Biggest red flag for a coffee shop. That said, Tuscaloosa doesn't have a ton of coffee options, so if you're curious, go for it, especially since they rotate seasonal drinks. For balance: the matcha lovers in our party said theirs was excellent.

It is a little pricey for what you get, and the menu isn't huge, but everything we tried was really good and made up for it. You can tell they put effort into the quality, which I appreciated. Overall, it's a great place to stop by if you're looking for something simple, cozy, and delicious--just be prepared for the smaller space and slightly higher prices!

Today when I came in, my vegetarian friend asked if she could have a small amount of potatoes replace the meat on her eggs benedict, the young man working the register told her yes, put the order in (and he typed things, so I assume he specified it was a substitution). He sent the order to the kitchen and she paid. As I went up to order, a lady came out of the back and lectured him in front of me, my friend, and several customers in line. My friend offered to just have no meat or potatoes (and then to pay an add on charge), but this manager would not let her change her order. She was very rude to him and I'm very disappointed that the management treats their staff that way. The place is nice, but management's treatment of staff in front of customers (especially the customer that ordered the food causing the lecture), was particularly disappointing.

It was all younger college students but pretty quiet in there. The cashier was super nice. I got a cold brew with sweet cold foam. It was pretty good, not super strong, but not weak either. As you can see in the picture the cold foam kinda just mixed with the coffee, meaning it was probably frothed milk as opposed to frothed heavy cream. It still was good (I didn't detect much sweetness). Coming back I'd probably try a latte instead and see how the espresso is.
