They used Monin syrups. They have a syrup list at the order counter. They also have a list of their favorite flavors that you could take inspiration from. There have been other patrons there every time I've went but the service is fairly quick. I don't think their coffee is my favorite but I use it as a vehicle for my flavoring anyway so it's okay lol

We looked around then ordered a couple coffees. The young lady that took care of us was very polite and super helpful. She said they had been here for at least 3 years and yet somehow I never knew it. I drive by here all the time and now I know there is a coffee shop. I will be back. I ordered a hot blackberry mocha that was very tasty. The place was very clean and when you walk in the back door you can even see the bathroom looks very clean as well. I can't wait to stop back in.

My BFF got an iced coffee with vanilla and I got a strawberry fields latte. She said the iced coffee was very good and I know this because she took it with us and finished it. I really liked my drink as well, very much strawberry flavored. We also got a cinnamon muffin that was very good. This is a small cafe in a strip mall. Drive thru could only have maybe 3 or 4 cars. Parking is limited as well, but seriously you need to come and try this place. Great staff, very good coffee and cozy environment. Wait. Never mind, please don't come here and try this place. I want the couch in front of the fireplace all to myself. I can't wait to come back and get a new drink, sit on the couch, relax and just enjoy.

We were trying out all the local finds in Ohio and when we stumbled upon State Street with its inviting atmosphere- filled with couches, a fireplace, and games to play, we were sold!

Definitely recommend trying out State Street Coffee to relax and enjoy a nice coffee and game session with some friends!

This morning we went to Low Country Bagel located in Monroe, OH. I am someone who has lived almost…read morea decade in New England and I know my way around the bagel shops up there. This shop would be an exceptional tough contender for first place. Their bagels are perfectly structured and can hold the weight of the items inside without sacrificing their flavor, chew and crumb. I picked the garlic bagel, Philly, cheese and egg. I'm telling you the Philly meat melts in your mouth. Not greasy and definitely NOT stringy. My husband ordered The Low country with cream cheese. It has REAL BACON and they make sure it's crisp as god intended bacon to be. Give this local spot your business. The atmosphere is vibrant and clean. The employees are so kind and welcoming. The bagels are dynamic. They are also located 5 minutes down the road from the outlets!

I guess my standards are a bit higher. Fitting for Lebanon though, standards seem to have gone down the drain for most businesses. Asked if they had fresh roasted coffee, was told yes they get it weekly. Paid $20 for 12oz bag of coffee that could compare to Folgers from Walmart. Not fresh at all, and yes to the owner or employees reading this. You can tell when you brew fresh roasted coffee. If you want fresh coffee I recommend Script or Contemporoast. Can't tell if it's a coffee shop or a knickknack shop. Figure it out.

Although I like the Buddha bowl, thought I'd try the Northstar burger and chicken avocado sandwich. Today was a particularly warm day for March so they had the windows open which created a nice breeze. The line took a bit of time to get to the front but the staff was extremely nice and was able to make substitutions. There a lot of seating so whether you are a party of 1 or 8 there's plenty of areas to eat. The food took about 30 minutes to arrive with the kitchen backed up. There's a self serve water station so we relaxed and took in the ambiance. There's food emphasizes fresh ingredients and the burger and chicken sandwich did not disappoint. The burger is vegetarian friendly and comes with a good portion of kale slaw. The chicken sandwich was stacked tall and super filling. Would recommend to try!

I never got a response from my survey, so I'm posting my review online. This was a horrible experience. First, the wait was incredibly long and people who came after me were getting their orders before me. When I noticed it was happening, I was told the "new girl" was doing my order. It took about half an hour to finally get my order - Taro Milk Tea. Second, the staff were literally standing and doing nothing but talking at some points when they were so far behind. There was no hustling to get orders completed like at Starbucks. Third, I left the shop with my order. It was the most disgusting drink. It had clumps of powder and hadn't been mixed right. I ended up throwing it away after trying to mix it in myself. It just wouldn't. What a huge disappointment after waiting so long and paying that much for a drink. I did request the company refund my card and gave them all my information including order #. I never heard back and didn't get my refund. Fourth, when I tried to find this place to give it a review I found it under Millions of Milk Tea (parent company) instead of Drop in Tea which is who sent the text to me. I'm not from the area, so I didn't remember what the actually name was on the shop front. I can understand that places are having trouble getting staff or keeping staff, but this was pure chaos on so many levels. I see I'm not the only one having a problem. I witnessed others in the store talking to staff about issues like not getting what they ordered and one girl didn't even get what she paid extra for. The "trainer" in this store isn't training new staff properly if they aren't getting orders right, and they aren't mixing drinks properly. I still want a refund.
