Read moreLet me start by saying that I've been going to this coffee shop ever since they opened. Being a small business owner myself, I really try hard to support and buy local. But with that being said, I think after today I'm done. I don't ask for much but a simple "Hello" or "Good Morning" goes a long way. I get it, sometimes you get busy, slammed, and it can be hard to personally greet every customer. But today, I walked in the front door, see about 8 people sitting at tables. There is no customer at the counter. The young man behind the counter is literally whistling while he works. Good sign. I walk past him expecting him to take a brief whistle break just to say Hello. Nothing. I get to the counter and see another man wrapping up in the kitchen. He comes out. Walks right past me. Still no greeting, no acknowledgement of ANY kind. At this point I'm super tempted just to walk out because now I feel like I'm purposely being ignored. For what? For being a Customer?? Finally he sidles up to the counter and immediate asks "what can I get you?". Wow. So you don't want to say hello or anything? Anything? So I order my black coffee (I like to keep it simple), he pours it and puts it on the counter. That's it. Nothing else. Oh, I forgot to mention that I even left a tip because I genuinely try to be supportive of local, that's what I want done for me but I'm done. I've had too many rude receptions from this place for too long. I can and will find another local spot to support. Can't say...
Read moreMy four year old son and I met my cousin here for a coffee date on a Tuesday at 10 a.m. There were only 2 red velvet cookies for sale and my son loved them, the other two were chocolate and he didn't like them, I took them home and the other kids didn't like them either. My son was def being a high energy boy that day and I felt relaxed and welcome even tho he was rearranging furniture and jumping around. There were other kids running around/crying, etc....so it's a good place to go with littles. My cousin mentioned that the gal who waited on her didn't smile or seem very friendly ....the gal who waited on me was very friendly tho and smiled and chatted....we bought our coffees separately, from different staff. My coffee ( almond joy) was really good and I thought the price was also really good. All in all it was a fine experience, didn't blow us away but wasn't bad at all either. I'll prob try them again ( it's half way between my cousin's house and mine) and see what we think about our second visit. Parking was easy, it's free street parking, in a cute, clean, old downtown looking...
