Got a drink, took one sip, and noticed something funky floating in my cup. Looked closer--boom, MOLD in the ice! Like, not a speck, but a full-on science experiment. I'm talking fuzzy green patches that looked like they were auditioning for a horror flick. I flagged down the server, who just shrugged and said, "Ice is ice, man." ICE IS ICE?! Bro, this wasn't ice, this was a biohazard! But it gets worse. About 20 minutes after choking down a few sips (mistake of the century), my stomach started rumbling like I'd just chugged the Joe Biden Special--a cocktail of 16 Ex-Lax, 12 Metamucil, and 10 Dulcolax blended with regret. I'm talking volcanic eruptions. I barely made it to the bathroom, which, by the way, looked like it hadn't been cleaned since the Reagan administration. I'm still recovering after 3 daya and I'm pretty sure my colon filed for divorce. Avoid this place unless you want your insides to stage a full-scale rebellion. Moldy ice and a staff that cares less than a DMV clerk. read more

Debby's is so convenient and the baked goods are great especially the banana bread when they have it. It's always a great way to start the day when you get a dose of Debby's warmth and positivity with your coffee. read more

This place is the BEST! It's so cute and small and their offerings are all delicious. I loved their Jamaican Me Crazy coffee - lots of delicious freshly brewed caramel, vanilla and creamy flavors! They have such delicious and inventive flavors available daily. The rotation changes from day to day. The people who work there are the sweetest friendliest people and they also have freshly made breakfast sandwiches. It's worth the drive!!! read more

A Little Bit of History Fotomat started in San Diego CA in the 1960s & was a film development company located in a shack in the middle of a Parking lot in a shopping center. Before Fotomat came along, there were no Cell phone cameras, so you took your pictures & dropped them off. It took more than a week to have your film developed. Fotomat came along & revolutionized the photography business by offering Next Day film development. Soon their business skyrocketed & there were more than 4000 Fotomats across the Nation coast to coast. Some of their commercials were very funny & can be seen on YouTube. Check them out! They even had big stars like Pam Dawber from Mork & Mindy with Robin Williams pitching their product. Their shacks had pyramid shaped gold colored roofs with blue lettering. Fotomat sold their own film & Kodak film also. Everyone in the 60s & 70s enjoyed going to Fotomat to get their pictures developed. In the 1980s mini labs revolutionized the film industry once again by offering 1 Hour lab development inside independent stores & chains like Walgreens & other Drug Stores. Soon Fotomat 1 Day Service was outdated with 1 hour service shops. Fotomat however hung on & was one of the first to introduce renting Hollywood movies. Yes before there was a Blockbuster there was a Fotomat. There would be no Netflix today without its founding father of video renting Fotomat. They also got into the transferring of home movies into video cassette market & digital media. But enter a new millennium & their competitors were doing a faster cheaper way of doing all of their services. Fotomat was sold to Konica & then to Viewpoint. They tried to hang in there by switching to an online business. In 2009 the lights finally went out on Fotomat. Some of the original booths were knocked down but others still remain today & have been converted into other small businesses.The memory of happy people getting their pictures back still remains in people's hearts. Debbies Drive Thru Coffee Shop has a rich History of the Fotomat story built right into its structure. Debby Johnston owner has been dishing out coffee, breakfast & treats both morning & afternoons since 2013 in this iconic structure. You've got to Check this place out! It's So Much Fun! And they are So Friendly! You'll leave with a Big Smile on your Face! We've come here several times! It used to be, you had to have Mega Bucks & be really Rich to have the Good Life, not anymore.

