Ordered and got my food within 8-10 min. All was fresh and hot. If you don't like bears before you eat here, you will by the time you leave, LOL. There is a huge bear mural, bears climbing logs in the dining room and bears outside welcoming you inside to eat. There is also bear merch in the lobby if you care to purchase. The place has a laid back Colorado feel to it like a forest with a restaurant adjacent to it. The whole staff was very friendly. I went in a weekday at lunchtime. It might be crowded for breakfast and lunch on the weekends. And they serve breakfast all day!! Hope you enjoy!!

Late night hunger strikes again. It was around 9 so we were…read moreshocked they were still open. Brooklynn sat us and was great from start to finish waiting on us. Genuine smile, attentive, and most importantly kept our drinks full. I love the foresty diner feel, lots of tables and option to sit at the diner in front of the kitchen. Unfortunately, the food just didn't hit the spot for us because we like flavor and nothing on our plates seemed to have any distinctive flavors to wow us. Pretty sure that is done on purpose so we can add salt and pepper and not everyone likes flavor but that's a big thing for me so I don't have to do anything extra. On top of this my burger was loaded with red onions that were not fully grilled and still had some of the tough skin on so when I would bite in onions rings were sliding out of the burger making it hard to enjoy. That's said, the bread had a perfect crunch and was not soggy. Overall, I would still come back and try other dishes to perhaps see if the flavors are there and I'd really like to try their all you can eat fish one day.

Wellll, my food and my wife's food came out and we finished our meals before our daughter even recd. her entree. This could be a very big issue, but Brittany explained what occurred. The kitchen turned out the wrong eggs, and instead of leaving our food to turn lukewarm, they served if hot. The food was delicious, as usual. Brittany's explanation turned out what could have been a disappointment, into ANOTHER pleasant dining experience. Five stars before, five stars on this visit as well. Yes, we'll be back.

I've been trying to eat out less often but when I do, 'Sizzle & Brew' is on my favorites list:…read morelocally-owned, great food and solid service. 'The Crazy Cajun' is very good: boudin balls and over-easy eggs on cornbread, topped with Cajun hollandaise. (Note: the cornbread is pretty tall and can be a little dry, so I usually lop off the bottom half.) That was my go-to until a waiter recommended 'Shrimp & Grits Benedict' - shrimp, andouille sausage and over-easy eggs on fried grit patties with Cajun hollandaise. (Talk about a great way to get both grits AND potatoes!) The coffee is OK, portions ample, service excellent and attentive, and staff recommendations trustworthy. In fairness, I need to sample more of the menu as I'm usually tied between two favorite Benedicts. That said, no one I've brought has been disappointed with their choices.

This spot never misses…read more The staff is always welcoming, genuinely friendly, and super attentive without being overbearing. This time I tried one of their specials - a soup and sandwich combo for $8.95 - and it completely exceeded expectations. The soup was basically a deconstructed pot pie with a homemade biscuit on top, and the portion was huge. I happened to get the last serving from the pot, so they hooked it up with a little extra instead of letting it go to waste, which I definitely appreciated. What really stood out was how hearty it was. There was way more protein than you'd expect from a typical soup, so it was actually filling and satisfying, not just something light on the side. Definitely a great value for the price.

To start off, when I ordered my coffee, the guy at the register said they didn't have 8oz coffees. I was staring right up at the sign, and he said he didn't know why it said that because he didn't see it in the computer. (But gave me an 8oz cup anyway and charged me for a 12oz) I thought maybe he didn't know what a small 8oz looked lik? lol Not sure. Then I waited for about 20 minutes for them to bring me out a vegetarian sand which. I was the only person there for the first 10 minutes, and it seemed like either the guy forgot to tell them to make the sandwich, or the ladies forgot themselves. Because 10 minutes later the guy looked at me and apologized and said that it should be out in 3 minutes. Another 10 minutes later and still nothing. I was pretty annoyed at this point because how long does it take to throw some veggies together on a sand which!! I think he noticed at this point so he apologized to me again and said " I just told them to make it". At this point I was super annoyed, but I just waited. Meanwhile I waited I also noticed other customers had walked in and ordered a handful of desserts and it looked like they had to go back up to the counter because they were missing some of their order. I finally got my sandwich and left because it honestly seems like a cluster fuck. Thankfully the sandwhich was amazing. The mango dessert was, eh. Especially for the price point. I really don't like leaving negative reviews, but I felt this place was really deserving of one. Customer service was not there- he was not very friendly. Food took WAY LONGER than it should've especially because I was the only one there at first and for what I ordered. He didn't even know the specifics of their menu. Just absolutely disappointed. Will not be coming back

