"The Harbinger is a whimsical space full of plants, Instagram-worthy shelves full of treasures, and cozy seating. The coffee drinks are creative, like the maple latte or the Jack Rudy espresso tonic, but do not miss the baked goods — customers are instantly hooked on creations like a take on Rice Krispy Treats with puffed brown rice, tahini, and chocolate. Check out the sister cafe Harken when visiting the heart of downtown." - Erin Perkins

"With an aesthetically pleasing interior filled with the aroma of fresh baked goods and coffee, The Harbinger is a great place to start any morning.

"Step into Harbinger to find an overwhelming perfume of fresh baked treats. Scones, breads, and bars are inventive, pairing ingredients such as peanut butter and sriracha. Seasonal salads and freshly baked quiche offer more variety to satisfy any craving." - Parker Milner
