Best coffee and Red Bull infusions around!
We ordered a Med Roast coffee and a hazelnut cappuccino, 2 breakfast sammiches. SOOO GOOD!!! Hubby says the coffee is outta bounds and the cappuccino was the best!!! $18 for breakfast...not bad at all and VERY GOOD šššš
Stopped for the first time today. Avocado toast was amazing and my coffee was delicious. Thanks for a great breakfast. ā¤ļø
Coffee was lukewarm at best. My son got s'mores latte and he said it tasted nothing like a s'mores - he also got a slice of cheesecake and it was dry outside with a weird texture inside. The only good thing was an apple pie muffin I got. Hopefully it was just a bad day because it was a very nice shop.

There is a freaking dinosaur out front !!! That is what brought us in. But the coffee choices and the cookies are what will keep us coming!!! Absolutely delicious

I really like this place.
Although thereās an expected wait when I come due to them being a bit short staffed or the occasional personal inefficiency, I really enjoy it.
TODAY does not fall into the previous description (apart from the wait; however, it was the latest of waits since Iāve been coming here).
I tried the drive through for the first time in my 10 or so visits in the last month, I ordered the blackberry cold foam white choc cold brew Iāve gotten repeatedly (I usually donāt care for the sweet stuff but this is fire).
I get it light-iced and less cream.
After being put on a 6min hold at the drive through speaker, the young lady took my order + a blueberry lemon cookie I thought I saw a week or so ago.
She repeated back my order and everything sounded great⦠sounded.
As I got to the window, which is a super cool, house-style window (kinda inefficient but that seems to be the play these days), the girl took my payment and handed me this dried out, pancake of a cookie (not only bc of the size but more bc of its spongey consistency?) and āsmallerā drink(not the large one that I ordered), full of ice and tons of foam = no coffee.
After I said I was mistaken, the cookies I was thinking of looked so good a few weeks ago, this looked like an old dried pancake with blue frosting and a lemon gummy on top ? I was so mistaken & this tasted horrible and wasnāt fresh or maybe over baked and missing ingredients or something⦠it was terrible.
She was nice and said she removed the cookie charge after I had given it back to her. (āRefundedā)
Well, I looked bc my confidence in this establishment waned and not only was I not refunded but I was rather charged two times for my visit.
Bruh.
This is crazy.

Over a 45 minute wait for pizza. A group came in 10 minutes after i did and ordered food and and got it before I did. I guess when you know someone in the kitchen you get prioritized. Pizza did taste good but the organization of service was sub par

I got the pizzabolly and a regular round cheese pizza. They were both cooked very well, but it was thin pizza, but very tasty. Then, the next day, my son wanted to try the square pizza, and he said it was the best that he's tasted in a long time. The only problem is they close to early.

Convenient location. Iced coffee drinks are more like milkshakes. Just did a drive through so only based on that.
