    “My son was screaming while I was ordering, the young girl taking my order ran to go grab him the milk I ordered and waited for me to pour it in his sippy and took the cup back to throw away. She obviously did not have to do any of that and I am so grateful she did because the line was long and it allowed me to wait in line without a screaming baby. Every time I’ve gone to the Wichita Falls location I’ve always had above and beyond customer service.”

It's refreshing to have a barista that not only cares about regular and new customers, but puts in so much effort to make the perfect espresso everytime. She is such a friendly face and wonderful asset to this coffee shop. I would recommend this coffee shop to everyone! My only negative is they often have only one barista on shift, which does slow down wait times, but the coffee is far better than big chain coffee shops, so that makes up for the wait.”

I think the thank the eggs Benedict with the potatoes was absolutely delicious it was definitely enough for 2 people. The problem with this whole area is people don't want to pay for quality food. I have noticed they would pay 60000 for a new kitchen but have fast food for lunch. Why do you think we don't have a Whole Foods here or a trader Joe's. I travel to Orlando for high quality food I feel my body is worth it and I think the food at The marketplace is high quality and delicious thank yes thank you for opening such a cool place”

I always get only one drink that my girlfriend introduced me to 15 years ago. A Tall caramel macchiato. I stick with it every time because it’s amazing. But this time because I had a gift card I thought I would try something different and be a little wild. The barista recommended a banana nut chai latte. I wasn’t sure if I was drinking tea or coffee, but it was the best thing I’ve ever had. I don’t even know if I’ll go back to my caramel macchiato again.! I’m grateful for the knowledgeable barista that calmed my fears about trying something new!”

    Days after Blank Street Coffee opened in Los Angeles, a line stretched "down the street" despite 103-degree heat, a local source told Daily Coffee News.

  • Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Fast-Food Chains Chase a Thirstier, Younger Crowd

    Americans are drinking less alcohol, and fast-food chains have spotted a chance to fill the gap. They are courting young customers with frozen coffees and energy drinks that buyers can customize down to the flavor shot. Taco Bell has pushed harder than most, opening more than 30 Live Más Cafés inside its existing restaurants, where workers it calls "Bellristas" serve creamy chillers, fruity refreshers, and seasonal drinks alongside the usual menu. A diner can wash down a Triple Double Crunchwrap with a Pineapple Lime Rockstar Energy Refresca and its 200 milligrams of caffeine, roughly twice a regular coffee. Early results have already justified the expansion. After Taco Bell debuted Live Más Café outside San Diego in late 2024, that location saw a 40% sales lift, and the chain now plans a systemwide rollout as it chases $5 billion in beverage sales by 2030.
