I went to our local coffee shop (impressed) to get a black coffee for Mark, to take to his grave I figured I would get myself one too but since I never drink coffee I didn’t know what to get. The only thing I saw on the menu that looked familiar was a “White Mocha” so I asked the girl, is that similar to Starbucks white chocolate mocha? (Because I have had that) she didn’t know so she asked the woman standing in pajamas next to her. She gave me a angry dirty look. I didn’t mean to insult her. She was so rude and condescending. She reminded me that I wasn’t at Starbucks, so no it wouldn’t taste that way. She was so unbelievably rude. They shut the window. Then, several of the girls working inside stood together crossed their arms and started blatantly staring at me. Trying to intimidate me perhaps? When she gave me my coffee, I asked her what her name was because even as she handed me my coffee she was smug and was at that point finding it fun to be blatantly rude to me. She said her name was Jen and there was nothing I could do because she is the owners wife. I won’t ever be going back there again. Small towns, aren’t we supposed to be kind?? The Bible Belt? It’s a shame that people like her act the way that she did. She owns a business, she should represent her business with kindness, professionalism, and respect. I won’t be going back there again. Which I’m sure they don’t care. Obviously they don’t care...
Read moreStopped by Impressed Coffee this afternoon for a quick midday pick-me-up. In the past I've ordered their vanilla and caramel lattes and they are good- sometimes a bit light on the flavor, but I'm okay with that since there's no bitter aftertaste like some of the big named coffee shops you'll find in big cities. Today I ordered a White Mocha and it did not disappoint! Great flavor and it was piping hot which is exactly what I wanted on this cool winter/spring day. The wait in the drive thru was a bit long, but in the end it was worth it, and definitely worth it when you support small, local businesses.
If you're in a town that has an Impressed Coffee then stop in, or by, and grab yourself a pick-me-up! Their pastry treats are delicious to go...
Read moreImpressed Coffee? More like Depressed Coffee. First, you need the patience of a saint (or at least the lifespan of a tortoise) just to place your order. By the time you actually get your cup, you’ve aged five years, grown a beard, and reconsidered all your life choices. The line is so long it practically has its own zip code—I think I saw the end of it somewhere in the highway. To be fair, the coffee is good. But after waiting that long, it should come with a therapist and a commemorative T-shirt that says “I survived the Impressed Coffee line.” 10/10 for taste, 0/10 for time management. Bring a chair, snacks, and possibly your...
