Great coffee and friendly service. The cinnamon crunch muffin was delicious! I wish there was more comfortable seating for sitting down to enjoy a relaxing cup of coffee though.

Awesome place. Very relaxing to sit down and work. The coffee? To drive all the way from STL just to grab a cup 💫

Pricey but delicious! Their baklava croissant is yummy, so is there cappuccino with almond milk!

Terrible, condescending employee. Where does any sort of false sense of superiority come from?

I was 3rd in line in the morning, gave my order and waited for my drink. The cashier continued to take order after order after order and never made any drinks. 7 orders after mine with a line remaining, another customer who was next to order even said that the cashier should make some orders. ‘I’m the only one here, this is how we do it’. 10 orders in, zero drinks, 20 minutes later, I finally ask for my money back.

Crazy.

It’s explicably unpleasant staff. The coffee was fine and it’s totally normal to sweeten coffee with a variety of sweeteners. I’m a honey person. Added honey when picking up my drink, used a spoon to stir it in - also a totally normal coffee-preparing activity. The staff person lost their mind, screaming at me, ‘give me that spoon!’ I quickly acquiesced the spoon to them so they could officiously and loudly with great disgust throw it in a bus tub. Apparently, well-stirred honey is of great umbrage in the ‘no soup for you!’ vein. It never occurred to me using a standard utensil in a standard manner could be so problematic. I apologize for sweetening and stirring my coffee in your coffee shop. However, not enjoying being screamed at, I am hesitant to return.

Fantastic coffee and fantastic service!

I can’t believe how slow service is at this place. It literally took 15 minutes for them to prepare a latte when the place was at 20% capacity. At this point all my companions were leaving and I was left alone… Your baristas need training how to process orders at an adequate pace.

This is a great place to study and the coffee is excellent. I stayed until close tonight and lost track of time. When I asked the barista if I could order a drink to-go, she was so kind and made me the drink even though she already cleaned everything. I was THAT customer... Hopefully she sees this and knows how much I appreciated her.

The barista was SO incredibly sweet, I got their spiced orange latte. It sounds strange but I’m telling you that was the best latte I’ve ever had. The perfect balance of flavor and espresso, it wasn’t overly sweet at all. Anytime I’m in Columbia stopping here is a MUST!
