This little shop is on the way to my mothers, so while it isnt part of my daily routine it is one of my favorite shops. I love that it doesnt matter what time I stop in I can depend on a good coffee.

This specialty coffee stand makes my coffee perfect every time! They are fast, friendly and the most reasonably priced around. You must try a cold brew or the new natural energy drink red lotus.

@Leah Lattin you mentioned that this was your favorite coffee shop, so you must like their coffee. They must make good coffee. Let’s just clarify that. Instead of such a demeaning review, try speaking to the manager in private. I think that would be a more beneficial and proactive direction instead of publicly shaming your “favorite” coffee shop.I’ve always had great experiences each time that I’ve gone through there and a little conversation of concern goes a long way 😉

This used to be our favorite coffee shop that we visited regularly. But since Covid19 start they refuse to wear masks, face shields, gloves and they dont wash their hands in between each customer. I will NOT go back until they care enough about their customers and each other to use the mandated Covid19 precautions or until the pandemic is over. Highly disappointed in this coffee shop. Owner doesnt require them to care about the customer or each other I guess. Go go the coffee shops that care enough to follow the pandemic health precautions and care about their customers enough to mask up and glove up.

Review №31

Ordered a medium latte, but I opened the cup and found that it was only 3/4 full with the foam. It tasted like burnt beans and was not good at all. The employee who served me was only wearing a face shield and no gloves. Wouldn’t recommend this place for the price I paid and the product received.

My wife says blended mochas are the best.Sometimes they lack the attention to detail, they forget certain details bur thats expected from lots of places that gets as busy as this place can be, they certainly remember a face and are friendly,Have also gotten Italian soda that taste pretty much straight club soda.Will continue to come here.

The ladies working here are always super friendly and efficient in getting people taken care of. Theyve got a great selection of hot and cold drinks to choose from as well as some smaller food items. Im there roughly every week or so as I live around the corner from the stand and the service is always great!

Review №49

Best cold coffee drink I ever tried -the almond roca and add caramel sauce.And also my wifes smoothie was the best ever also! (she mixed all three flavors) .never enjoyed drinks that much.i ended up drinking both of them🤣.The girl is also amazing that worked there.Had 5 cars on each side of the coffee shop and kept everything under control and even answered the phone to me before I go there!(I was wondering if they were open during the scamdemic) I was actually in a Starbucks drive-thru and it was too long of a line when I called then when she answered and said shes open I went there and I will never go back to Starbucks if Im in the area this was so much better.

One of the best coffee places in the area. They’re fast, the coffee is always good, the staff is pleasant and I’ve never had a bad experience. I’ve been going to this location (they have another that just opened up on Meridian in Edgewood) almost daily for well over a year and have never had a bad experience.

In my Americano they decided to put 5 shots which nade my coffee extremely bitter. One server seemed annoyed that I came by to ask why my coffee was that way. Giving two stars since they offered to remake it.

After over a year of giving this establishment the benefit of the doubt I am DONE!!!!My first experience in this shop Dallas dropped my drink (Iced Raspberry Redbull) through my car widow all over me. I was beyond blown away, took her rude apology, a roll of paper towels and left.Given my employer frequents this establishment for our office coffees I decided I would give Dallas & The Coffee Bear the benefit of the doubt on her integrity and although she is condescending and rude Ive told myself it is a matter of convenience to frequent...After this morning I will not being going back. Monday 10/3 the hot drink I ordered was cold, when I called to express my concern Dallas knew immediately it was my drink, giggled and stated she would put a few free drinks on my account to make up for it. This morning 10/6 when I arrive she named my drink at the window, smirked and proceeded to heat the almond milk up to the point it smells burnt, after allowing it to cool and sipping it the burn taste is beyond drinkable! Not to mention when the cashier rang my drink and muffin top she stated my total was over $6 I evened out my total on the receipt giving one last benefit of the doubt and then was told when I handed my slip back that I am half way to my 3rd free drink.... I asked why she didnt use my free drink coupon and she stated I could use it next time and laughed!Beyond disgusted with my drink, the service and the fact time and time again I assumed Dallas not only had integrity but some sort of ethical conscious. I will be researching local establishments that may be a little further but hopes not even my employer will support this business after today!

My office is just up the road and we come here every day to get coffee. Heather, the morning weekday barista is awesome; she always remembers our order and if I forget to write something down on our list - decaf instead of regular or something - she remembers. Shes saved my bacon a couple of times by remembering details like that. Ive never had a bad experience with this coffee stand, with any of the baristas. If this is on your way, I highly recommend stopping by.Also, they have white coffee, which is delicious and my favorite drink ever!
