I've been meaning to try Cup of Joe as I pass by the branch every time I'm on 5th to get groceries nearby. Today, I finally grabbed a coffee with my friend to kickstart this cold Sunday and I'm so glad we did.
First off, the branch is clean, tidy, and bright. It's an all-glass front so you can watch people walking by while you sip your drink or wait for your order.

But I had stopped going for a while since some of the employees were snotty and the coffee started tasting burnt. But this is about yesterday, I walked in and asked for an Iced Peppermint Mocha (with oat milk) and a Nutella Banana Bread it all came out to $12:82.