Debby's was fantastic! I just happened to be driving by and saw the little booth and had to see what it was all about. The coffee and sandwich did not disappoint. I will be dropping my kids off at camp for the week and no shame, probably stopping here every single day! Debby was so kind with the biggest smile on her face. Such a lovely experience! read more

Friendly service, great coffee, delicious baked goods! I drove by the stand the other day while running an errand, was super curious and came back a couple days later. It definitely did not disappoint in terms of charm and I think it offers something for everyone too. read more

We've seen the shack several times and were lucky enough to stop by and see it open on Thursday. Great location right near the market. The man who helped us was friendly as we quizzed him on the most popular ice coffee flavors. A woman recommended Jamaican Me Crazy and we went with it. She promised us vanilla and coconut and caramel and she did not lie. You could really taste all three flavors. It was deliciously made and very smooth with plenty of cream as requested and only for $3. Heavenly. I hope they're open again the next time we stop by as I want to try more of this awesome coffee! read more

I heard good things about Debby's Drive-Thru but I don't live in the area, so when I was driving nearby today, I had to stop by. I am SO glad I did. I was floored by the selection of coffee/pastries/food that they fit within such a small spot. But more importantly, I was floored by the service! They were so lovely and helped me pick out the perfect coffee - Jamaican Me Crazy, which apparently is a crowd pleaser. The flavor comes from the beans itself rather than added shots. I also ordered a sausage, egg, cheese, and hashbrown sandwich - it was made fresh in front of me (again, what a feat for such a small space)! As for the baked goods, the apple fritter was excellent, and Debby even offered me a complimentary piece of the eggnog pound cake since she was testing out new seasonal flavors. I really can't gush enough about how much I enjoyed the experience. My only regret is that I don't live closer. If you're in the area, definitely make a pit stop. The coffee/food is excellent and the prices are exceptionally reasonable. read more

I Love this little hut. The service is great. She greets you with a smile. She offers cold and hot coffee and tea. She can make specialty coffees as well. The awesome thing is that she offers fresh baked goods, daily. The peach pound cake was AWESOME! All this at very good competitive prices. Who knew this could come from a tiny little hut in the middle of a parking lot. Another thing. Stay away from the big chains and support your local merchants. read more

My favorite coffee and coffee place . I love going there and seeing Debby's smiling face. The sandwiches are great and the baked goods are top notch . Will miss it terribly while closed down n January. Will be dreaming again f my iced coffee.... read more

Debby is wonderful and so is her coffee! This is one of the few coffee places I've ever gone to not out of convenience, but because the coffee is that good. Seriously...adding sugar would ruin it, and I sometimes hesitate to even add milk. read more

Flat out would die for Debby, she is straight up the most wonderful person and I absolutely love I get to start my day with her service! You cannot go wrong with any of the choices here!! Have yet to try something that hasn't shocked my tastebuds read more

We love Debby's Drive through! Her original 'red white and blue' iced coffee became an immediate favorite for the adults - and the 8 and 11 year-olds in my backseat fell in love with her when she invented their 'non-coffee iced mocha' (chocolate milk over ice with chocolate swirl and whipped cream). They can't get enough ;) I love that this is her passion and she cares to put in the extra flourishes/attention you won't find anywhere else - will be back again all this summer! read more

Debby's drive thru instantly became a hot coffee spot. Love that it's in the middle of a parking lot but serve amazing coffee!

So I "agree" with the other reviews that the coffee is tasty and baked goods are delicious. My one star review today is based solely on customer service or should I say lack of customer appreciation. I have been going to Debbies coffee for years. Today was my last day though, due to the incident that happened and the excessive rudeness I experienced. I pulled in and was number three in line of cars waiting to be served... Not a problem. Debbie came out and with a smile took my order. I jokingly said "wow! We get car service... I'm impressed!" And we laughed. I gave her my coffee order and said that I might want to purchase one of her baked goods. She came back with my coffee and a tray of baked products. I chose a cookie and gave her my credit card. As I was waiting for her to come back I realized I had no place to put my coffee as I still had yesterday's coffee with about 1 inch of coffee left from the day before from a different coffee establishment. I was going to ask her to throw it out for me so that I would have room for my new coffee but I felt that would have been rude. So I dumped out the remaining two sips or 1 inch of coffee left in the cup on the ground and put the cup in a trash bag I had in my car. Debbie came back with my credit card And immediately noticed the small amount of spilled beverage on the ground and asked if I did it. I quickly admitted it was me and that's when she started to chastise me. She commented that she would now have to walk in it... (This was coffee...not tuberculosis)... since she was going car to car. I apologized...but she continued. I again apologized and explained to her I didn't think anything of it because it wasn't a biohazard and that the rain would wash away. She complained that there was not going to be rain for days and then actually said that it would "stain the parking lot"??!! She continued to complaine that it had no place to run off. This time I made another apology....even MORE sincere than the first. I said "I'm sorry, I apologize, it was not my intention to upset you". She STILL continued by saying "you're a cleaner you should know better". I reiterated to her that I'm not a cleaner I'm a Groomer... and decided to take the highroad and once again apologized while looking her right in the eye. She then sort of laughed and rolled her eyes & ended by saying well I guess I'll just go get a bucket of water and clean it up!! I might have let that kind of chastising go if it was a friend or even my own mother... But she is not. She is a business owner and I am a customer. I apologized...SINCERELY...NUMEROUS TIMES. Whether I was right or whether I was wrong I sincerely apologized as I never meant to upset her as it did. There was no need for her to keep it going as long as she did and embarrasse her customer over such a small thing....then by telling me she was going to get a bucket of water and clean it up just added more insult to injury and was absolutely unnecessary. This upset me enough that I've come here today to actually leave this negative review. It's too bad Debbie... But you just can't treat your customers like that. read more

