“When I walked it I was back in Paris! Authentic taste. It was a sweet reminder of lovely memories. The service is excellent. The atmosphere is perfect. Sit and eat and have a cup of coffee and visit with friends. I took lots of samples home with me. They traveled well back to Arkansas. I kept in my fridge and popped in the microwave, and they were perfect for a week. Then all my samples were gone...lol“

“The lady was very nice too me“

“What a wonderful breakfast burrito! I know this much….if that tomatillo salsa is made in house, you need to be selling that by the jar in café and at the Merc!“

“Good place to sit and get some work done. Drinks get messed up fairly frequently and staff has never seemed too eager to fix the issues but whatevs ??‍♀️ it’s just an $7 drink. If you see the drink in the photo - that’s supposed to be the “Pink Drink” more like pink cottage cheese and they were out of strawberries (the best part) but no one told me that.“

“The people that work there are well-mannered. They don't accept tips sometimes (Oct 5,2022), the staff will be gone from the stand and no sign will be at the register. High-calorie treats. I usually go to an independent coffee place on the Mass and 7th, which I like better. Still addicting sweet good coffee, which I have only had two times this Fall as a treat for doing lawn work.“

“best donuts I've had! we definitely enjoy going. we did grab the breakfast sandwiches and didn't read the smaller print (we should have) my SO can't have spicy at all so he was out of a sandwich. it's not something I would buy again but the donuts we will be back for!!!“

“Great service today on a super busy Mother's Day, KU graduation day. Thanks to the girls working so hard to get us through the drive thru. Will definitely go back.“

“Had a wonderful breakfast at Milton's. Our waitress forgot to put our order in to the kitchen, so we were delayed about 15 minutes. But the staff was very apologetic, and gave us a nice discount! Loved everything about Milton's, and highly recommend!“

“Great place to get a healthy shake and tea. The staff is knowledgeable about the products and helps you find what fits your needs. I enjoy the cozy atmosphere and great service. It’s convenient in the gym so I can workout and enjoy a healthy treat afterwards.“

“The owner is the best! All the employees make consistent and delicious drinks. The new raspberry matcha scone is AMAZING. And the atmosphere is fun or relaxing, depending on your vibe! It's a great spot to hang out with friends or study alone. Easily my favorite coffee spot ever.“

“Amazing service and friendly employees! The best boba tea shop in Lawrence.“

“we were in lawrence kansas for 3 days and got 9 drinks a day. the people did a great job and fast.“

“Great coffee and exceptional staff that went the “extra mile” for customers!“

“I have only been inside twice and it was comfortable, clean and airy. Drive through can be slow depending on the time of day, what has been ordered before you, how many people are working and the experience of those working. I recommend you pay in cash because they will shove the card reader at you expecting a tip.“

“Great atmosphere Cool people“

“We did an online order and it was extremely convenient. Drinks were ready in 1 minute of teaching the window even how busy it was. The young lady was cheery and even talked with us about choosing a church in the area. All our drinks were correct and the were delicioso!!!! I recommend The German Chocolate Blended Freeze!!
