“Excellent coffee! Very tasty food and I love the woodsy cottage vibe! Next time I'll have to try the pastries!“

“I’ll give it 5 stars but I wish they were open later open on Saturday. Great yogurt and people that worked there were SO friendly and helpful!! Went back for dessert on date night, but they close so early on Saturday!☹️ Unfortunately, living in a small town, I understand. Still sad tho! I was craving that great stuff y’all serve!!❤️“

“Love this place!!! Their green pressed juice is soo good! Asked them to add a scoop of protein to make it my lunch today and omg!!! sooo delicious!! thank yall!!!😍😋“

“My go-to order is the Nutty Irishman Freeze breva. With Hazelnut softop. For a hot drink, I usually get the Kicker extra hot. For the smoothie, it would be Mango pineapple with real fruit topping. Decent size drive-through for larger vehicles, i.e., F450. Can be a little challenging getting out, especially turning left. Depending on traffic.“

“I wanted to go ahead and leave a review with a small, yet puzzling issue I’ve been encountering. I’ve noticed with my usual coffee order. In the mornings, my coffee is priced at $3.52, but in the afternoon, it suddenly jumps to $4.20. Now, I’m all for a good plot twist, but this one’s leaving me a bit confused and a little less caffeinated than I’d like. Today, after what I can only describe as a highly necessary power nap, I returned for my afternoon fix. Still shaking off the post nap fog, I was politely informed that my total was $4.20. (mind you, it’s not the first time) to which I replied, “No, it’s not. It’s $3.52.” The barista kindly insisted, and I had to muster all my strength to avoid using some unflattering language – the caffeine deficiency was real!

Now that I’ve had the rest of the day to collect myself, I wanted to clarify that I order the same thing every time: hot coffee, no sugar, simple and straightforward, just like my mornings. And, while 68 cents might seem small, it adds up especially when coffee is your life force. I do apologize for being a bit stern earlier, blame it on the nap-induced haze, but I would truly appreciate it if you could take a quick look at the pricing discrepancy. My caffeine-fueled days would run a lot smoother with consistent pricing. After all, I just want my coffee journey to be as simple and sweet as, well, a cup of hot coffee, without sugar, of course.
Thanks so much for your understanding, and I’ll make sure to schedule more power naps to avoid future grumpiness!“
