I used to go to this coffee shop at least every Saturday. During the summers, I always get a large ice coffee with no ice. The cost of their ice coffee is already high with about 5 dollars for a large, however, I do like to spend a little bit more to support local business. I ask for no ice because it ends up being about 2 sips of coffee when you add ice. I was told that if I ask for no ice, then I would have an upcharge of an extra 2 dollars. That is about 7 dollars for a large coffee. However, a large coffee is completely undiluted when hot. There is no information about whether or not it is cold brewed or not and therefore worth a little bit more, but in no way should a large cup of coffee be 7 dollars. I choose to go to Common Grounds close by. There, not only is my large ice coffee bigger for less money, they have no problem with filling up a cup without ice and even asked if after adding my own cream, if they could top it off with more iced coffee.

Prices are high. It appears that many of the items here are purchased from surrounding businesses and the prices are marked up. Customer service is poor. Employees are rude. Updated: I find it offensive that you would accuse me at cursing your employees. I do not curse and would never in a public establishment. I am sorry that you believe that your business is much better than they are. It is my opinion that your prices are high and employees are rude. I do not appreciate the retaliatory accusations against me, when you are the one making false statements, when I voice my opinion in a review. You have several outstanding reviews and I am glad that the service you provided me does not seem be a trend. It is my hope that you continue to provide service as you have to others. I just didn't see it. You take offense to all of your poor reviews and post argumentative responses.You say I am harassing businesses. I have posted reviews for 6 businesses in 3 years and many of them...
