Crooked Branch Coffeehouse — Restaurant in Pardeeville

I've been disappointed a few times, to the point where I had stopped going there. Today, I decided to try it again. It was a rough morning and I needed coffee without driving 30 minutes to my normal shop. I asked for a caramel macchiato. The owner had no idea what that is, and when I explained how to make it (super simple), she refused. I'm not entirely sure how a coffee shop owner doesn't know what a macchiato is, so that was irritating in itself. Previously, I was there for lunch and ordered a menu sandwich but asked to have peppers excluded. She went crazy asking why and saying that modifications leave inventory imbalances. Almost wouldn't modify the sandwich.

I was really excited for this place when it opened. I'm just not a fan of how I'm treated when I'm there. I won't be back. Worth it to drive 20-30 minutes to T's Cup and Cream (Randolph) or Julie's Java...

Staff that waited on us was perfectly friendly and helpful. One of us was new to the coffee shop and asked for recommendations. The Barista taking our order was knowledgeable and quickly able to provide suggestions. Our drinks (almond joy mocha with oat milk & pink drink with oat milk sub cherry for raspberry) were very good. The muffin we had (banana chocolate chip) was not to our liking. Other staff was also friendly and delightful. Overall I would return here when in town again. 2 LG specialty coffees and a muffin...

I love the decor and atmosphere of this coffee shop! I often take things to go but enjoy spending time there when I can.

The bakery items are fabulous! All of them!

I have tried quite a number of coffee drinks and smoothies. I have enjoyed them all.

The owners and baristas are always welcoming and friendly. They have treats inside and water outside for my doggos who also give a 5 star rating!

Is incredibly nice to have such a lovely place in...
