Bess Eaton is a local spot known for its coffee and donuts, holding a special place in many customers' routines. Its iced coffee, often called the tank, is praised for being flavorful and among the least acidic coffees around, offering a refreshing pick-me-up that evokes nostalgia. The cinnamon twists are also highly recommended. Many customers enjoy stopping by for a quick, comforting break, especially during long days, and some wish they could buy the coffee in bags to enjoy at home. However, the experience with donuts can be inconsistent; while some are served neatly in individual containers, others are tossed into bags upside down or facing the sides, making them hard to remove without damaging the frosting. Staff are generally friendly, but there have been moments of disappointment, such as short interactions over the speaker or signs asking for tips after poor service, which some customers find off-putting. Despite these issues, the location remains a favorite for many seeking a simple, nostalgic coffee experience, with hopes that service will improve in the future.
