12 Stories by Coffee Experience — Restaurant in Farmersville

I love having this adorable coffee shop in downtown Farmersville! It’s the best spot to go meet with a friend when you just want to linger and chat. Their hours are great too, I’m so thankful they are open in the evenings.

Now onto the coffee. The coffee is great. It’s smooth and not bitter. They make their syrups and such in house, which I appreciate. However, what I deducted one star for is because they are quite stubborn and do not typically allow you to altar your drink in any way. Example: they have a mocha and they have a hazelnut latte. If you request a mocha with some of their hazelnut syrup added, they will tell you no.

This is so silly to me. I’ve been to other coffee shops where they have done the same thing, so I know they aren’t the only ones. But I feel like this was a trend we saw more about 10 years ago, and most craft coffee shops have since become more flexible and willing to adjust drinks to the customers liking. Hopefully 12 Stories will become more flexible in the future because I really am cheering them on and hope they stick around a long, long time in Farmersville. We...

The coffee it'self wasn't horrible but I've had better, the girl who took our order was very kind but the guy behind the counter making the coffee was very rude, we ordered two iced lattes, I asked to have Carmel added to my vanilla latte but was told that they can't add it because it could mess with the consistency of the drink which does not sound accurate but I accepted it and asked if I could have a small amount of Carmel syurp on the side to add it in myself and again was told no. That too would have been fine but the guy started saying " if I do that and you add it to the drink and don't like it then its on me and you'll give us a bad review" I didn't say anything else and just decided to pay for my drinks so we could go, but as we sat there waiting for our drinks the guy continued to bad talk other coffee shops that do let you customize your drinks and the people who order custom drinks. My husband and I will NOT be returning for the simple fact that the guy behind the counter was extremely rude...

This place is great! Sierra, one of the baristas, was kind and very helpful in helping my brother and I choose a good, iced drink. We went with the iced vanilla latte. They use fresher milk than most places and coconut sugar to prevent the drink from becoming overly sweet. This technique worked to make a great latte in which both the coffee roast and vanilla flavor can be richly tasted without overpowering each other. The ambience here is also great for studying or just chatting with some friends. Definitely check this spot out if you get the opportunity!

Update: Came back for another visit about 3 months later while visiting from California and had another 5 star experience. This time I tried their chocolate cake and it was so good! The service here is seriously some of the best I've ever had out of the 50+ specialty coffee shops I've been to in California and Texas. Keep up the...