Why 3 stars? Because if you like sugar, this is your paradise…read more --- --- --- I'm a man who can't resist a 4.8 star rating (at the time of my visit), so I was willing to commute about 20 minutes out of my way for a post-lunch visit here. The main item on the agenda: cinnamon roll. As fate would have it, they had not one, not two, but three different kinds of cinnamon rolls. My wife ordered a standard one and I went with the biscoff version. Both were as heavy as heavy gets. In fairness, any cinnamon roll is going to be heavy, but these were like: two bites and at my limit. Was this more because I also happened to have a heavy lunch? Maybe so. But when I brought home leftovers to eat after dinner, I was still feeling stuffed to the max and unable to finish what I started earlier in the day. We also ordered a macadamia nut cookie and a cupcake, which were both fine. Same for the coffee, though I ordered a very basic iced americano, which is going to taste nearly the same everywhere. I'd come back to try Brit's again, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to do so again. But I may have caught them on a bad day, considering the awesome reviews they've brought in.

Usually, I'll find a place offers one but not the other- but I'm happy to say I've experienced both here. There are both sweet and savory treats on the menu, with rotating options based on the season. I love that they have everything from handheld chicken pot pies (delicious) and cookie croissants (haven't yet tried but they look amazing). Their cookies lean more classic, with a good variety of options. I know many of my fellow sweet-toothed friends have been feeling "oversized and underbaked" cookie fatigue with the way current food trends have been going, but Brit's Batch takes their cookies back to the basics of a thinner cookie with a crisp edge and chewy interior. Kind of like Great American Cookies but a little more elevated and personalized. Their drinks menu also has great variety, and even though I'm not typically a fan of sweet coffee, I loved their banana bread latte. Service is always attentive and sweet. The interior is bright and clean, and very conducive for journaling or studying. Private parking lot with plenty of spots. And while I enjoy sitting and staying for a while whenever I visit, they do (bemusingly) have a drive thru for your convenience. Highly recommend it here! - Ambiance: 5/5 - Food: 5/5 - Service: 5/5

The drive thru intercom is not great. It's ok, I deal with it. We have worse issues in this world. So if I have to repeat myself a few times, I am fine with it. Today I was asked to repeat my self twice. After repeating myself twice, the lady exclaimed, "You don't have to yell at me." Of course I was taken aback by this response. When I drove around I asked the young lady at the window if she was who I was speaking to over @the intercom, she said no and asked why. Her voice sounding familiar, by the way. When I explained she looked around pretending to be perplexed, before asking me to hold as she closed the drive thru window. A few minutes later the owner appeared in the window greeting me with, "Did we make you mad today?" No hello, just this odd question. My response, "Why would I be mad, only dogs get mad?@" He then asks what happened. I explained. His response was, "Oh she didn't mean it like that." Well, I don't know how else she meant it. The intercom is shoddy, she could not hear me, I repeated my order twice at her request each time speaking a little louder and she says, "I don't need to yell at her." His response again, "She didn't mean it that way, she's one of my best employees and we are taking care of your coffee today." I told him I wasn't interested in freebies, I was interested in great customer service and an apology. He continued to push the free coffee toward my car window to appease me, I suppose@. I declined again. He then says, "Well you have a reward today, do you want to take advantage of it?" I declined a third time. I don't need anything free. I'm a loyal customer who tries to support local, family-owned businesses and this was the treatment I received. I will not be back. Keep your free coffee. Keep your rewards. Keep your excuses. Keep your bad behavior. I travelled half a mile to Starbucks where I received great service with a great smile. Do better Just Loce Coffee Cake Cypress, Texas.

Their new location is pretty far from me, so i thought I'd check out this place since it is where my favorite used to be. However! This was my first and last visit. As soon as i walked in, i smelled an overwhelming scent of smoke. I'm not sure if that came from the patrons or the space itself, but that alone was almost enough for me to walk right out of the door. But i stayed because i really wanted to give this place a chance. Like another reviewer, Elizabeth V., mentioned, there were 3 women around the counter who were not welcoming. Considering that you have to walk a distance to even get to the counter, being welcomed when you get there would have been nice! Anyway, the woman who took my order wasn't kind or helpful and when i asked for my drink iced (because the menu didn't specify if the drink was offered hot or iced) she said - kind of condescendingly - "it's already iced..." How would I know that if it's not listed on the menu? And why am I receiving snark for specifying how I'd like my order? Even though I was ordering in person, it felt like I was ordering at a drive thru - being rushed and questions discouraged by an apathetic employee who'd literally like to be anywhere else in the world at that moment. I knew I wouldn't stay at that point so I grabbed my matcha (which was just okay) and left. It's super disappointing to see that this is what occupies the space where my favorite coffee spot used to be. Maybe good service is worth the 45-min drive to their new location! Coming here certainly wasn't worth the headache of traffic, construction, a busy parking lot full of people cutting through to avoid the traffic on the street, and attitudes from the employees. If you like good coffees and teas but also like a kind and welcoming ambiance, please go elsewhere. I wish I wouldn't have believed the 5 star reviews I saw here.
