“ Awesome small concept coffee shop. Offering both hot and iced options with a very very smooth house blend coffee. One of my brothers favorites in the area. They always have a line and for good reason. The staff is amazing and get orders moved quickly in my experience. The young ladies that serve the morning shift always have a smile and are very polite. I always get a cup when in town ”
“ It has a drive through! It also has outdoor seating. Smoothies and coffees available. Excellent flavor and syrup options. Plenty of smoothie choices and snacks as well. ”
“ Great, hot sandwich and cappuccino. The young lady was so sweet. She was by herself with a car line of about 4. We were walk ups and took our order quickly. ”
“ Super good coffee! Got the iced latte with the cinnamon bun syrup and oatmilk. Even with oatmilk it was really good! Also ordered the breakfast sandwich in an everything bagel , a frozen coconut coffee also really good!, and a fruit smoothie. One of the top best tasting coffees Ive had, probably better beans or roasting. The other reviews did not let down. The guy was rude But not so much, not in a way that we felt attacked. Seems like all they hire are rude people ”
“ Love this place! The chai latte and cheddar jalapeno bagel are worth the wait ”
“ Wait times can be a little long but honestly, I will always wait, my bagel is always perfect hot all the way through unlike other places where the egg will sometimes be cold in the center. my coffee is always exactly what I ordered Im obsessed with coffee ice cubes! ”
“ This tiny little hut is adorable and it packs a big punch! Is it a little slow with a long line? Yep! Is it totally worth it? Also YES! This is not some massive chain, it is the size of my suv with one person working inside, give them a little grace yall. Now, the coffee is fantastic! I got an iced caramel latte with 12 the caramel to cut down on sugar and it was soooo good! The sweet woman working also got me a little cup with whipped cream for my pup as he associates me getting coffee with him getting a pup cup. I will definitely be back to try the smoothies and other coffee options. ”
