Balanced Coffee Co — Restaurant in Stillwater

Was pretty shocked that for what appears to try and be a serious coffee place that the barista created what looked and tasted like a latte as opposed to the cappuccino that I ordered.. For coffee people, it’s pretty standard to expect a cappuccino to be 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, and top 1/3 a white, thick, velvety foam.

After ordering a “dry” cappuccino, trying to emphasize the importance of the foam by doing that, I was served, a basic latte, compete with light brown top and minimal layer of foam. When I looked at the sad little cup at the counter that was being handed to me, I asked. “Is this it?” And I was told, that yes, that was a cappuccino. I suspect the barista isn’t trained well. Or maybe they just were too busy to make the cappuccino properly, as making the thick foam does take more time than a latte.

In any case, it was a big disappointment for stopping into a place that has such a restricted coffee menu, that I thought they were serious about knowing how to make basic espresso...

Was recommended but sadly was not great. I ordered a Berry type coffee. Was not good.I took it back, and said I would like to exchange this for something else. I can't drink it. I really don't care for it. The girl says I can't exchange it because I made it right and it's not my fault. I said so, because I don't like it. I still have to drink it ?I can add more water , ice or milk to it or you can buy another drink but I will have to charge you for it. I said but i dont like it ,it doesn't taste right. Sorry you can order something else but i will charge you for it. I also order a orange loaf. Though the inside tasted great the bottom half on the...

Gave this place a second change after a bad first experience, and I regret going back. The menu is incredibly limited and overpriced, and the seating is ridiculous. To top things off, my co-worker and I got told their back room (the best seating in the whole place) was "closed" for special events during the summer, despite the fact that the rest of the seating in the shop was full and the back room was open and lit. I really don't know why people would go to this coffee shop when there are three Aspen locations in town with a great selection, friendly staff, and reasonable prices. I won't be going back or recommend this coffee shop to anyone...
