Yo I come here all the time. The lady today 9/28 @ 540pm really gave me a drink that had spoiled milk in it. Tasted so gross and I had to confirm with three of my family members to make sure I wasn’t making it up. Definitely ask for the younger ladies that work because the older lady that stays working the pm shift has a habit of never making my drinks right. I’m so disappointed my go to spot served me SPOILED milk, grosssssssss. I feel so bad for the car that was on the other side of me because I wonder how long she was serving the same one!Update : the workers name is Stacy, once I drove up she knew exactly what I had ordered and denied the chance of the milk being old but went on about how it expires 9/29 (today’s date) whether or not the milk says it’s expired most baristas (I was a barista for only two years and I know this) know how to double check which is easy if they smell it. She must have left the milk out all day for it to spoil like that but denied it so I could be wrong, her only excuse is that she didn’t taste my drink so she only could tell something was wrong by the color difference but gave it to me anyways.. Gross, find better afternoon barista.

The workers were in their own world. Did not wear their masks (had them under their chins, like why?). And the coffee tasted like sugar water. We ordered one hot and one iced and there was no taste passed sugar.

I drive past this stand everyday but today was the first time trying it and I was highly disappointed. It was such a let down because I had high hopes. Maybe it was just the barista but the service was terrible. I started giving her my coffee order, midway she just walks away without hearing what I actually wanted. That was the first upsetting thing. I ordered two hot chocolates as well. When she gave me my coffee it was overflowing so bad it just seeped into my car and I couldn’t even drink it without is leaking all over me. I had to wait for straws and she seemed to have zero intention of coming back after I paid. I am only giving two stars because her coworker saw what happened and when out of her way to try and help. She offered the kids lollipops and was very sweet and apologetic about the matter. Maybe the other lady was new or having a bad day but It was probably the worst service I ever received at a coffee stand.

I gotta hand it to this place the quality and price are amazing. A much more reasonable price compared to Starbucks, Bigfoot, and Dutch Bros and delicious to boot. I was blown away when I randomly stopped by the other day and now theres no turning back.If you havent tried them yet I highly recommend checking em out at least once, you wont be disappointed.

Review №24

Angela was very unprofessional and sexist while tending to a client (my friend) and even drank out of my friends drink which SHE paid for herself. I strongly do not recommend purchasing a drink or any of the sort from this place. It doesnt matter what the barista is going through, she has no authority to disrespect a client by taking a drink out of the drink she paid for and racially profiling her and being sexist. Im all for supporting small businesses but this is unethical, if you have a chance go try out other way more professional and respectful coffee stands ! This place is not it.

Im not a fan of hot coffee cuz no one can make it the way I want it so I always get cold or blended coffee. Spotted cow coffee is the only place that makes my coffee hot the way I like it. Love how everyone friendly there & they got great prices.

The best Peanut Butter and Chocolate Coffee in the State! Friendly service. Good prices.So many new faces now and you guys didnt add the peanut butter the other day that I had requested.Then this morning I get an attitude to a girl Ive never seen there before she kept having me repeat everything all I wanted was a 12-oz mocha hot extra shot and an extra chocolate LOL is that really that difficult you got to make the customer repeat themselves three times I didnt have the music on her anything she was just being snarky.

Review №34

Sat in line for 10+ minutes while the lady chatted to the car in front of me, meanwhile a car pulls up to the other side. The car in front of me pulls off and instead of helping me after waiting so long she helps the other side who just pulled up. After leaving I taste the coffee and it tastes burnt, very disappointed. Only reason I gave 2 stars is because she was friendly.

Review №35

The coffee here is great.....if only the customer service was the same. I had a coffee made for me that was barely luke warm. I couldnt go back to have them remade that day, it so at work I reheated and ultimately threw it out because it was a lost cause. I came back a few days later, and told who I think is the owner what happened. She did not apologize, but said shed make sure this one hot. I was still charged full price. The lid was also on all the way backwards. Any barista or coffee shop owner should be aware that when you place the lid on the cup face the back line of the cup, it will leak or spill..... so adding insult to injury. Now, what she should have done is apologize, and have said this one is on us today. Any person having customer service skills, this should come naturally. Youre welcome for the free advice Spotted Cow. I will not be frequenting your establishment anymore.

Nice baristas and great coffee (worth 5 stars) but management won’t fix the credit card system so that we can tip the girls. I think that says a lot about the guy who owns it. When he fixes that I’ll gladly give 5 stars.

I go to this coffee shop alot. I asked if they could post a flyer for my work. Since i buy there alot i didnt think they wouldnt mind. The next time i stopped in they said the manager threw all of them away. Being a small buisness myself i thought they would support us since they are a small business too. Instead the owner threw all of them away. They could st least given them back so i could put them in a new area. They are not a company tjat supports other small buisnesses that are teying to make it after covid. Very upsetting.im taking my buisness somewhere else

They pull shots way to early leaving coffee very bitter tasting. Also I watched milk that was steamed for my drink get steamed repeatedly for other drinks that were ordered after mine. Never once did I see the jug get rinsed out! I used to love the coffee here but it needs new management ASAP!

Its a nice little coffee stand.I stopped by because the barista got out of the stand to give my dog (who I was walking) some dog treats. Figured I owed them some business in return.I picked up a few muffins (blueberry and chocolate) to bring home from my walk. They were reasonably priced at $1 a piece and pretty good. They seem to be homemade with plenty of blueberries and chocolate chips. Unlike Panera, the top was not crusted with sugar but thats fine.Went back the next week and also got a cup of tea but it was just hot water and a Tazo tea bag at $3 so that was a bit pricey.Still, the barista was nice and chatted while getting things ready and she thought my dog was cute so thats a plus!

Me and my mom tried these guys drinks through Uber after our old coffee shop kept making poor drinks. I order their Redbull energy drinks. After ordering them a few times through Uber, we decided to go and try and find the shop. When we did we went to place our order the girl at the window (long blonde hair, great worker) asked us if we ordered from Uber and named our order! I go get coffee from them every morning and each morning both of the girls are so happy and cheery, the drinks taste delicious also!One complaint I have is that we cannot leave the girls a tip with my card, I need to make sure to always have tip money on us to give to them. I honestly don’t think it’s fair to the girls who give great service.
