“PureCoffeeAwesomeness …..“

“The blueberry cake is so delicious! The sweetness is moderate, the cake is very light and soft, and the tiramisu is good but not amazing.
The croquettes tasted average.
The Portuguese egg tart was terrible. The filling was too sweet and not the way it should be. The quality was the same as frozen food.“

“the shop is so pretty! I like the several levels of sitting areas and the general ambience. the menu was easy to understand and I thought that while smaller than other shops, they had a solid selection. I got the taro coconut milk tea with the cheese cream topping and it was amazing! the cup wasn't filled with ice either and you got a lot of drink for the price. Will definitely go back :)

Wheelchair accessibility: you have to go up several steep steps to enter the shop. unsure if there is an accessible entrance elsewhere.“

“Intimate and well-lit, Nostalgia Room is my favorite place in Lawrence to chill, beating out the public library even.
Features: tea, coffee, and "mocktails" made with care and acumen. Most importantly, there are no screens beaming poison into one's eyes and brain.“

“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.“

“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.“

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

“Nice local coffee shop that serves fresh baked goods and has good coffee! The owner is nice and I could tell her patrons really like her. The shop is quite cozy and quiet so it was a good place to finish some work in the morning since they close in the afternoon!“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“Hubby has been going to dunkin donuts here in Lawrence for the past 30 yrs and theyve treated hubby like a family, they even know what my hubby wants without him saying a word. Good donuts and the best coffee is a given already... what matters most is the friendship we have built thru the year with them, we also serve their donuts to our students at the Midwest Driving School and the students love it!!!! Heres more to another 50 years ith dunkin donuts!!!! My husbands home away from home...“
