Bricktown Coffee — Restaurant in Jamesport

I use to look forward to picking up a latte at Bricktown Coffee whenever I was in Jamesport. However, their prices have gotten so sky high I no longer stop by Bricktown as often as I'd like to. The last time I visited Bricktown in January, I was stunned to be charged just a little under $7 for a standard plain venti hot latte (I believe the exact price was $6.72). I thought I'd misheard at first so I asked for the total again to make sure, and unfortunately, the price I had heard was correct.

Besides, Kingdom Coffee, a great little coffee place just down the road in Cameron, MO is locally-owned and their same size latte is priced just...

I told her hot but she didn’t steam the milk and handed me a cold latte. When I pointed out that I wanted a hot latte she made a new one with steamed milk but didn’t speak a word - no apology, no thank you, no have a nice...

Cute place. I love buying bread there. And they have fudge. But sometimes the cofeee is good sometimes it isn’t good at all. It’s like Dunkin’ Donuts. And the customer service makes me so uncomfortable. There’s no “hello” , they don’t even look at you, my drink was so full it was spilling and she just said “guess you need some napkins” and walked away. I don’t plan to go back for...
