Please replace your paint brushes ,it had its days. White paint is a very popular color, maybe have more stock handy. Besides that all was really enjoyable and we will be back! Much appreciation. Denise Stubbs and family

I had a really great experience here with their Brush & Brew deal, which includes drinks and food – honestly, no other place offers such an amazing package. The food was delicious, the vibe was immaculate, and the atmosphere felt warm and welcoming. The staff were super helpful and friendly, which made the experience even better. I’d definitely come back again!

I had the most amazing time, liked how the host assisted us while we tried to bring out the Picasso in us. The food was delicious and freshly made.

One of my favorite coffee shops in Woodstock for sure. Great place to stop by for a quick brekkie sandwich- a deliciously good sandwich at that. But more than that - it’s the service, the atmosphere and the friendly staff that makes it such a great place to grab a quick bite & cuppa.

My friends and I decided to enjoy the day with some painting and snacks. We were spoiled with various food items and chose some delicious smoothies/juices. We were utterly impressed by it all. The fruit was fresh and the food was amazing. The staff was unbelievably friendly and the owner, Spu, really made my friends and I feel very comfortable considering we took over the place. We had so much fun painting, messing with the colours and paint brushes. Please note that parking is difficult to find considering it is the busiest road in Woodstock. Futhermore, considering this is a shared space, the toilet facilities was not up to standard. However the area we were painting in was satisfactory.

I spent two hours at Life Is Good while waiting to check in. The atmosphere is fantastic, and their shakes are really good—I tried the Apple Celery, Lemon, and Ginger shake! It was the perfect spot to get some work done and pass the time in a positive, vibrant space. The staff is incredibly friendly too. If you're ever in Woodstock, make sure to stop by and check them out!
