Ready Coffee — Restaurant in Town of Hempstead

I’ve been to this coffee shop a few times, and while the coffee itself is pretty good, it’s definitely overpriced—think Starbucks pricing without the brand or consistency. One thing that’s always bothered me is how pushy they are with tips. They hand you a tablet and just stand there watching while you choose, which feels really uncomfortable and unnecessary.

The final straw was my last visit. The barista handed me my coffee without securing the lid properly, and it spilled all over the inside of my car. Total mess. I had to spend the equivalent of 20 of their overpriced drinks to get my vehicle professionally cleaned. They gave me a card for a free coffee as an apology—which honestly felt like a joke considering the damage.

Needless to say, I won’t...

Ready coffee is a 3 star place in my opinion. I live right by the new Baldwin location and I was excited to try it out. I got the peppermint mocha with a $5 price tag. I liked the price because Starbucks is more money. Unfortunately they couldn't nail the peppermint mocha so well, I'm picky about my peppermint mochas too. There wasn't enough of a mint flavor, but if a place overdoes the mint flavor that's not good either. It's a hard drink to get. So I would say I had a 3 star peppermint mocha. I'm not sure if I'll give ready coffee another shot, if I do and I like something else better I'll update my review...

Elijah helped me out earlier today. I ordered the largest frozen coffee because I usually have a lot of coffee early in my morning. I was surprised to notice that it ended up being too much caffeine for me. I had a self-induced anxiety attack, haha.

Elijah gave me prior warning and asked if I wa sure I wanted that size. He was very helpful and made me feel like I was receiving a bespoke coffee experience in the form of a simple drivethrough.

Was the coffee expensive? Yes! Worth it? Yes! Will I return? Yes! Am I overcaffeinated right now?...
