This quaint coffee shop and pharmacy store is haunted by two ghosts, according to employees. During the hours between dusk and dawn, the owner of the place has reportedly seen the apparition of an elderly man in an old-fashioned magenta suit, whilst another member of staff saw a woman with long hair descending the basement staircase, only to find the room empty after she followed her down. Prior to its conversion, the building served as a furniture store and the town mortuary, which may explain some of the current day hauntings.