This place is amazing. The people are incredibly nice, they have milk options for those who are vegan and/or lactose intolerant, they have so many different brewed flavors and flavor shots for coffee. Will be making a return! read more

Best coffee for an amazing price!!! The hours are perfect to accommodate high school juniors and seniors looking for a quick coffee during frees. The service is so fast and friendly and the flavors are new and creative. 10/10 would recommend the mocha mint latte!! read more

These girls work their tails off!! And THE BEST coffee, baked goods and breakfast sandwiches are absolutely amazing! The best banana bread I have ever had! And the nicest people offering the best customer service! Do not miss this place! read more

You would never guess that such amazing food and drink would come from a place this small! Everything is always amazing and where they lack in size they make up for in enthusiasm. Always a good day when it starts at Debby's! read more

Where do I begin?? Absolutely zero complaints. When I come here Debby always has a smile on her face and genuinely greets me asking about how my life's going. Her prices are great, the coffee and food are delicious! The products she uses are quality and some of the good she even home makes. My favorite food item it's the sausage egg and cheese on a Portuguese roll. Thank you Debby!! read more

Debby's Coffee is simply wonderful. Not only can you get great coffee (try the Chocolate Royale!), wonderful pastries (even homemade gluten free granola bars and cookies), and breakfast sandwiches, you have Debby greeting you with a smile and warm hello. She works hard to put a large selection of items on the menu - impressive since she only has about 10 square feet with which to work. I do believe it's the only drive-through in Sudbury or Wayland - perfect for those chilly mornings when you just don't want to get out of a warm car. read more

Starbucks used to be my go-to place - no longer!! This place is a gem. I love that it's drive up and even if you are behind a car, Debbie or her helper will come over to your car to take your order. Coffees are outstanding and we equally crave her food. The granola bars, oatmeal cookies and eggs sandwiches are personal faves, and our kids love the food too! Super friendly, and I love supporting the local place as opposed to the big chain. Highly recommend!! read more

Everything that's right about America can be found here...tiny spot great coffee super nice employees and delicious scones on Thursdays. Want your sugar melted? Check. Hate Starbucks and Dunkin? Check. Love to promote small businesses? Check. read more

I love this place! I used to work for a bank that has a branch in this plaza, and I loved making field trips out there just for the coffee and muffins! The owner is super friendly, as well. I love everything about this place! read more

I can't say enough good things about Debby. She's super friendly, remembers your name and coffee preferences and won't hesitate to engage you in a personal conversation to get to know you better. She personalizes every drink and I love playing guinea pig when she's trying out new concoctions. I can't tell you how much I would rather spend my money here (did I mention her prices are super reasonable?) than any of the big coffee chains. Plus, she has all sorts of options and snacks as well - my personal favorites include White Chocolate Raspberry and Peppermint Mocha. Let's keep her around! Stop by and tell her Leslie and Penny sent you :) read more

Best coffee around! And the sandwiches are great .. I get the whole grain with egg, cheese & sometimes a sausage. Good prices, great food and all the staff are very friendly. read more

