Stopped by to get a coffee for my drive home after lunch nearby. Always gotta try the local coffee if I'm near a shop!
Located in the cute little main drag of downtown Arab, this small shop really does have a very welcoming vibe. I felt at ease immediately and the friendly baristas were patient while I took several minutes indecisively looking over the menu.
It's cozy and warm inside so I can see staying for a cup or two -- it gives more of a "catch up with a friend" aura than a "get work done" aura, which is totally fine! Just not a ton of tables/desks to work at, more of a couch/armchair setup.
They have all manner of coffee, teas (including Piper and Leaf), and a case with pastries. More uniquely, there's a grab and go cooler with dinner items like lasagna you could take home and reheat for your fam, as well as huge and creative milkshakes made to order!
Would love to try a milkshake in the future but didn't want to bring that potential mess into my car, so I wound up with an iced cinnamon roll latte. I was hoping to maybe take a pastry for dessert later that evening but the case was a little picked over so I passed. In their defense, it was probably 2:30 or so by the time I got there.
At first I wasn't big on my latte - it had an odd, almost herbaceous taste that wasn't reminiscent of cinnamon at all. But as I stirred it a little and the flavors mellowed out, in melded into a very smooth, pleasant drink. Think I must've gotten a mouthful of spices or something to start cause it was ultimately quite enjoyable!
Next time I'm in town I'd be happy to stop by again and give them...
Read moreCame here because McDonald's frappes weren't available. I'm glad I did. I ordered the largest caramel frappe they offered, and i was immediately hit with a flavor i couldn't quite name. It was not the overly sweet and intense caramel syrup flavor i was expecting. It was light, complex, balanced. The first thing that came to mind was "tres leches" because there was a creamy note that stood out even more than the caramel. Not too dense and definitely refreshing.
This place is...WAY bigger on the inside than I thought. They also have some really nice antique furniture to lounge on. Lighting is softly dimmed and because of the large windows plenty of natural light.
The price is a bit more than I most places, a large is $7+ and after tip is over $10. The taste is well worth the price, but I can't make it as regular of a thing as I'd like. Fortunately they do have a points system that seems to rack up quickly.
I really like this place, I think i finally found somewhere I can bring my out of town friends to just sit and chat...
Read moreOur first visit to Four Knights Coffee and we were pleasantly surprised! We were visiting family from out of town and decided to stop in and get coffee. It was super convenient and everyone working there was very friendly and welcoming.
We tried the Bennett and iced caramel macchiato. Both were very good and quite sweet at that FYI. They have a large menu with lots of drinks to choose from. Cold brew is one of my favs. They also offer teas including boba which is hard to find these days.
It’s conveniently located off Main Street in Arab with plenty of street parking out front of the shop. There is plenty of seating inside with a home-like warm atmosphere.
They accept online orders and curbside delivery. They also take credit cards including ApplePay.
We will...
