They make a good chai tea latte. I love that they sell food from Fika Table.

Overrated and over priced. $5 for a bagel, just a regular one. I saw the employees microwaving eggs for the $7 specialty bagels and croissants. I mean.... Save your money and your time, just get a Keurig and have a better coffee at home. Also the atmosphere is strange. I asked the employees if they can change the music because it was putting myself and others asleep and they changed it to even worse music. Not very kind or friendly either.

This is a cozy local coffee shop in the sweet Wells Branch community. Family owned. The coffee beans are well sourced and coffee is roasted in-house, small batch. The staff is always friendly. It's a great place to study or work, but could also be a great place for families! There's a baby/toddler play area, a pacman machine, and a foosball table. We love this shop so much!

Coffee is good but they always give it in to go cup even when asked 'for here'. And the plasticwares with food orders!

It's a nice space with some decent offerings. But, all the ambience, service, and seating aside, what matters the most are the beverages. Just felt a bit short changed on my drink. I think the cup was about 40% filled with the rest just being foam. If they could provide better value per drink, this is quite a decent place otherwise. Seating was comfortable and every group can be spaced out. There was a pacman arcade box with nice decor overall. Friendly service.

A delightful neighborhood coffee shop with relaxed seating, board games, and Pac-Man. Food is fun, with good ingredients and bagels daily from rockstar bagels. Specialty coffees are flavorful rather than just sweet, and their drip coffee rotates through local blends. The one I got was solid, and I had it black.
Cardamom bun (5/5) - cardamom is like cinnamon in that its a spice that goes in sweet things, but isn't sweet. It was fantastic - soft and chewy on the inside, with crisp baked strands on the outside.
Brancher bagel (4/5, shown) - the everything bagel is 5/5, and dense and chewy like a bagel should be. It's not sweet at all, which is good. Theres a stack of meat and a thin cream cheese holding it all together. The cream cheese could be thicker, but the flavors mesh well.
Avocado toast (5/5, shown) - appealing to look at, tastes great. Good ingredients make for good meals.

It's a good spot.

Ate breakfast here at the Bratton Lane location. Family-friendly atmosphere, and plenty of comfortable space for working remotely. Love the coffee.

Heads up for trans people, they will gleefully misgender you. Not a queer friendly staff.

i used to be a regular at malone but my passed two visits have not been great! i think my coffee is burnt or the espresso machine may not be calibrated correctly!

it not only tastes acidic, but looks and smells not that of a latte. i got the austin dream. last time i got their seasonal peppermint mocha, which lacked both peppermint and mocha.
save ur $7 for a latte elsewhere! 🫣

Great little coffee place with yummy food too. Don't forget to grab a punch card!

I have been a customer here quite a few times, and overall the coffee is good and so is the food.

However I must agree and further state that the service from the baristas is terrible. They usually don't mess up, but when they do and you ask them to fix it, they really do look at you like you're dumb and as if it's your fault.

I order the same thing every time, EVERY SINGLE TIME, and once I noticed that my drink wasn't made with oat milk. No biggie. I DID pay for the oat milk sub, but it wasn't on the cup. When picking up my drink, before even grabbing it I noticed and asked if it could be fixed. The 20 something yr old girl just looked at me, rolled her eyes, huffed and begrudgingly remade it.

Why, why why does everyone in customer service act like this? It's not just Gen Z, even older generations do this now. I get it, you want cute girls working at your store, but looks aren't everything.

Get kind and helpful people. Thx.

Malone has a friendly neighborhood laid back vibe! On our most recent visit we enjoyed the almond bun and a lavender lemon bun. Both were yummy!
We also enjoyed a few games on their free pac man arcade game!

I've never actually been to the location but I order from Doordash all the time and love their Carmel coffee, bagels, and ABLT.
