What a weird experience…. Completely silent (no music), there was a sign that said “equipment issues. no food”, the menu was sitting on a table apparently “being worked on”, but upon reading reviews it sounds like there hasn’t been a menu up for at least 3 months. The gal seemed inconvenienced that we showed up, I asked what kind of teas they have, she said no tea right now. Just coffee and energy drinks. So over half of what they’re supposed to carry is “out of stock”…. My partner ordered an iced latte that came out weirdly fast (we didn’t hear any espresso machine noises..?) And the dispenser of water wasn’t even filled…And they had been open for 3 hours. Once we left the girl sat back on the couch to read her book. This place must be barely hanging on because it’s kind of a dumpster fire

We are always sad that small businesses fail, but this is the classic example as to why they do! Not open during hours posted, incorrect drinks made, common menu items "out of stock"...

Stayed in town for 4 days. Only one day was it open despite hours posted that it SHOULD BE open. Stopped by around 8 a.m. each day. (Poor ownership? I think obviously) Speaking with the locals I found out this is very common.
The young lady working was very sweet, but seemed unsure of how to make fairly basic espresso drinks- they were out of chai, so I ordered an alternate usual of mine... ie.) dark chocolate as well as white in my white chocolate latte.

*Edited to add* There still isn't a menu posted. It appeared they are consistently out of items on the menu so maybe that's why?

I don't know if we just went on a bad day but the coffee was not great. No visible menu anywhere so we had to play the "what do you have" back and forth. No cold brew. The "iced coffee" was incredibly watered down and tasted burnt.

This is a wonderful little place to stop.Today I got a cold Chai tea and it's all milk. I'm a little disappointed. I paid for a cup of milk.

Quaint local coffee shop that also serves simple home made foods like banana bread, breakfast burritos, muffins and so on. There is an inside seating area and a drive through.

I've never been disappointed here, but the bagel sandwiches are next level!!! so good, and so many choices! the homemade jalapeños cream cheese was to die for!!!

Despite the menu claiming otherwise, they only had breakfast burritos for breakfast. Additionally, the coffee was remarkably weak, to the point of almost being warm water with cream. At least the huckleberry-infused Red Bull tasted good, and they reused an old service shop well.

I can't get over how awesome this place was. They turned the gas pump station into a little patio. It's awesome!
