Cozy café with consistently delicious offerings.

Helma Cafe + Wine is a cozy spot that feels like your favorite blanket on a chilly day. Julie Messier was so enchanted she stopped by every day during her stay—definitely a sign of a good coffee joint. With a menu that changes monthly, there’s always something new to tickle your taste buds. Katrina Lytton gives a shoutout to the socca pancake, while Michelle appreciates the homemade approach to the daily sandwiches. 🥪

But make no mistake, this café isn’t just about the food; it’s about experience. The warm and inviting atmosphere keeps folks coming back for more. Whether it’s brunch or just a solid cup of coffee, Helma nails it every time, making it a go-to for locals and visitors alike.
