This was my 1st visit. I found it in a Google search for "coffee shops near me" & decided to go because most reviews were very favorable. Well, I have to say, I don't know what others found so spectacular as this is just another average place to get coffee. It really seems that the reviews are inflated. For example, the menu is VERY small & limited with only about a dozen coffees, including 4 different flavored options, & 4 different teas, & 3 different muffins, banana, chocolate chip, & blueberry. My coffee (happy camper) was ok, nothing special... the ones I make at home have more flavor (I'll stick to those). I also ordered a banana muffin, warmed & in a to-go bag, which the girl taking my order repeated back twice. Got to my table to sit down & enjoy, only to find a chocolate chip using in the bag! When I went back to the counter to let them know, she responded with a huff. So, those (inflated) reviews do not correctly rate customer service. Perhaps they were having an "off day", it was only 2 young girls working. However, they both spent extended time chatting with female customer (obviously a regular) as I stood there with the wrong muffin in hand, waiting & waiting & waiting for them to address me. They did readily take the already warmed (slightly) muffin back from me & placed it back in the display box where they were kept & sold from & replaced it with the correct one. It's pretty concerning as that muffin had already been warmed & served. Granted, I did NOT touch it, but I know for a fact that the DOH would cite them for such an act if they witnessed it themselves. The atmosphere is nice & open, but it has a few real estate offices within the same shop along the interior wall... It's just kinda weird. It would be a nice, relaxing atmosphere. However, on this particular day, they had a guy drilling inside to hang a piece of wood on the wall. Of course, this made for an inability to sit, relax & enjoy a nice peaceful conversation with the friend that came to meet me & catch up. I think the place can have potential if they expand their menu & complete any/all drilling/wall hanging...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreThe locals coffee place for those along the 210 corridor serving Kookaburra coffee (local roaster). We began visiting about three weeks after they opened. We have chatted with Mike the owner and staff several times as they expanded their hours and menu options.
We have tried several of their drinks iced or hot. Favorites include the Vanilla Iced (iced cold brew), Rainmaker (latte with vanilla and cream), Happy Camper (latte with honey, cinnamon and vanilla), Road trip (latte w caramel and cream), and The Social (latte with chocolate and coconut). The teenager loves the Lotus energy drinks, made from the fruit of the coffee nut to provide the caffeine. Variety of flavors there and even some off the menu can be available. Add some soda water to carbonate it if you want it.
Recently added some treats mostly baked goods including gluten free options. Also serving wine and beer with the hope eventually to add charcuterie according to Mike.
Staff are always friendly and willing to explain drinks and they also support a local dairy for their milk products. I've seen the milk delivery and interaction with the delivery person which is one reason me and the family frequent this coffee shop instead of ye olde Starbux just across I-95 interchange. There are some table games available and of course free wifi if you need it. Occasionally you will see laptop warriors visiting, knitting groups, high school students after school, realtors meeting clients (the shop is an extension of what originally was part of the realty space containing Pour Mikes).
Chill atmosphere and varied seating. Usually music going which varies.
Oh they also have a repeat offender rewards program tracked through the Cash App and they also have their own mobile app for order ahead (very handy). Rewards are point based which convert to a percentage off your order.
I hope they continue to make this more local in terms of expanding some food options and maybe some events (coffee tastings maybe š„, wine tasting sponsored by their distributor, all sorts of...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreI recently moved to this area from the Pacific Northwest, and I started a hunt to find my new āgo-toā local coffee shop. I can safely declare that Pour Mikeās Coffee House is my new go-to for so many reasons.
The service was over the top. The workers greeted us the moment we walked in and were ready to help us when we were ready to order. The guy (I didnāt catch his name but 5 stars for sure) clarified the drinks for us and gave us recommendations which was very nice of him. I ordered my drinks and went to a table with my brother, waiting for my name to be called and I was pleasantly surprised that the worker brought it to my table. That just made my day because itās a small gesture that made service 100%.
The atmosphere was also so cozy and homey. I had read some reviews saying that they thought it was weird that the cafe was connected to a real estate office, but honestly⦠no one is affected by that. The decor is very nature-themed and welcoming too and that was exactly what I was looking for. Thereās also plenty of seating - and a couple tables in the shade outside too - which is great if you want to dine-in. I saw a couple people having business meetings or working as well as those just meeting up with their friends or sitting and enjoying their drinks. Thereās a couple games around that you can play, such as Connect 4, which I thought was a lovely touch that I hadnāt seen elsewhere.
The drinks were also amazing. I got the Blue Lagoon lotus drink and it was really delicious and refreshing. I would definitely get it again. The Iced Road-Trip and cinnamon roll was also yummy according to my brother. ā The coffees/teas come in sizes of 12oz, 16oz, and 24oz and the lotus drinks come in sizes of 20oz and 24oz. ā
With that said, I would love to see some breakfast sandwich options or bagels come in the future, for those who want a heartier breakfast option alongside their drink rather than a pastry.
All in all, I love this place, and I forsee it becoming a staple in my weekly routine. Canāt wait...
