“Discovered this gem while walking around downtown Gastonia! Great coffee, friendly service, and awesome recommendations from the barista. Highly recommend!“

“This is one of the best cafes we have ever visited on this continent! I ate an absolutely amazing quiche and a chocolate hazelnut crunch bar that was out of this world. The owner was super friendly, as was the rest of the staff. I wish we lived closer and could visit every week!“

“Mainly coffee, no matter the flavor or presentation you choose, you will always be surprised by its smooth and pleasant taste.“

“Nice little coffee shop with a good cup of coffee. I especially liked that you can enjoy your drink in a real, clean mug instead of the usual paper or plastic cup—it makes the experience feel a little more relaxed. The barista was friendly and took extra care in preparing my order. Overall, it’s a great spot to sit back, enjoy your coffee, and start the morning.“

“Great community and fellowship“

“I always have a wonderful and relaxing time whenever I visit the cafe!“

“2nd time making my way here for a latte and perfect both times! delicious lattes, friendly staff, quick service, aesthetically pleasing and cozy interior. If I could set up my work every day here, I would!“

“Almond Chips-Chocolate Coconuts-Cookie & Cream-Ice Chocolate Sprinkles & my favorite Maple Bacon-My 2nd visit!!!“

“I ordered a banana split cake from them. That is hands down the best cake I have ever had. I have tried almost every one they put in the display case. would definitely recommend“

“This is by far, one of my favorite coffee shops in the area. The coffee is good and hot (an understated quality). They're always willing to brew a fresh batch when the hot coffee has been sitting. The only downside is that the service and atmosphere can be inconsistent at times. I've been charged different prices for the same item several times. This particular shop is more conducive to in-person meetings as opposed to remote working/ video meetings due to the noise. There is a back room which is ideal for remote working but unfortunately it can become a bit noisy as well (music and other patrons). The lighting, decor, and ambience added pluses.“

“Community based and delicious nutrition“

“Excellent service, delicious dining experience!“

“Had a late breakfast there this morning! Everything was hot and delicious!!! Grits were perfect and the croissant was amazing!!! Everyone was so nice and helpful! 10 out of 10!!!“

“Been a customer for over a year. Friendly, articulate staff, good pricing, quick service, and great coffee. Highly recommend!“

“I LOVE Caribou Coffee! Honestly haven’t tried very many of their coffees because I love the iced vanilla white mocha so much. Not to mention the team that works here is so friendly and consistently makes my coffee delicious!

Also if you come often, it’s worth it download the app! I’ve gotten 3 free coffees and other perks since signing up!“

“I love scooters and everyone always seems so friendly except for one girl. I went there today and gave the young girl my card to pay and just as she was handing me my card, the black lady there was practically shoving my drink tray in my face. Didn't even try to give me time to put my card up. That lady is ALWAYS rude when I come through there. We need a Scooters in Stanley NC!“

“After seeing the reviews, I’m completely shocked to see anything less than phenomenal service. I want to touch base on that first because every person that works here front and back of store are actually so beyond kind. They are making back-to-back drinks. I’m sure it’s stressful at some points, I think something the people lack in this world are probably a little bit of patience!
This place is my absolute favorite place to go to! I have been coming here almost one full year! I do not go to any other coffee shops or large businesses, we have been loyal Scooters customers since moving into town! My favorite recommendation is the peanut butter crunch blender! Absolutely delicious.
I am SO sad to learn we will not have a location local to where we are moving to next. Yall get some blenders for me!“

“Every time i come here no matter who’s working new or senior workers are always so sweet , attentive , and on point !! they do not miss with anything here ! i don’t know how yall think with that blasting music though taking peoples orders 😭“

“YAS!!!!! Big thanks to Manager Sarah for getting it right!!!! And Herman for his excellent presentation and customer service!!! ❤️❤️❤️“

“I often stop by on my way to the salon, and it never disappoints. The service is consistently excellent, with friendly staff who make you feel welcome every time. The coffee is top-notch, brewed to perfection, and always gives me the perfect start to my day. Highly recommended!“

“Located inside Books-a-million.
Lots of seating available. Sit and talk or read a book while enjoying the cozy inside of the book store!
Tasty and unique beverages- I love their selection drinks based on things from books- so creative!
They also have many tasty and unique treat options you can purchase at the coffee shop as well.

Parking: Large parking lot right out front“

“Everything here is wonderful!! Just delicious!!!!!“

“I cannot say enough wonderful things about Tona and the team at the Starbucks in Dallas, NC. Tona consistently goes above and beyond to provide exceptional customer service, and she is truly the reason I make the drive to this location every morning on my way to work.
After a less-than-optimal experience at another Starbucks location in Lincolnton, Tona took the time to listen, fix my drink, and ensure it was made exactly right. Since then, my drink has been perfect every time. Her attention to detail, kindness, and genuine care for her customers are unmatched.
In a world where great customer service can be hard to find, Tona stands out. She always greets customers with a positive attitude and makes each visit feel personal and welcoming. She has turned what could have been a lost customer into a loyal one, and I look forward to stopping by each morning because I know I can count on her.
Thank you, Tona, for your dedication, professionalism, and the outstanding experience you provide every day. Starbucks is fortunate to have you, and your hard work does not go unnoticed! ☕❤“

“Customer service is amazing every time but today shout out to Phillip for making my day! Thanks boo your a shinning star 🌟“

“This place is so cute! We moved recently and have been trying to find a good ice cream spot. Met both owners, who are kind as can be! She told us all the cakes are made in house and I went with a triple chocolate cake sundae, that DIDNT disappoint. 100% best Ice cream in the area. Even had ice cream sundaes for my dogs. Highly recommend“

“My daughter and I came through the drive thru and Lawryn was the SWEETEST barista that assisted us. She was an absolute treasure to work with! Lawryn was both wonderful and knowledgeable when help was requested in products offered. She needs a raise and also needs to be reminded daily how amazing and beautiful of a person she is. Inside and out. Thank you Lawryn, you made our day!!!“

“Sarah and Destiny were awesome! Quick and friendly! I enjoyed talking to Sarah about our travels around the country while waiting for my coffee. The Starbucks across the street is always closed for one reason or another, so I was glad to see this one had seating and the line moved so quickly!“

“I just wanted to share since I felt necessary….my girls and I just went to the Clinton, IA Dunkin Donuts (there’s only one in our town). The African American gentleman that was working was busting his a** doing as best of a job as he could and we wanted to give him a shout out! He was the ONLY one working and the drive thru was crazy busy plus there were people inside ordering and eating also. I asked if he had help coming and he didn’t. This made me sad for him! He kept a positive and friendly attitude throughout it all also! I think he deserves mad props! You were doing wonderful Mr, despite the workload you had and all by yourself!! I hope you get recognized and appreciated! 💙“

“Scott. He is awesome!!! Best employee I’ve ever seen in here. I’ve been coming here for years and I know I can be complicated. Most of the time I would get a mean face, or the wrong order on my coffee. But he made sure I got what I wanted with a big smile on his face!! Great costumer service! I’d definitely come more often now. 😁“

“Why have you been out of Splenda since May? Can't a manager go to the store and buy a box?“

“This is your average McDonald’s if you’re looking for a quick burger, some chicken nuggets or a good salad this is your place. I love their chocolate shakes. The inside of this McDonald’s leaves a little bit to be desired in atmosphere.“
