I stopped at Katie's Specialty Coffee, Sweets and Treats (CST) on 31 Aug 2023 to get some road trip fuel in the system. I always enjoy trying new coffee shops and supporting those smaller businesses so it was fortunate to find this place during our travels back to Las Vegas. When my wife and I walked in, it wasn't busy at all; I'm guessing because it was later in the afternoon and a lot of people in this city/town already had their liquid fuel for the day? The young lady working the register acknowledged our arrival and greeted us appropriately which is always appreciated.
We both ended up ordering the Fresh Drip Coffee (funny thing is I thought this was "French Drip Coffee" and that's exactly how I ordered it). Although, I have never heard of a French Drip coffee, my mind was thinking that it said, "French Press Coffee." Clearly my mind wasn't all there from the long road trip. Regardless, I was amazed how smooth this coffee was - something you would normally get from a "French-pressed" coffee.
We didn't eat anything from this place so unfortunately we can't provide any feedback/comments on their food/treats. My family and I stopped in this town a couple times now and we were thoroughly impressed with the area. Even though this town doesn't offer that big city feel like we're used to, places like Katie's Specialty CST definitely makes visitors feel welcomed (at least it did for me). And although I only interacted with one employee, she definitely set the customer service bar high for future employees to emulate.
If you're driving on I-70, you should stop here for some liquid fuel and/or treats. If we ever decide to pass this area in the future, we are definitely stopping by again. The prices here are very reasonable and I very much appreciate this business supporting the men and women of the Armed Forces and its Veterans! The facility is well kept and looks new/clean; highly recommend...
Read moreWe tried iced americano, carrot cake and banana bar in the afternoon on 7/5. The coffee were great, so as the cakes. Therefore, we went back the day after in the morning right before we left this lovely town. I thought it would be a good idea to take a nice ice americano with us for a long drive. How wrong I was. We ordered two ice americano same as the day before. This time another young girl took our order. Instead of using the espresso machine like the barista did the day before, she took the placstic cups to somewhere inside of the steak house and put hot dripping coffee inside of the plactic cups. I can tell the coffee is hot since the cups are obvious melting due to the heat. Then she poured the hot dripping coffee into other cups with ice which makes the coffee becoming a room temperature watering coffeeish drink. At first I was confuse and tried to be ok with it, but after a sip of the drink, I found out it wasn't even coffee! It was black tea! I thought that she might take the order wrongly. I went inside and told the young lady about the problem. She insisted that these are iced americano, but she is willing to remake it. Nothing really changed the second time. she put ice into steak house drippng coffee. It turns out the same and tastes horrible. My husband threw away the terrible drink outside of the coffee shop. It was really a terrible terrible experience. I gave it 2 stars because the first time experience was good. Good luck with your...
Read moreWe stopped by Katie’s for a drink and snack while passing through on a road trip and it was so delicious! I’d definitely recommend going here. It was pretty inside, decorated well, and looked super fresh, clean and new! The staff was friendly too!
I got the chai latte and it was one of the best I’ve had (and I’ve tried a lot). My boyfriend got a cherry turnover and said it tasted homemade and was tasty! 10/10 would recommend this place! We will stop by and try the restaurant next time we...
