A Real Train Inside a Coffee Shop

Coffee at the Crossing is a unique place that’s designed with the entire family in mind. Inside the cozy coffee shop, there is a real, original train caboose that has been preserved and repurposed. Climb up the stairs and enter the caboose, and families will find a play area for young kids, complete with board games, tic-tac-toe, wooden trains, and comfy benches to relax. In the rear of the caboose is another area with more seating, as well as a window on the floor that looks out onto train tracks.

The coffee shop also has a checker board and other games to play, as well as loft seating with tables to work at, and couches to kick up your feet and relax. All around, you’ll see that the place has been adorned with train memorabilia.
