Several years ago, Ellianos Coffee established itself as a charming franchise in Valdosta, capturing my attention with its alluring coffee selections. Whenever the desire for a cup of coffee struck during my travels, I found myself frequenting their location(s). However, a significant shift occurred when the brand underwent a name change, leading to a transformation. Unfortunately, the adjusted flavor of the coffee no longer aligned with my taste, prompting me to cease my visits. Recently, a new Ellianos branch emerged near my residence, reigniting my affection for their coffee, especially the Carmella flavor. The proximity of the shop, combined with consistently friendly staff and prompt service, has turned it into a convenient and enjoyable experience. Despite my predominantly positive impression, I assigned Ellianos a four-star rating due to a couple of considerations. Firstly, the cups consistently fall short, being filled only halfway to three-quarters, even when I explicitly request no whip and no foam. Secondly, as a veteran-run establishment, I expected a more proactive approach in recognizing major military-related charge cards used by both active and retired military members.
