EXTREMELY GOOD FOOD! Will be going here again! Only downside is I didnt have a chance to try their coffee because the ice machine was broken. Ill be going back to try it!

Awesome place to stop by for lunch and get some work done between meetings. The sandwich was tasty, a great combination of flavors! I loved the blue cheese and the quality of the meat. They also use Monin syrups, which are my favorite.
My only complaint is that the oven/toaster smell is a bit overwhelming in the dining area. Not sure why, especially with a huge vent above the appliance. Still, a great spot to have lunch!

Stopped by this place on a whim to get some coffee and maybe some work done. Best decision. This place is comfortable, work friendly, amazing food and coffee drinks (VERY budget friendly) Very nice, quick service. Strong WiFi and lots of places to sit, gather, or work alone.

Free wifi! (doesn’t appear that you have to order food)! If you want to dine in, unfortunately, the tables/booths are usually occupied with solo surfers. Only the drive-through seems busy. It’s like a library with coffee if you want that, or not.
I feel the young baristas are very unfriendly and rude. No "hello how can I help you" or "have a good day". They just stare at you like you have interrupted their day. The location and beverages are okay but not worth the cold reception.

I had the Kumquart Lemon Green Tea with strawberry popping boba. It was refreshing and not over powering.
Staff was helpful as it was my first visit. They had pictures of the drinks which were super nice.

My wife and I love to visit here since we recently moved to the area. We always like getting sandwiches and Blackwater Bubble tea and enjoy playing games and spending quality time together.
Today (9/15/24, appx 9:30am) we just order the Blackwater bubble tea with almond milk. We both have dairy problems, one intolerance and one allergy. We probably have ordered this a dozen plus times. It comes out looking different than usual, more creamy. Okay maybe something changed with the tea blend, we sit and start to chat. Well we each have a few sips, probably 2 to 4 ounces and we both agree that it's off. I go to the counter and ask the barista if this was made with almond milk. She says it "should have been". Well, both of us are now home, sick.
Its disappointing that if there was a mistake that the employee would have owned up to it. Thank God neither of us have a serious allergy otherwise this would have likely hospitalized one or both of us. A label or even writing on the cups to convey what ingredients go in would go a long way.

Decent coffee, pretty mediocre food. Stopped here on a long drive, won't be saving it to the map. Bet it's a decent local spot if you know what to order, though.

This is my new favorite coffee shop.
The workers this evening were energetic and engaging, made the stop very fun! :-)
Great food and drinks too. Will be back!

Fun atmosphere for morning coffee with friends. The microwaved breakfast sandwiches are not justifiable due to the high cost.

Just moved to the area and this place was recommmeded to me. Drove by so many times and didn’t realize it was here. Upon walking in you order at the counter and then wait. However I did not really have to wait on this Sunday morning. Staff were fast and friendly. My caramel latte is on-point. And although the croissant is a “Midwest style” croissant (more like a roll), my sausage, egg and cheese croissant was awesome. So good!
One star off because I sat in the back in the inviting comfy looking area by the fireplace and the 2 tables between the chairs both need a good scrubbing. They are both sticky and have crumbs. Me thinks it’s not from being open a few hours today.
But what’s important passes the taste tests! Great food and cozy atmosphere. I will make this a regular stop!
