This will sound more negative than i intend, but the review is intended to manage expectations, especially for those from outside the area.
The good: the place is crazy cute and the outdoor sitting area is full of charm and a great place to read, chat, or do work. The have some vegetarian and vegan options, which is hard to come by in this part of the country.
I've been here a few times and the service has ranged from great (younger girl) to average (middle aged women) to tolerable (I think she was the owner).
The bad: this is largely a matter of perspective and what you're used to, however, most of my issues are what you'd expect from rural Alabama. Everything is single serve.

We both enjoyed our drinks and conversation. Third time was CHARM for us on our quest for...
Read moreBest coffee I've ever had! And I'm huge critic of coffee. My morning doesn't start until I make or find coffee. Never go without it. Was in town for a softball tournament. Had to drive about 10 minutes the opposite way of the fields to get here and I did it everyday for 4 days straight. I got the iced vanilla latte. It was so good I ordered 2 every morning to take to the fields with me! Such a cute place. If it was closer to where I lived I'd make the drive. Thank you for being my saving grace when I was in a town...
