    This tiny coffee spot was highly recommended by the locals & so glad we ordered our coffee from them as we make our 3-hr drive home. The staff is so friendly and thanked us for stopping by when we told them we were waiting for them to open before getting on the road. The tiny coffee spot is a drive through only. We pulled up, ordered our coffee and goodies, then waited in the parking lot until our order was delivered to us. I ordered from their holiday menu "SALTED PISTACHIO IRISH CREAM" & Asiago bagel. My partner ordered his go to caramel macchiato as well as strawberry danish for later. Both coffees were great. The location seems so ideal & strategically placed at the perfect spot, on the way into town of deep creek. It's not a place to sit and chat, it's purposeful a grab and go kinda place to keep the flow going. Can't wait to stop through next time we in town.

    Cute outdoor coffee place with a walk through and drive thru. Big menu with lots of options in a little space. Wonder how they do it all A QR code allows people in line to see the menu. They had a small seasonal menu right at the front where you order I had an iced honey lavender latte, which is seasonal. It was okay. They have 4 sizes, going up to 20 then 32 ounces for a discount Came with 2 other friends in the morning and we'll all got coffee. They asked us to wait In the neighboring parking spaces. Workers were very friendly and quick with our orders

    PEANUT BUTTER COLD FOAM? MORE LIKE PEE IN MY COLD BUTTER FOAM. Anywho, loved this. Was so freakin good. Smoothie bowl was amazing. Coffee was usually a hit but my 3rd wife said hers tasted a bit like unconsolidated mineral and organic matter filled with microorganisms in the upper layer of the earth's crust. aka. Dirt. If I could've inside of a warm, decadent, pillowy pepperoni roll, I would and so should you, so order one on a Friday! Also to the moron in the red suv from Pennsylvania, you know who you are. I despise you and your horse toothed wife who blankly stared at me as I recorded a TikTok reviewing my meal.

    What I think was amazing about this place was the abundant flavors that were available for their lattes. I was in deep Creek during the holidays and this coffee shop had so many holiday flavors. I tried the eggnog latte that my friend got, and they use fresh eggnog to make their latte. This place is drive-through only. The drive-through was convenient because we were able to pick it up on the way back on our long drive home. My friend thought the eggnog latte was a little bit too sweet, so I told the staff that and they were able to quickly remake it for us.

    Drove out from the outflow campground to try out this coffee shop because of the diverse drinks and huge flavor choices. The ladies working were incredibly friendly and recommended the Cinnamon Toast Crunch frappe with cold foam. It was very possibly the best drink I've ever had! Service was fast and I picked up a delicious blueberry muffin as well. Highly suggest checking this place out if you are in the area!

    What a cute coffee shop! Espresso Alley is the first drive through coffee shop in Deep Creek. It is located right off the main road, so it is very easy to get to. When you pull up to the building, there is a QR code that you can scan to see the full menu before arriving at the window to order. When it was our turn to order, one of the employees greeted us kindly and was prepared to take our order. This process was quick and efficient. Once we pulled around to the other side, our drinks came out in less than 5 minutes. We ordered the Toasted Marshmallow Cold Brew with Toasted Marshmallow Cold Foam, Iced Chocolate Covered Almond Latte, and Brownie Batter Frappe. Each one was extremely flavorful and delicious. The frappe came with pieces of brownie on top of the whipped cream. Espresso Alley is now a must stop when in Deep Creek!

    Very cute drive thru! Staff is very friendly & gave my dog a treat! I ordered the toasted marshmallow cold brew with cold foam and it was delicious! Will be back!!

    We got here 20 mins before closing and felt bad because I'm sure they were cleaning up but the staff was super friendly and helped us access the menu. We got the ciabatta breakfast sandwiches, a cake pop, a peppermint cold brew, and a butter pecan cold brew. The food and coffee was soooo good and I loved that they had flavors that are typically out of season because peppermint is my favorite! Great experience:)

    Love this sweet little DRIVE THRU coffee shop conveniently located near the lake. Love the specials and friendly faces working! If you don't see something in the menu ask she can make it! Allison is passionate about her coffee and making her customers happy! She has pup cups for the fur babies too! I love the hornet cupcakes. Cake pops pastries and muffins My favorite is the shaken espresso and all the frappes ! So worth it! Do yourself a favor and take the drive or visit when you're at the lake!