What a great service with super nice servers! I dream about their peanut butter chocolate chip oatmeal cookies! Scones, bagels, breakfast sandwiches,donuts and more plus all types of coffees found in other local shops for half the price! The line of cars is never long either just one or two in cue on both sides. Don't tell anyone about this neighborhood jewel-ssshhhh! read more

I was very disappointed when coming here, I ordered a 16oz Coconut Latte. What I got was a iced coconut flavored milk with foam on it. I should have known better when the girl started putting the foam on a iced coffee, that I should have driven away then, also noting the color of the "coffee" which was white. I drove away without tasting since my baby was screaming in the back and we were late to a appointment. I returned the next day, to explain that my "latte" did not taste or look like it contained any coffee in it. Hoping for a do over from the barista but no, she argued that it wouldn't look or taste (!) like coffee since it has so much milk in it...Ok I think I know what it should look and taste since I love coffee. They put one shot of espresso in the 16oz, ok but it should have at least tasted like a hint of coffee. She was not very helpful. I definitely will not be going back for milk flavored drinks! read more

Debby's is the best! Amazing coffee, delicious food, and the best customer service! We go a little out of our way to head to Debby's in the morning because we know it's SO worth it. If you haven't been there check it out! And if you don't see your drink on the menu let them know! They'd love to help you get just what you're looking for! read more

there is not 1 bad thing to say. Their coffee is delicious, their breakfast sandwiches are the best (bacon egg n cheese on an english muffin) they can do anything decaf, are extremely friendly... best drive thru breakfast ever read more

Debby is the friendliest person I'll meet all day! It brightens my day to visit her for coffee. On top of that the coffee is always excellent. I had the maple latte today and it's sooo good. Debby's beats Starbucks any day. Support local businesses! read more

Don't be fooled by the size of this coffee hut. Debby's Drive-Thru Coffee packs a lot in to this little stand and does it extremely well. For starters, Debby is possibly the happiest person in Sudbury and greats all of her customers with a big smile and aims to please. The coffee in my opinion is the best around and is always made exactly how I like it. The menu is quite large and she offers a large variety of coffee drinks and teas. Believe it or not she also has several different kinds of breakfast sandwiches, even a gluten free option, and several different kinds of baked goods. I highly recommend checking this place out. read more

We drive from NY- MA every week to get our dog chemo & we're so fussy about where we get our coffee from. This place is fantastic! We just discovered it today & so happy we did! Support your home grown businesses! read more

Coffee is awesome! Debby is wonderful! Nice to have another option for coffee outside of a chain restaurant.

Love Debby's! Convenient, friendly, and the true definition of a local "small business". :) I usually find morning blend coffees weak, but I love her iced morning blend. Great snacks too (and she sells out so go early!) don't know why It took me so long to become a regular, but I am now! Ps, she supplies the nearby Duck Soup gourmet kitchen store with their coffee beans too! read more

WHAT AN AMAZING coffee/breakfast place! The staff is super nice and very accommodating! The coffee tastes so good and all the flavors of the bread are TO DIE FOR! My personal fav. is the zucchini bread ! Thank you guys for always making my morning! read more

Fantastic! Debby's Coffee has just what I like. Wonderful flavored coffees and very high quality food. Debby's genuine love of people and enthusiasm for what she is doing makes driving up a pleasurable experience. The convenience of not having to get out of my car just adds to the ease of my day. The prices are reasonable and somehow, the coffee is always hot! I enjoy supporting local businesses and love to see them thrive. This one really deserves to! read more

Cute independent drive-up coffee stand in the Sudbury Crossing parking lot (stand is located near the Rite Aid). Person who runs it is nice, coffee is from Red Barn and is delicious! Convenient place to stop for morning java, especially if you're driving east on Route 20. They also offer baked goods, tea, and the like. read more

Love this place. I took my boys and dog there and we couldn't have been more pleased with our experience. We had a few egg sandwiches (made to order) and some hot beverages. Debbie came out to get our order while we were waiting in line to speed things up! Now that is customer service!! Everything was delicious and just as we ordered. I would encourage anyone to stop there if they need something tasty to start their day. They even offered our pooch a yummy dog treat (which he gladly accepted!). I wish there were more businesses like this and less chains like the one with the golden arches. :-) read more
