One of my favorite places to get my coffee anytime of the day. The workers there are always so bubbly and kind customer service is great. But what do you expect during a coffee shop they're probably all hyped up on coffee. LOL

Such friendly service! A lovely gal in a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles shirt helped me at the stand and she knew just what kind of drink I was looking for! Service was so sweet and the drink was delish!

The coffee was really good for a great price! Definitely like this more than Starbucks... Would ask for less sweet or an extra shot for the java chip smoothie if you don't like your drinks sweet. Other than that their coffee is perfect!

The bright, sparkling raspberry Italian soda for me. And the frozen hot chocolate for my son. Flavors are rich and bold. Line was incredibly fast. Baristas were friendly and polite (without being over the top). Price was much less than other places. My go-to coffee/ treat drink spot from now on! Power Rd. location

Great service! Coffee was delicious but a little pricey. Still better than Starbucks though. The real deal though was the pop pops which I purchased for my three dogs. At $0.50 each they were amazing value and my pets love them! I will go back there just for that and pick up a coffee too! Great marketing!
