Gave it another try and had an excellent experience. Coffee was great and the staff was great.
Stopped in on Friday morning to get a coffee to go with donuts, and was very unimpressed. Ordered a 16 oz drip, the guy who took my money and handed me my coffee was nice. First time there, and walked around looking for the cream and sugar, then saw what looked like the place to the right of the counter area. No cream and a single bottle of dark liquid. Asked the very unfriendly bearded person for cream and sugar, and he said there is ONLY agave and the cream was right there. I dislike agave, and I pointed out to him the empty cream carafe was in front of him, not on the milk bar. I asked for some cream. He grabbed the carafe and dropped it in the sink, then started to wash it. He then walked to the dishwasher and started unloading it, and before finally pulling a clean carafe out, got his phone out and made a call. He left a message for an employee asking if they could come in, said someone else was a no show, and they were slammed. Hung up. Walked to the other end of the counter, filled the carafe with a mixture of two containers of cream, then walked back, dropped the carafe in front of me, without a word, spun around and walked away. The coffee was terrible. The agave is an acquired taste, and the cream was mixed too far on the heavy side. One sip to try and another to confirm it sucked, and the coffee went in the trash. The experience— for a nearly $5 cup of drip — was very bad and would not recommend this...
Read moreFirst of all, great location. I went there on a lazy Saturday afternoon, while sipping the coffee, it started raining cats and dogs outside and just created a perfect vibe to inspire you to create art. So 5/5 for vibe/location.
I ordered their summer limited edition Iced Pistachio latte and I wasn’t dazzled. 3.5/5 for coffee. However, I’m inclined to order something classic on the menu next time & might update my rating from 4/5 to 5/5
Huge parking lot at the back of L&L market, that’s a big plus for me to not have to struggle to find parking.
I got the Avocado Toast as well, and it was good. I’d give 4/5 to that.
Pro Tip: you can get half portion of avocado toast if you’re like me and can’t finish two toasts and don’t want to waste food.
I recommend this place; and would go...
Read moreThis is hilarious, we may have actually been right behind the lady that gave the 1 start review in line. What actually happened was the barista (very sweetly) explained why half caffs can seriously negatively impact the quality of the drink. My wife is the biggest coffee nerd I know, and she was like "yeah half caffs are a huge coffee sin". So, long story short, don't listen to the 1 star lady.
As for the review I was going to give before seeing that post... This place is great! We love the location and staff down in Franklin, so we've been anticipating the opening of this place. It did not disappoint. The staff is knowledgeable and awesome, it's a beautiful location, and above all, great drinks. Will...
