Muffins can be an ordinary treat, but if you’re looking for a fresh, homemade and deliciously unique muffin, Light House Coffee, located at 257 Lee Drive, offers just that.

The coffee shop is open Monday through Thursday from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. and Saturday through Sunday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Walking into the shop, customers feel like they are being greeted with a warm hug. The lively atmosphere, filled with sunshine, familiar faces, fair trade gifts and a barista awaiting you with a smile.

Light House Coffee, a student favorite coffee shop, is a cozy corner for schoolwork or friend meetups. Although the shop’s pastries are always stocked with fresh goodies that stare at you saying, “pick me,” I had never actually tried one before.

I received a surprisingly large muffin that fell over on its side, having a bit of a muffin top, shortly after ordering. This muffin, unlike regular pastries, is full of fresh blueberries and a tang of lemon – seeming as if they squeezed a lemon right into the batter. The consistency is light and fluffy, yet the perfect amount of doughiness.

Light House has perfected the blend of blueberry and lemon into one wonderfully moist muffin. Each bite is full of exploding blueberries and a simple amount of lemon that your taste buds will surely pick up on.

The muffin itself is $4.50 and I can assure you, you will leave with a full stomach and an irresistible craving for more. You can pair this muffin with a cup of coffee, a glass of milk or simply consume it on its own. If sharing with a friend, you are guaranteed to both reach for the last bite.
