Deliciously good coffee every time we go and really friendly baristas keep us coming back over and over! Yeah, we're addicted! They take great care in crafting a well made coffee and we appreciate it! Our favorite are the Cafe Mochas.

Kylie was so sweet and willing to answer questions. Their coffee special is fabulous. She was also very sensitive to my food preferences and so very helpful in finding me something I could eat. Will 100% be back again.

Just make coffee yourself, don't bother with the rude service here. Off putting, overpriced, a pure scam that funds rude people.

I absolutely love their espresso drinks. I order a white chocolate americano and every time it’s made perfect and tastes the same, which is good, and hard to find now days. The price is also very fair and lower than what most places charge so it definitely will keep me coming back. And good customer service is a plus as well.

This is my favorite espresso stand. I’ve been coming here for years and the girls are so nice. Espresso is great and they make the best drinks. Kaylene is a sweetheart!

So over the course of the last few years, I have used S&J. Before covid happened, I used to go to this coffee stand every other day or every two days. I ordered the same drink in the same exact way every single time. The manager at this location, the short lady with the black hair, has always been very very rude. There was a mix-up at one point with how much they were charging for my drink and it was never consistent so one day I showed up al(I wish I had saved the punch card from back then because then I would have it to compare to this one.) Anyhow, she ended up writing on my punch card the amount that my drink cost which at that time was $9.85. keep in mind that this was before covid and prices were a little cheaper than. I did not like that she treated me like a two-year-old when it came to ordering my drink and the price that it cost. She would speak to me very rudely and she made my experience very bitter. I have asked several people that go here and they have never encountered somebody writing the price of their drink on their punch card. Anyhow, fast forward to 2024. I stopped going to s&j's for over a year because she left a bad taste in my mouth. The other girls were amazing and they still are but this lady needs to humble herself. I realize that I am only one customer but if you take $10 a day and multiply it by at least 150 days out of the year, it adds up. So,I stopped going there and I started going to Dutch Brothers where my drink, the same exact size with the same exact coffee in the same exact flavor, only cost $7.45. the atmosphere is way better the people are nicer and they don't put notes in your account or write on your punch card (when they had one.) I started going back to s&j's because Dutch Brothers had closed and so for 4 months I only encountered her a few different times and each time she was still rude but there was never an issue with pricing. So, today I went to go get coffee and I pull out my punch card and to my surprise like, a freaking toddler again, the price is written on my card. She is still rude she still has a control issue and in my opinion she needs to be let go. I work with a lot of people and if I ever did this to one of my customers, I would hope that somebody would step in and make sure that I knew this was not okay. You don't write the price on a customer's punch card. You SHOULD talk to your staff and let them know that "hey this regular that comes in, this is the price that her drink should be ringing up to." It is not my fault your staff does not know how to ring up a drink the same way every time. Why am I being made to feel like I've done something wrong just to get a cup of coffee? So I guess it's back to Dutch Brothers I go because they are open now. I genuinely like the roast of coffee that s&j's uses but it's not worth being treated like crap. Like I said, the other girls are fantastic and if it weren't for this manager lady, I wish I remembered her name, I would still be paying three extra dollars just for my cup of coffee because I love their coffee. She ruins my day when I show up because she's so rude. One last thing... I don't t always get the same drink. So, to write a price on my card, is completely unfair.