    Iced french vanilla latte, Iced hazelnut cold brew.

    Absolutely delicious coffee and great service! It was hard to find a good coffee spot in deep creek maryland, but this place is definitely it. Tried multiple different things including the iced french vanilla latte, chai latte, hazelnut cold brew, etc. All were insanely good. Would definitely recommend coming here! Staff was also super friendly.

    This ice cream and coffee shop is easy to miss situated in a corner between the biggest grocery…read morestore for miles and a large gift shop just across Rt 219 from Wisp Ski Resort. You do have multiple ice cream options in the McHenry and Deep Creek Lake area, but Bear Creek has a couple distinct advantages. First, it is open year around, something the ones lakeside are typically not. Second, it is not usually overrun with lines out the door as some of those lakeside ones are (and there is a time and place for those as the view overtop the lake is good fun as well). The selection of ice cream is more than ample and the prices don't break the bank like many tourist-centered locations can do. And over the course of at least five visits across multiple years, I have never experienced slow, grumpy, or impatient service. Any frustration here is likely to come from other patrons rather than those behind the counter. And fair enough, it is the first time visiting for the tourists who often make up the clientele. There can also be big intergenerational groups where getting all the orders organized in a timely manner can be a challenge. But honestly, hopefully you are on vacation as well so where do you really need to be? There are a few tables inside and out so take a load off if you need to. And enjoy that tasty jolt of sugar or caffeine!

    I have never been in an ice cream and coffee shop! We were here early so we all ordered some…read morebeverages. I didn't want more coffee so I went with a small hot chocolate. It was delicious! However the small is pretty small! I felt like a little kid drinking it haha We may stop back for some ice cream later on.

    The third style of business, that I can recall, in the last 20+ years, and just like the others,…read morethis will likely go away in time. Typical of Brewpubs, beer and mediocre meals. First, the beer. I have had much better, though the double bock and the Doc Brown Ale were the best with the double bock being a little too sweet. At 7 bucks a pint, it is the average price. This place won't attract me for beer alone. The menu is rather simple in terms of selections which should offer an opportunity to excel with food, thus keeping people returning. I found what I tried to be rather bland and typical of brewpubs. Smashburger. Bland, though I suspect the tomato jam and roasted garlic mayo were supposed to give the flavor depth. I wish I could have tasted these separately to fully analyze. At 16.26, I can find better. I tried the blue cheese salad dressing and was disappointed. It was like eating sour cream with a hint of blue cheese. This is so easy to make and taste good. The hand beer battered cod was also bland. Just not impressed. The fresh cut fries are typical of fresh fries. Not great. If you're willing to put time in it, you can make great fries. Overall, the menu selections could be better. I would think a nice steak salad or something like that may do well. The steak pinsa is the closest, I guess, but would be better with a salad. The service was mediocre even though our server was friendly. When you emphasize beer, tis best to visit often to see if the customer would like another. Don't wait until the meal is nearly finished. Will I be back? I want to try a few other dishes to get a more complete idea of this place, but I can see this place fading away like the others that come and go.

    Really was looking forward to coming here with seeing several people post online about it…read more We went up on a Saturday evening without reservations which I'm not sure they take. To my luck and delight, there was live music blaring upon entry. We were sat near the bathrooms and kitchen and put in our drink order. I want to mention they were kind of busy but not swamped, and it took a lot of time in between seating to greeting to drink delivery to ordering to food to dessert to check. In fact, I didn't see much of our waitress out and about at all - blonde with a lot of energy. She was nice but very spotty in checking on us. We ordered the pretzels and cheese for an appetizer to start. They were ok. For my meal I got the pit beef sandwich which came with a horseradish sauce. The time between the ordering to appetizer to meal was LONG. The manager or owner who brought out the meals realized I was getting pissed and tried to smooth things over. Problem was the sandwich was very dry. Pit beef should have some juiciness to it, but honestly it was really dry. The horseradish sauce was nice but had evaporated into the bun - probably from sitting back in the window for 15 minutes without coming out. The best part of the meal was the dessert which was a French dish I can't remember but is pictured. Cold dessert covered in icing and layered inside. It was very good and light Overall it was ok. I'd like to try again but man the waiting for food when it's not very busy thing is a big pet peeve of mine.
