I really only have 1 issue and 1 very small issue. One is the staff seems rude. I usually go through the drive thru but I decided to go in and I ordered a cantabria cooler and a muffin, and when the lady was done taking my order she seemed annoyed that she had to do her job, I don’t want to be rude but she needs to fix that tude! Other than that the food and drinks taste amazing, a bit on the pricey side but at least it’s fresh and local and inside of the coffee shop is a LOT bigger than it looks and there’s outdoor seating! P.S the painting in the drive through creeps me out 😬

Cantabria has easily been my favorite place to go for years, the food is always good and the coffee is better than any other place in town that isn't a commercial chain. However they are slow. . . Slow to the point of your coffee getting cold. I can't even begin to count how many times I've gone through the drive thru or walked in on a day where they were slow business wise, with thirty to forty minutes to spare before heading to work that's just a few blocks down, and I'll be late going to work for my one drink. And it's usually because staff are too busy talking to one another, or they're on their phones (you can see them in that back portion of their kitchen even though they're trying to be sneaky). Don't go here unless you have an hour minimum as speed is not their key but they're better than Dunkin

Went downhill after new owners took over. Used to be great.

My partner and I stopped in for drinks and a place to work, but the vibe was uncomfortable from the start. The staff stared us down, weren’t friendly, and when we asked about turning on a light, it felt like we were inconveniencing them. The energy was stiff and unwelcoming, so we left.

I’ve been a customer here for years and this place will always hold a special spot in my heart. I usually order a London Fog (which runs about $8).
Today was my first time ordering just a regular brewed coffee with oat milk (+$1) and honey/cinnamon (+$1). After tip, it came to $6, which already felt steep for plain coffee. Unfortunately, the experience left me really disappointed.
When I asked for a little more honey/cinnamon, the barista acted like I was asking for too much, even pausing like I’d need to pay again. He then dumped a huge pile of cinnamon on top (with no honey) and didn’t bother mixing it. The coffee was ruined and I didn’t feel comfortable asking for a remake.
If a shop is going to charge extra for basics like honey and cinnamon (which most places leave out for customers), those upcharges should be clearly posted on the menu. For $6, I would’ve just ordered a latte elsewhere. Sadly, this experience left a bad taste in my mouth and I’ll likely be sticking with Harmony’s Coffee Bar going forward, where the service and quality are consistent.

This used to be a favorite place of mine. The white chocolate mocha was to die for. I would crave it every now and a again. However, since the new ownership, the same yummy flavors are just not the same. I feel like I could do better myself at home with some cheap creamer. When I go out for coffee it is usually a treat for myself and I like to get something I can't just make a home or something that has flavors I can't easily recreate. I still enjoy going there for meetings with friends but really wish they had better tasting coffee. The flavors are bitter, sometimes even taste burnt, and just overall are disappointing. I just get smoothies now because its been so consistently disappointing for coffee.

Fast friendly service and great coffee. There are tons of seating areas with a variety of tables, chairs and couches. Muffins and sandwiches are available.
Really good coffee id say best in the area. Its a little odd inside with 20 doors but I found a quiet spot to catch up with some emails.

The one time I PLAN to take a nice picture of a food item here, they don't even ask and just put it in a bag instead of on a plate.

I loved my latte. So much I got 4 of them while on vacation in Bemidji. Once I found this coffee shop, I didn't go anywhere else for coffee ☕ fun little kitchen toy for my young daughter to play at while I enjoyed my coffee

Love the rooms and size of this place and that there is a drive through. Mostly coffee drinks
