I own a business down the street and walk to TGNM near daily. Not only do they make me *my* drink practically before I walk in the door, but Melissa & Eric treat me and my dog, Doc, like gold. They are always so warm & make the day better for us every time they are the baristas when we come in. They have earned our loyalty in the neighborhood for our daily cup of joy.

I took my friend who was visiting from out of town here for the first time and as a former employee of this location, was completely shocked at the quality of the beverages and the negative energy we experienced within the shop. My friend walked into the shop and took a look around, she was met with employees who seemed displeased of her presence because it appeared that they were in the middle of gossiping. They stayed awkwardly silent and watched as she was deciding her order. She was not met with any greetings from any of the three employees. They took her order and during the transaction, my friend’s card wasn’t working.She attempted to pay with cash instead but was immediately told very sternly and rudely by all three employees that they do not accept cash. (I will acknowledge that I forgot to tell my friend before she walked in that this establishment was card only.) I then paid with my card and we waited outside. I told my friend that our drinks would be given out the window, however one of the employees was kind enough to step outside and hand us our drinks. Yet even with this kind gesture, the employee seemed to be annoyed in doing so. She seemed extremely bothered, and didn’t seem to care about the quality of service she was giving. When setting our tray down, she rolled her eyes and told us to just leave they tray by the window because she didn’t care, and waved her hand gesturing so. I was taken aback at the type of service we were receiving, especially with knowing how Two Guns values customer experiences and connecting with the community. I am unsure if these ladies had a rough shift, or what exactly they were going through at that moment but it was made very clearly that we were unwanted in the store. What made this experience even more disappointing, was the quality of one of the beverages. I ordered a hot vanilla oat milk latte, and the milk was burnt. It was evident that the milk was not steamed correctly and for a longer time given the taste and appearance of the foam. I am very aware that Two Guns trains their employees well at HQ and educates them in coffee. I also know that the managers train their employees well but the fact the location was not busy, and there were two other people working, I am surprised that they let this drink be served given how burnt the milk was. We were so uncomfortable with our experience there that we decided to not go back to have them fix the drink. Overall this was an extremely disappointing experience and shocking to see how much has changed with the type of people they hire and quality of drinks being made. I genuinely hope that Stan becomes aware of this behavior at the this location.

I feel like the service and the coffee are super average. Glad other options have popped up.

The people over to two guns never fail to get my morning started right. they make my order of coffee almost every morning and it's the best every time it never fails. The people today on 12/31/23 deserve a raise

I use to come to this shop almost everyday but recently had a horrible customer experience. None of the apps to order ahead are working and have not been working for multiple days. I called and was told they work multiple times and then eventually someone told me its broken. They told me I couldn't even place a pick up order. Both people I talked to at the store were super rude and sounded like they didn't care it wasn't working. I won't be coming here anymore

the workers are absolute angels. like did they fall right out of heaven? the other morning i went to get coffee before school and I ordered my latte and the machine wasn't working, so the worker without hesitation made me my latte free of charge and was so nice about it. it genuinely made my day. ily two guns

I came on a Sunday morning just when they opened and they had the friendliest staff. Thank you for starting my Moms and my day just right! :)

Below average service on multiple different visits. I'm not willing to patronize a place where I feel like I'm bothering the people working there.

I love Two Guns but this location must have difficulty staffing or something. I've now waited for 25 minutes on multiple occasions for one drink with only 4 people ahead at 6:45am. This is never a problem at the other locations.

Dear Yelp Community,Passed by with my vehicle, and finally one day stopped to enjoy a coffee. Small, yet nice to have the outdoor counter to stand and enjoy a drink on a nice street with good food traffic in a beautiful beachside neighborhood.Perhaps more seating would be a plus. Sincerely,Anna

Rude upon entering (you don't have to kiss my grits) and cappuccino was burnt-- too hot, tasteless and my tongue is burned
