Dakota Coffee Works — Restaurant in Dothan

Pulled up to the drive through, heard a very loud groan from the girl inside. She obviously didn’t want to have customers. Ordered 3 drinks, 3 toasted bagels, two with cream cheese, one with butter. She immediately said the bagels are going to take a while. Totally fine we said, we can wait! When we got the boba tea it didn’t have any milk in it, even though it’s advertised as such. Took it back in and she said she couldn’t put milk in it. Weird, but whatever. Got the bagels, two had a cream cheese packet, one had nothing. One Only one was toasted. Took the other two back inside because they were hardly even warm and not toasted at all. She looked at me and said they would burn if she toasted them again. I explained to her if she just toasted them, they wouldn’t burn, because they weren’t toasted to begin with. I watched her turn her toaster up TWICE, seemingly to burn them on purpose. Jokes on her, well they were over done, but not burnt even though she was aiming to burn them. She also said all the butter they had was expired, but she could give it to me if I wanted. Ummmm you sell bagels and you don’t have butter? And why tell me you keep expired things in your restaurant? I was as polite and pleasant as can be, but that girl was rude and not good at her job. We will not be...

Obviously, Dakota Coffee Works has not heard of its competitors who advertise Low-Acid coffee for pleasure (low acid keeps stomach tissue healthy), and pain ( low caffeine (painkiller)), 🤢 only sip 1 🍵 cup). No, a recommendation is not in order for Dakota Coffee Works, even if Dakota offers low acid coffee. Not that I visit Dakota's frequently, but after only 1 visit my mind is made up because of Dakota's lack of interest for us coffee drinkers who don't need Irish Cream added. Dakota's is just another corresponding "cafe" that could have a franchise owned by any football player that uses young people for profit, if not, then I stand corrected honestly with all critically acclaimed feedback. Trying to keep high acid content coffee from exiting up and down when working (farming), especially when it's high in acid like Starbucks, usually causes embarrassing accidents. I have never heard of an owner criticizing feedback from an honest customer. Well, Google approved the feedback as...

From the perspective of COVID safety, this is not the place to visit. Traveling through Dothan we stopped here to get a snack and use the restroom. Not a single employee was wearing a mask or gloves. I ordered a scone and the surly employee grabbed it with her bare hands to package it. While my wife was deciding on a drink the employee put the empty cup she was holding (in her bare hands) back on the stack of unused cups when she realized my wife was getting a different size.

Maybe COVID isn't a concern in Dothan? As my wife is pregnant we wore masks and take all precautions we can. This place made us feel like we were the weird ones for being careful.

Beyond COVID, this is a sweet, very cute and clean shop. Unfortunately we're throwing away what we got here, but maybe it's just not for...
