We love it here! We typically order ahead and just have to pick it up and pay when we come in, but the staff are always very helpful and friendly, and the coffee and food are delicious! This little place has grown so much since it opened and it's really the hot spot of downtown Cheraw. Love it!

I love coming here with my 3 kids! We each get an adorable drink and a scoop of delicious ice cream! (Their coffee house cookies & cream is my personal favorite)

Very welcoming and chill spot. I enjoyed trying the seasonal beverages. Staff are friendly and personable. Place is clean and well kept. Variety of seating available from tables to couches to stools. Their baked goods go well alongside their beverages. Ice cream is offered as well if that's more your jam. Will definitely be returning more often in the future!

Yesterday (December 31), my family and I stopped by on our way back to Atlanta around 10 a.m. I ordered an iced latte (16 oz), a hot chocolate (12 oz, but requested that it not be filled completely because it was for a 5-year-old child), and a cappuccino. I clarified that I wanted two espresso shots, as standard for a cappuccino, and only 4 oz of milk. I reiterated these directions several times. I watched the young lady incorrectly pull an espresso shot (I have a background in the coffee industry and have been properly trained as a barista). I informed her that you do not pull a shot directly into the serving cup and that she should use the shot cups on top of the espresso machine. Her reply was, ā€œThis is how we do it.ā€ The shot for the cappuccino was pulled longer than it should have been; therefore, it tasted like water. On top of that, after pulling the shot, she filled the 16 oz cup to the top with extremely hot milk (despite my request for only 4 oz of milk). The coffee was so hot that we were unable to taste it until about 20 minutes later. The iced latte also tasted like water. The only item that was semi-correct was the hot chocolate, but even that was not 100% correct because I asked that the cup not be filled all the way. I stood at the register for a minute or so after she completed my order because I was going to ask her to remake the cappuccino or refund my order. However, my fiancĆ© texted me and told me not to worry and to come on because we were running behind schedule. There’s nothing worse than getting bad coffee when you really want or need it. We try our best to support small businesses; therefore, we intentionally passed Starbucks in Rockingham, NC, to support a mom-and-pop shop. I don’t care for the taste of Starbucks coffee, but had I known the coffee and overall experience would be this bad, I would have stopped there. At least I would have had caffeine for my drive and would have saved money.

I was very disappointed. The coffee had a burned bean taste and was not at all to my liking. The cinnamon roll was inedible - stodgy, doughy, flavorless and served icy cold.

There were two people working the counter and not especially busy but the staff nonetheless took forever to notice and greet guests. I ordered an everything bagel toasted with cream cheese. They didn’t have everything bagels so I got a plain bagel with cream cheese instead. I walked out to my car to find no cream cheese on the bagel. I go back in to get cream cheese added and apparently they don’t have cream cheese either. Maybe that should have been a conversation when I ordered my bagel and certainly should have been mentioned before they handed over my food.

The coffee is good. The service is awful and serving food seems beyond the capabilities of the staff.

I ordered an iced caramel latte with an extra shot. It was all milk and caramel. Overly sweet. No coffee flavor came through at all. The person who took my order barely spoke. Disappointing
