Lavish Coffee Bar — Restaurant in Jasper

I had such a mixed experience here yesterday. My first impression was that the décor is super cute and cozy. I saw the pics on previous reviews and was already impressed. They have three different seating areas, all with soft, comfortable seating options and size-inclusive seating, as well. The front seating area is the smallest. I chose the back room seating area which is set up like a home living room with a couch. My only disappointment with that seating area is that it has a TV that was set to a sport station. I also sat in the outside seating area for a bit which is the largest of the three. It's covered, which is lovely for the summer, but also handy since it was raining when I visited. The AC unit is rather loud but otherwise it's perfect out there! I noticed a no smoking sign out there, too, which I appreciated.

Unfortunately, when I walked up to the register, the middle-aged cashier just stared at me silently. I had to initiate conversation. I asked if they had any blended drinks and was met with a continued blank stare. After a few interactions with the two baristas behind her, I was informed that any of their drinks are available frozen, which is their term for a blended coffee or a frappucino/frappé. I placed my order for a caramel Pecan drink and then was asked if I wanted whipped cream. I asked if it was dairy-based because I don't like non-dairy whipped cream and could see that the cashier was visibly annoyed at my question so I politely joked, "I'm asking you all the hard questions today, aren't I?" A perfect opportunity for a little customer service finesse was lost as she responded with an eye roll, "Yes, you are." My drink was made instantly by another barista. The drink was good but it did have a faint flavor of banana, for some reason. Maybe the blender wasn't rinsed enough after making someone else a smoothie? Anyway, the entire interaction with the cashier was made without a single smile, which I found odd and off-putting for a Southern establishment. I don't know if maybe it was her first day or she was just having a bad day, but it definitely left a bad taste in my mouth.

I asked to use the restroom and was directed through the attached clothing boutique, which I also found a little odd. The shop is very cute, while overpriced. I noticed some Biblical references posted around the shop. Worth mentioning, I thought.

I was delighted to find out that they have a well stocked Little Free...

Edit: I’ve been back to lavish a few times and they definitely have redeemed my first impression. Their lunch sandwiches are delish and they serve them with a deli pickle which I am addicted to. The hot coffees are delicious as well.

We went to Lavish to get blended coffees and bubble tea. We decided to get some sausage, egg and cheese croissants as well. My daughters got peach bubble tea and blueberry bubble tea. They both said they were just ok. My fiancé and I both got blended caramel coffees which look very pretty, but they messed up our order and gave me almond milk and her regular milk (she's lactose intolerant). Although the coffees were a miss, I was excited to try the sandwiches. My first bite was pure disappointment. It tasted exactly like those Jimmy Dean sandwiches you get from the frozen section at Walmart. The people were nice and the atmosphere was as well. I'm not going to say I won't be back, because this could just be an off day. But I can say my first experience wasn't the best. I'll give them another...

Love the way that I am being able to get greeting from my first step in and around the entire place mood is blessed with joy and happiness and joy in all of those moments of the entire detail of the desire of Carmel Moco and how to get organized manor respect and the ability to make sure that the person who has been in the same position as a good size small double shoot espresso top cool wipe small size and right on nail on temp to get it out and I can make sure it is know of and how much I will never be able to do this day even if it is just me if you are still not tried to do it if there is any chance you not and if so don't want to get it to be a little more brave and then give the time Lavish to great people who have a lot love in more than just great coffee and treats like a good size shirt gifts and getting away from a few crazy things set up for the setup of space and time for each other so it is a bit south country bread with style and personal use for a long time in your...
