already looking forward to my next visit! The shop itself is warm and welcoming, providing a comfortable WiFi equipped space to work or catch up with a friend. The coffee selection is expansive, unique, and customizable. I ordered the “bad witch latte” and a tender slice of banana bread, both of which were delightful. Peter has such a kind demeanor and is extremely accommodating, contributing to an overall “hometown” coffee shop experience which really sets Rumors apart from other shops. Go visit Peter and grab a tasty pastry to enjoy alongside your caffeinated cup of choice! :)
