Launch Pad Espresso — Restaurant in Robinson

Let me start off by saying I am a very big supporter of small businesses, especially in my home town of Robinson. I am not a huge fan of Starbucks, even though some of their products are good. However, when given a choice I will always choose a local small business to support, because they are the ones who really know their customer base in a small town. James and Angela Dodd are awesome people who have given us a new spot to talk about. Abigail the manager is awesome, Le'Ana always has a smile on her face, and the countless others who always greet every customer with a hearty smile and hello. I am also a huge fan of the little messages and pictures they hand draw on the cups. I have always received great service when going to Launchpad. I just beg you all who visit small businesses, remember that everyday won't be perfect and the people who work their are trying hard to make everyone happy. Always go in with an open mind and remember that they are their to provide a service. The door swings both ways and I am a firm believer in treat others how you want to be treated. I love the coffee, try one of my faves: a hot mocha with English toffee or a hot mocha with almond and coconut. The Lemon Cream danish is superb and the meat and cheese kolaches from Bryan are wonderful. Of course the prices will be higher at a small business because remember they are brand new and have to compete with larger chains, all the while still trying to make money. I would rather pay a little higher prices to a place that makes me feel like family instead of paying a lower price to a place that just treats me like a number. Have a blessed day and give Launchpad a try, the people make the...

stopped by when my usual breakfast spot didnt have any sweets for my baby at home. WAY BETTER THAN SHIPLEYS, of course. but i do know those taste exactly like kolches from freezer heb. and i have those at home so i wont make that mistake again... lol the coffee was decent, i appreciate inclusivity (i only drink oat milk). the muffin was okay, i know nothing will be fresh-made, so maybe just coffee next time! i was peppy and excited because I just noticed the place, however the older woman at the drive thru (hopefully not the owner) didn't seem enthusiastic at all and just said "yep. been open for a month." and that was it lol. so i hope for better moral from a place just barely opened, but oh well got the smallest size coffee, a muffin, and 2 the meat and chz kolache for just under 14$ so do w that what u will. lil overpriced for what i got, but that imo

edit: thanks for the response! i feel no need to call any store to leave an honest review, but thanks for the feedback, i think there's a place I usually go to that's not far and makes everything in store that seem pretty cheery in the morning, but I'm glad you're aware and confident in your staff's moral :) didnt know that abt the kolaches or any food places, so 🌈the more u know🌈 btw the bakery and donut place down the road that makes everything in store is much cheaper. the coffee was fine and hooray milk options,...

UPDATE So today I decided to go back and give this place another try. It was absolutely phenomenal, I did try one of their “Blasters” which now has become my favorite item option on their menu with the honey chicken biscuit. I am upgrading my review from 2 stars to 4. This is a cute place to hangout and enjoy time with friends. ❤️❤️❤️ thank you all for upgrading my service experience.

First Experience This coffee shop is nice, the staff are friendly, however I did have a sanitation issue. While sitting in the drive through one of the workers was eating chicken, licking their fingers then later without washing their hands. When my first drink was ready, she turned to hand it to me chewing her food and not having washed her hands. The same thing happened with my second drink which caused the cup to be greasy. I will try back again later this month to see if things remain the same. However, the inside looked clean. The coffee was extremely acidic that might have been from the inexperience of...
