I simply don't know where to stand on these prices. I can find fresh donuts for half the price, but of course, they're not Krispy Kreme. I just don't know, I feel that the value is not there. I used the drive thru. The cashier was nice. Donuts were good also.

The staff was kind and asked if we would like samples. My sisters and I ended up with flavors such as early grey, raspberry, chocolate Nutella and brownies and cream.

The shop is cozy small, the decor was really cute. They did have a few seats for guest to enjoy. I had the pumpkin and buttercreme waffle cone. The portion size was good for the price. For me the flavor was just ok, I was expecting it to be a bit sweeter. The flavor was off for me. I would give them another try. I love supporting local places.

This coffee shop is within walking distance from the Five Points Fountain, and there is plenty of metered street parking within walking distance. We decided to grab 1 house blend hot coffee and 1 nitro cold brew coffee to go. The staff was very friendly and helpful with us, as this was our first experience with this coffee shop. The price was very affordable, and we can see why it's so popular with many of the college students.

The staff were very friendly and easy to talk to, and I really appreciated how careful they were about peanut allergies when going over the menu. I ordered an Oreo cookie sandwich with Oreo ice cream in the middle and Oreo crumbles as a topping, and it was so good! The ice cream was super creamy, and the cookie was warm, heat-pressed, and delicious. This place completely exceeded my expectations.

Nestled in a set of historic homes on a quiet street (with free street parking!), the restaurant itself is so adorable and creates such a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The staff is so kind and personable, you always feel like you're being fed at your grandma's house when you go in! I truly believe there is not a single dish from them that is nothing short of phenomenal. Today we had their specials consisting of shrimp and grits, chicken skin & hot sauce deviled eggs, along with a cup of the cauliflower parm soup. We also got their hot honey pimento cheese but they have that every day! Everything was amazing of course, and I find it so impressive how the chef & team is able to come up with such unique and delicious dishes every single week. Don't even get me started on their desserts. Everything they bake is delicious, but they've recently revamped their mocha tiramisu creme pie and I'm unhealthily addicted to it. I've had it on 3 separate occasions in the last week and every time I have gone, I have to order more than one! I really really hope they keep that creme pie in the rotation for a while or at least bring it back soon once it's done, because I don't think I'll be able to recover otherwise.
