The coffee and cookies were delicious. The servers were beyond rude. If I return (big IF), I will not tip until after I’ve received our order.

The coffee and burritos were great! The service on the other hand was bordering on rude. Its not great when the baristas are complaining that you ordered something and then talking about how they wish no one else would come in. It made me feel like I was an inconvenience which wasn't great! Normally when we stop here, we have a nice time!

Pastries are great, coffee is a little over-roasted. customer service needs work - my toddler and i waited... and waited... and waited. Not just a minute or two but like 10 mins of waiting.while she was chatting with another local shop owner. those brownies though.

Very disappointing experience about a month ago. The place was empty when I arrived, and the employees treated me like a nuisance. The coffee was average. The pastry was below average.

So we came here a year ago and it was under new ownership and about to undergo a branding change. Spoke to the owner for a long time and she is awesome. Back in town a year later and they are rebranded so we thought we would give it another try. Owner was not onsite today, unfortunately. The barista who was working had zero personality and was indeed not joyful. The coffee was good but the mood of the place fit with the attitude of the barista. This experience was not the best but we will give it another try next year when we are back in town.

i just had the frittata and it was great. as someone with celiac, it is soooo nice to have a gluten free bite of protein in a cafe. it’s honestly pretty rare. it was really tasty too and decent portion.
Was in town for my wife’s 50th birthday from Buffalo,ny. I wanted to surprise her with a small birthday cake and was given their phone number by the owner of the Airbnb we were staying at. The owner Jenny pulled through for me in a days notice. What great service I received. It made my wife’s day! The cake as delicious and moist. Thank you Jenny!

Weak espresso. Burnt milk caused all loss of texture. Cinnamon spice tasted super old or stale.

This little coffee shop is great for their coffee and food options honestly. It’s been a year since we’ve been here though we miss the other owner and the GF Sourdough Muffins - they were so good. I will say, however, if I’m being honest - the service and young ladies at the register need to be more pleasant. Both times we walked in on different days they both seemed very unhappy to be working which is a shame because the shop is called “Joyful”. From one business owner to another, make sure you are hiring young folks that can be the face of the business, not just working at a job.

The maple latte is pretty great, but I think the sugar cookie with vanilla frosting was the star of the show.

The barista was rude and the coffee wasn't good. We didn't try the pastries. We've been coming to this location for many years when it was originally the Midland Stop coffee shop. It was great back then. It changed ownership several times and progressively has gotten worse. Now it appears to be a completely different company. We will look elsewhere for good coffee in BV.

The most joyful thing about coming here was leaving. Terrible food and matcha. One of the baristas said out loud, “Oh my God I’m so bad at this.” Never coming back here

Drinks were lacking flavor and they skimped on the yogurt.

Best location but unfortunately the coffee and service are not worth it! Buy your coffee elsewhere and bring it to this spot instead
