- Holly WhitfieldApril 11, 2014Their "coffee" is all espresso, so if you order a regular coffee you're actually getting an Americano (espresso and hot water) so every cup is made to order, and nice and strong Also try the Duffin. Read more
They have coconut & almond milk! Kiss that Starbucks. And they have fresh fruit, DT Starbucks does not. Friendly(ier)* staff. Brkf sandwiches are tasty(ier)* [*than SB]
Only local coffee shop I haven't had one complaint about. Great lattes. If they have the freshly made gingerbread, get a piece. You will not regret it.
Iced Raspberry Mocha is the best coffee drink in town. And you can get a great ham, cheese & egg bagel any time of day. Eggels are the way to go.

Sharbour RayNovember 30, 2018Some of the best fresh baked pastries! The "Everything" bagel is my favorite!
Nicolaus SherrillJanuary 10, 2017I grabbed a simple americano. Super smooth, velvety flavor and texture.- They will track your coffee purchases by your name, but you have to ask. You'll earn free coffee after 10.
Great place to sip tea with a friend... hot wii fill spot :-)
- The Dark Roast Americano is the perfect early morning caffeine jolt!
Jessica EngleMarch 18, 2018It's overpriced for what you get. They make a good dirty chai, but I thought the latte I got could have been less watery. Staff was abrupt and yelled at people to not stand in front of the counter.
- Ham, egg and cheese is even better on everything bagel than whole wheat. Melty goodness any time of the day.
get an frequent card and get a free drink after purchasing 10 drinks. save you're freebies up for later :)
Joshua PfahlAugust 6, 2012Coffee was some of the best I have had, but don't get the breakfast sandwiches. Processed egg, bagel isn't toasted, and meat was poor. Go for the pastry instead..- Chicken noodle soup is surprisingly good for coffee shop food. I believe them when they say it's homemade!
- Passion fruit hot tea with almond raisin granola bar :-)
AndrewSeptember 4, 2019The cookies are very good. Disappointed in the coffee. The iced coffee wasn’t even brewed. It was a Nescafé style product stirred with water. Lame.
Sometimes I don't know if they could be more rude. Such a shame because most of the time it's awesome
