First time trying this coffee shop out. Ordered a small macchiato which totaled $6.15. I usually get a medium from Starbucks which is $5.75. The drink itself was okay and pricing is comparable. I did some work on my iPad while sipping on my drink and used the WiFi which worked fine.
While I was working, a woman walked in asking for hot water so she could add her own coffee packet. She paid $1.14 for the hot water and then sat down. Roughly 4-5 mins later a Jacksonville Police Officer walked in and notified this woman that the coffee shop wanted her to leave. And as requested, she left. She was dressed in somewhat tattered clothing but I am not to judge. Maybe there was some history of disturbance with this woman in the past. The location has a large variety of establishments and patrons. And as a business owner, they have the right to refuse service and request someone to leave, totally understandable….I take issue, however, with the demeanor of the staff after she left. The woman had touched a couple of the counter items. The staff felt all counter items (bagels/etc) needed to be thrown out and new ones made. They could’ve handled this quietly, but rather told other patrons that “we have to remake everything cause she was touching it” “yeah she touched those things so just to be safe”…I felt that it was unprofessional and insensitive to someone else plight. Do what you need to do and show...
Read moreWhile I normally do not write reviews, nor do I find any of them completely trustworthy. Today compelled me to write. Let me start. I love this place. I love the coffee. I normally stop in everyday on my way to work. There is one barista that is absolutely ugly. She struck again today just now. Not the taller of the two. I’m unsure of her name or if she is even the owner. The problem I asked her for a HOT coffee. When she came back with “I always make yours hot”. My reply was no they are not. Please please make my coffee hot. She babbled a minute. I purchased the coffee. Then she went to serve me. Came from around the counter and pulled me aside. And started lecturing me. I said good day, I won’t be back with your attitude. She stated don’t come back Obviously you treat everybody mean. Lord, 1st I’ve never been ugly nor mean in this establishment. 2nd, girl I’m not a child to be lecturing 3rd, all I did was ask for HOT coffee, not something that my grandbaby could drink out...
Read moreI have been here several times and I love it! I’ve taken 3 friends and bought gift cards as well. They can even text someone a gift card!! How convenient is that?!
Definitely try this place out not just for the coffee, but because it’s such a cute atmosphere. I especially love the tiny details, I feel like I see new things each time I go. I used their bathroom the last time I went and found even more fun pictures and quotes to make me laugh.
The coffee is better than Starbucks and I love that I don’t have to wait 20 minutes either. The price is roughly the same which I have no problem paying for a good cup that tastes the same every time. I also get a toasted bagel. I do wish they had a fresh fruit option, like small honey crisp apples, or even bananas.
They have plenty of room and even a small play area for kiddos. This place is an experience (which I love). I am a local here and totally recommend this little spot.
So Jacksonville, “Support your local caffeine...
