“Parking sure was easy to find for Coal Mine Coffee and Sweets!

We pulled right up to the front door and parked in a marked spot, for patrons only.

As soon as we entered, the owner greeted us warmly and quickly from the counter. She seated us in a booth, tucked away from the front door.

On the way in, we noticed bagged coffees and tumblers for sale.
It’s a cozy little cafe, with an espresso machine and kitchen to the left of the restaurant.

My husband is the one with a good eye. When he was cruising the menu, he noticed that they served a chocolate chip muffin.
He remembered how much I said I loved those back in college, so my mind was set!

Our server was the cafe owner, and she was friendly and took the time to discuss the menu with us. We appreciated her attentiveness. She walked us through the menu.

When she served my chocolate chip muffin, I was over the moon. Not only did it look the way I had hoped, it was warmed through and through! Melted chocolate chip goodness, here I come.

My husband’s brownie also boasted chocolate chips. It did not disappoint in that category. This brownie had a dense, rich texture, almost like a flourless cake.

As for our beverages, a large home brewed sweet tea was my husband’s pick. How refreshing it was! Not to overpower the chocolate muffin, I opted for a vanilla latte.

It was a smooth, creamy latte and perfect for an afternoon inside.

We enjoyed our trip to Coal Mine Coffee & Sweets! We’d like to go back and try something from the breakfast or lunch menu.

We know we’ll get a great parking spot!

Parking: Parking spots are labeled right out front of the shop. There are 4 or 5 of those. I didn't check, but I bet there is some overflow parking, since there are so many cute shops there.“

“Clean, fast cashiers, and everthing you need, plus more“

“Better than Ihop !! Clean and amazing service“

“Great experience overall, but what made it special was being served by one of the employees, her name was Maria. We went close to closing time and she was energetic and very welcoming. We had a fun conversation while she went about her normal tasks, and I'd just like to recognize her for the exceptional service.“

“First Watch is now our favorite breakfast place to go. It was really bad years ago as far as time to serve. It was so bad we would drive to the one in west end and still be done sooner. After they removed the manager and automated the ordering system, we now give it an A+.“

“I ordered the pimento tomato bacon grilled cheese and it was fabulous! The flavors were intense. It came with cantaloupe, blueberries, and carrot sticks as sides. I also had a decaf iced latte, which tasted just like bold caffeinated espresso. They also had a nice collection of local goodies: soap, artwork, body lotions, etc. to purchase. Overall, my friend and I had a delicious, relaxing lunch.
