Todd's point.
Adrienne A.

They have the best milkshakes and coffee drinks. The staff is very friendly. Good local coffee drive thru. The only problem is they are so good, the line gets long in the morning. Great to get a drink and go watch the waves just across the street.

Drive through coffee with windows on both sides of the building. Coffee was fine nothing special. Service was fast and friendly.

I'm so happy to have found a local coffee shop that offers a ton of sugar free syrups. My fiancé and I watch our sugar intake pretty closely. Sweeteners for coffee is where we try to cut it out since we have it daily. I'm so glad A Frame has something other than sugar free vanilla, which gets boring real fast (take note Starbucks! Bring back your other sugar free syrups!). It's perfect for anyone on keto who wants a morning sweet treat. We got a sugar free hazelnut latte and sugar free caramel latte. Both were delicious. The drive thru took longer than regular drive thru spots, so I don't recommend going there if you're in a rush.

Breakfast burrito

Food was great, monkey mocha was soooo good too. The girl at the window was nice and my girlfriend and I got our food and boogied. The place is cute, I def recommend.

If your money is worth excellence in service and product! It's the place.

After the absolute worst experience at Starbucks in Fort Bragg we decided we would come here. It's always 5 though the years! Scored again. Fast-Delicious-Hot! Absolutely the fastest kindest staff. Even local law enforcement choose the A-Frame purple Hut!

Roasted Unroasted C.

Roasted: I was told to come here while visiting Fort Bragg as it was good coffee. It's a cute drive thru only store but they let us walk up since we didn't have the car with us. The employee working was super friendly and knew every customer who came through. Good menu - decent selection of syrups and sugar free options. Had food like bagels and burritos, they even had vegan options. The downfall here was the coffee was awful. Not drinkable - I had to dump it sadly. The espresso was not extracted right giving it a burnt taste, the milk was off - it tasted like it had been steamed more then once and I got all bubbles - not even a small amount of properly steamed milk foam. I was totally bummed that my $5 latte wasn't drinkable. Unroasted: the small a frame reminds of coffee reviews in Portland. Northern California is different than the rest of California. This coffee shop sit right on Main Street with great curb appeal. The barista was friendly and knowledgeable of the coffee. Lots of sugar free options and vegan/gf. Received coffee in timely manner only to realize at first sip this was completely undrinkable. The pure taste of syrup and terrible coffee shots. I could not finish through this at all. I normally power though but this was too tough for me. Also got a blonde which tasted days old. It's a cute spot but they need help with quality control. Would not try again.

Their drop coffee is so smooth and delicious, and the jalapeño bagel with cream cheese is also a winner.

Great coffee, but avoid the powdered drinks (chai, mocha, etc) if you want them iced because you're…read moregoing to have clumps of powder in the bottom of your drink. Wish they'd use Tazo chai. It's a liquid so it doesn't clump and it just tastes better. They're super friendly and the owner almost always takes a moment to chat with each customer. While this does add a small wait time in the drive thru, it also makes customers feel seen. They have indoor seating available now and it's really nice and cozy. Going into winter, it would be cool if they had like a little fireplace, even one of those fake ones Whatever you do--don't leave without trying one of their delicious pastries and a loaf of their house-baked bread!

Service was good, cheery sweet ladies took care of me…read more I wasn't a big fan of the food I got: breakfast burrito and the bear claw. The breakfast burrito had so much cheese I could *squeeze* out the cheese. The sausage is the same sausage you would get on pizza which is fine just thought I should note that to folks. I couldn't find any egg in my burrito, but maybe that's because it's buried in cheese. Id recommend filling out the burrito a bit more with some country potatoes, and a little salt and pep could go a long way. The bear claw is a bit sad, little hard. I got a black coffee, it was fine as black coffee should be. Decent vibes and the layout for the drive thru section was straightforward.

As with most Starbucks, when you ask for "no foam" and emphasize that you literally want NO foam as…read moreyou have a gag reflex to foam, they mess up and still leave a lot. I watched the girl pour mine, and she did one pour to fill the cup, then dumped out the rest of the steamed soy milk (what a waste!) and then did one quick terrible scoop of the foam, which leaves a ton of foam on there. The correct way to do it -- as I've seen Starbucks managers train employees to do -- is to fill the cup using the spoon to hold back as much foam as possible, then use the spoon to scoop the foam off the top (this is where most Starbucks stop and don't take extra steps). THEN pour more of the steamed milk into the cup (again using spoon to hold back foam), and then scoop again -- and keep doing this until the cup is full, and there is NO foam (about three times). So you see, if you prematurely dump out your steamed milk and waste it, you cannot achieve this final foam-free cup. And that is what they did here, was waste the steamed milk, and give me a cup full of an entire inch+ of foam on top. Yuck. I even told the girl this better way to do it, and she smiled and said "Yes, that's the best way." So then, why didn't she do it? On a positive note, after I proceeded to remove the foam myself, the drink underneath was delicious. Also, the Spicy Falafel Pockets are not listed on their menu inside, I had to ask if they carried them at this location since it wasn't listed. They do. And these are super delicious! So good, we went back in to order a second round of them. Luckily they had enough, but you know... that's probably because you can't sell what's not listed on your menu. People won't know about them! So I advise you ensure they are advertised. Also of note, the second time we went back in to order more Spicy Falafel Pockets, they set the paper bags in a puddle of coffee from someone else's cup... Why set our food in a mess like that? Overall, delicious. But your training needs improvement (how to ensure no foam) and not setting customer food in liquid messes, and your menus need to include what you offer.

Who manages this location? Anyone?? Order placed at 0826 on my mobile appt. I get there and it's…read morenot super busy but not slow either. At 0840 I'm still waiting, girl says, "it's gonna be awhile." Cancelled my order and went to work. No apologies. I'll save a lot of money by not stopping here anymore on my way to work They need to work on their costumer service skills!!
