Welcome to Air Play Espresso and Bakery

Small business is the heart of America. We have been family-owned and operated since we served our first cup of coffee on December 1, 2010. Our fresh-roasted, fine coffees, combined with sweets from our own made-from-scratch bakery will make a visit well worth your while. We quickly became locally famous for our fresh-baked scones. We have made over 200,000 of these amazingly popular treats! We offer a full coffee house menu from creamy espresso, fruit smoothies, frozen frappes and over 30 fresh, loose-leaf teas.
