We were driving through Salina and needed a cup of coffee. When we saw the Yelp listing for here we…read moreknew we had to try since we always have great experiences with drive thru coffee shops like these. When we got to the window we were greeted with the sweetest barista who was happy to help and a gem to talk to. We ordered the Ember Latte with Oat Milk, the Fireside Latte with Skim Milk, Blueberry Scone, and Oatmeal. Yum! Everything was delicious and even better that everything was homemade. The Ember Latte was the perfect balance, not too spicy and not too sweet, and the Fireside Latte was very flavorful and prepped perfectly. My dad who is not a fan of blueberry was beyond thrilled with the scone. This is a definite stop when you're in Salina!

I was very happy to see that they have cold brew. They have some interesting seasonal selections. I was quite interested in the honey cold foam. I decided on a cold brew coffee and it was made to order. I liked that it was a strong, bold roast. It was exactly what I needed for a road trip. Benson waited on me and he had excellent customer service. He was so friendly.

Been here a few times in the last month - service has always been great and staff are super friendly. Pretty decent menu; and prices are great too.

Their regular menu looked wonderful and they also had an extensive seasonal menu. They also have food and milk substitutes The service at the drive-through window was exceptional and she was very kind and friendly. I cannot remember the name of the drink I ordered, but I know it had salted caramel, cinnamon and pumpkin. It was not your average pumpkin spice latte. It was a step above! The flavors, the aroma, everything about this coffee made my day. I also ordered the ooey gooey pumpkin butter bar. If you think about the size of a regular dessert bar versus this, not only was this about the size of two you might normally get elsewhere, but the quality and the taste let you know this thing was homemade and made with love. I'm not afraid to make longer road trips for great places, especially when it comes to coffee or food. I will definitely be back to try more and to visit the inside which looks adorable. Whether you live close or you're passing through the area, stop in or go through the drive-thru. They will be ready to welcome you with smiles like they did me!

This place is a little more than 2 miles off highway 70 as general fyi. The signage for this place is kinda small- the name is written on the window but not on the awning over it. Plus it shares space with some kind of little store which I would have loved to look around but they were closed. Probably saved me money and time!
