They always act as if they are delighted to see you. They act as if they are delighted to be at work, but not annoyingly so. They always seem very genuine. Even with long lines in the drive-through, they work very expeditiously to get you through quickly. It is refreshing to see this kind of customer service!“

“This place I feel is a “hidden gem” not out in the open like your typical Starbucks or Dunkin. Takes a 30 second walk to get there from parking. Super cozy I was in awe of the place. I got a 16oz iced mocha latte and I always get an easier drink to make to just see how the quality is on my first visit. I was in shock how good and authentic this coffee tasted. A little on the more expensive side, yes but I feel you get your moneys worth with the quality and cozy quiet environment. I loved my experience and will be back so soon.“
