I usually stop at Starbucks on road trips to the Smokies to grab a quick breakfast, but this time I…read morewanted something a little fresher, so I discovered Poets Coffee. Vibes - I really liked the interiors like just a couple of wooden tables and chairs, a shelf with books, and a little merchandise on display. The café has good street parking, which was such a relief. Bites - My husband got a bagel with eggs, and I chose a bagel with herb cream cheese. The bagels were cheap, but when I saw the size, I understood why. A bite in, I could tell they weren't the freshest. They weren't stale, just a bit drier than usual. I did, however, really like the herb cream cheese. I also ordered a mocha, which was pretty mediocre. Service - The staff was polite, though the food took a little longer than expected. I noticed some coughing while we were there, and with flu season going around, it did make me slightly concerned.

The music is super loud outside, but the employees and coffee have always been amazing at this location so far! Been a fan of DB for about 5 years now. Will be back!

My husband and I decided to try this ice cream place this past Saturday night, Aug 1, and we won't…read morebe back for several reasons. First of all, we decided to go through the drive thru since there were no parking spaces available. Why on earth move your store to a spot without enough spaces? That decision was frustrating b/c the young thing taking orders was chatting it up with the car ahead of us while we, and at least three cars behind us waited. Patiently. I even had time to get out of our car in order to read the menu as to be ready with our order (need a menu cars can read b4 reaching order taker!), to be expedient. Finally got to order taking step and out of: Strawberry syrup, chocolate syrup, lactose free flavors and bananas, and who knows what else, as those are only the items that affected our order! Finally got through that ordeal and pulled up to the window. Imagine our surprise when, after paying just a hair under $20, we got a banana split, with no banana as expected, but also without the sauces my husband ordered! It was plain, save for some paltry crushed nuts. My "medium" sundae, the largest offered, was in a 9oz cup, not even filled up, see picture taken. When I questioned the girl at the window if I had indeed received the "medium", she assured me that I had, and that "it was even measured"! Oh my. My advice? Unless they see the light on customer service and make ordering changes to ensure Saturday night crowds get what they want, there will be no more crowds! Cream City, all the way.

Food was good. Ham and cheese empanadas and the RD Cuban sandwich, both were good. Not great, yet! I hope as they get there feet under them they can upgrade the food quality a bit. Its currently a lot like bar food. Tastes good, but a bit ordinary. Fair prices, good portions. I'll be back for supper soon!

I was a regular customer and was always grateful to send friends here. The past few times I have come in have not been good and I don't plan on coming back. Unfriendly service Food is not good Food never comes the way described on the menu Things on the menu are not included and what is included in the food is not on the menu Everything is over salted The garlic sauce is just gross ranch dressing It takes forever for the food then it's not worth the money spent I'm really disappointed because there aren't many restaurants here that have international cuisine that offers authentic flavors. I love trying different international dishes that are authentic instead of made for the pallet of picky eaters.

Our first time here, it was a mixed experience. The food was delicious. We did not get what we…read moreordered even though what we got was as I said very delicious. So, what the employee thought we ordered and he made was considerably more expensive than what we in fact wanted. There was obviously a breakdown in communication due to language. That one thing kept this from being a likely stellar review.
