Coffee Shops in Port Lavaca

“We were visiting PL for a few days and stopped by this coffee shop, I had a seriously great (iced) coconut mocha, and two of my kids had a strawberry banana smoothie, kids sized. While the owner was giving us great information on the town and things to do nearby, the twins enjoyed playing with the puppy. My baby and I were comfortable sitting on the couch and chatting, this was a very memorable part of our trip, and it was nice to have a true conversation! The owners went out of their way to welcome us in their shop. My only wish is that the shop is open later, so we could have stopped by again! If I remember correctly, it is only the two owners working there. Support local!! They are working overtime and provide an amazing service.“

“Compared to other Starbucks that I frequent, this location is leaps and bounds the most friendly, personable and operates on a first name basis that always feels welcoming. When ordering ahead my orders are always ready when the app says they will be and I never have to make adjustments to my order after picking up. The service and coffee are consistent quality that merits recognition.“

“My review of this McDonald's will mirror my review of the Pizza Hut just up the road. Overall, food, and service ratings get five stars. As far as McDonald's food is concerned, it's great, and their fountain drinks are nice and carbonated. I think their diet coke might be better than Sonic's.

Anyway, I'm giving atmosphere a one-star rating for the exact same reason as Pizza Hut. The nostalgic building that, quite frankly, was a staple in Port Lavaca for years was torn down and replaced with a drab, uninviting, colorless rectangle. Bigger restaurant chains like Pizza Hut and McDonald's need to be better about reading the landscape for some of their locations. I totally understand the need for smaller, more modern building in high-traffic areas outside bigger cities. They make sense. However, the nostalgic playplaces, arcades, and vibrant colors are what draw people back in these small towns.“
