Wasps and hives? We're sensing a theme here.

Describing itself as liking "sustainability, country music, coffee (good coffee mind you), and bugs," Mud Dauber serves hot and cold coffee selections, hot chocolate, and a few snack items (think cupcakes).

Mud Dauber Coffee is open from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
