Why support a company that is part of the $290 million class-action lawsuit against Tamara lich and the freedom convoy... I certainly wouldn't... go elsewhere, like a place thst supports rights and freedoms, not a totalitarian government and loss of freedoms..

Yesterday after my swim around 4:15 I decided to treat myself to a coffee mocha. Normally this beverage is far too sweet. This was the absolute best I've ever had. The coffee was roasted perfectly and the blend of chocolate made it exquisite.Wheelchair accessibility: I'm not in a wheel chair but someone was easily rolling around.

Nice coffee and my wife likes their tea and sandwiches (she works right next door). Staff at this location are friendly and accommodating. I've bought their Ethiopian Yirgacheffe blend before to make at home and it's a real treat, though a bit pricey.They only lose a star because they don't open early enough. I would come here more often if they opened at 7 rather than 7:30. 7:30 is a bit late for me with my commute.

Met a friend hereWas decent sound here, enough to listen to music & understand each other! Perfect Only had the 1 cookie as its GF & rest weren't. Had a dirty chai with expresso. Neat lol & happy staff..Dietary restrictions: At least there was a GF friendly option however I have to ask "who is it for exactly?" I've asked Plenty of places who believe they are increasing their inclusivity by having "gluten-friendly" products.1) Anyone who is Actually Celiac can't eat it2) Anyone who is Sensitive to Gluten but not celiac can't eat it3) If & Only If (& yes in This case) the product is Made without the Offensive Flour ? Can or Will 1 be able to eat it. (Today the cookie was wheat & spelt free. I could eat it. Yippee Skippy...)Yes I'm That customer that Will wait until you go check the ingredients even though there are 10 in line-- and the kitchen is across the hall, down the stairs & at the other end of the building.WHY?? Well Not to Be annoying but You have a cookie I may be able to flipping eat & I haven't had any Treats in days that didn't come out of a freezer bag Or make my dam self.It's busy?? Maybe you should create a "dietary regulation " binder such as Other local businesses! ?. You could Pay me & I would Create it for you!!Right after I teach the staff to Use Clean Tongs for the Gluten-free OH MY BAD... GLUTEN FRIENDLY COOKIES! @##@%^$#! 3/5THE Coffee Shop is great, though!! Fantastic. Great job otherwise! Just teach them How to touch GF items even if your establishment won't buy gluten-free products. Plenty of gf bakeries around!

A latte is $4.95 and getting oat milk is an extra $0.75... despite still paying employees minimum wage. That's genuinely insane, even for small batch coffee, even for 2023. HappyGoat upper management has regular scandals & is incredibly messy and problematic. I've been a regular for a few years but they've totally lost my business. I'd recommend going to any other one-off small cafe because HappyGoat is no longer a small business or a community centric one, they're really just an overpriced indie cafe chain. Know this: the feeling you may get that you're supporting small local business is false, happygoat is a rapidly expanding 12 location chain that barely pays their employees enough to survive in their premium locations

Amazing little hole in the wall coffee shop with lots of choices for hot and cold drinks + fresh food choices, more vegan than non vegan choices but overall 5/5

I’m not sure I’m going to go to this location anymore. This morning the barista made a coffee for their friend, who was behind me in line & ordered the same drink, before they made me mine. That’s just bad customer service. But the staff there has changed lately and so has their service, sadly.Plus my dairy free mocha with tip was $8

Our favorite goat location. Be sure to check the "specials" posted all over the counter.I'm not a coffee expert but they use monin syrups which goes a long way.Things can get slow here due to the popularity.

I noticed the coffee shop as I was walking by and decided to give it a try.As soon as I entered, I immediately felt a sense of being overwhelmed. The staff did not exude a friendly demeanor and seemed to be somewhat irritated by my taking time to peruse the menu.Nonetheless, I swiftly placed my order and enjoyed my coffee within the establishment. On the whole, the place was well-maintained, and the music selection resonated with my personal preferences. Additionally, the coffee itself boasted a delightful flavor.
