The gelato and sorbetto flavors were good. I liked my choice of Blood Orange. It was refreshing and delicious. The Mango flavor was good as well. We had a good experience here. The service was nice and friendly. The shop was clean and inviting. I would go back here if I am in Destin again. Definitely check them out if you haven't before.

Bad Ass Coffee of Hawaii

My first and last experience at Bad Ass. Bright and early I show up to the Miramar location. I had…read morebeen looking in the app for drinks and decided on one. Rather than order on the app, I made the mistake of walking in and trying to ask a few questions, like how many shot of espresso are in the different sizes. Ok, there are 4 in a large. I order a large latte with 4 syrups and it comes to almost $9. I said the app shows the price as $7 something. She insists it's the same price in person or on the app. I had to literally show her on the app the same drink she was overcharging me for. Rather than be apologetic or at least FRIENDLY, she says well it's the same. How she can't see it's close to 2 dollars difference I don't understand. Bottom line, the attitude and blatant disregard of any customer service skills plus a very mid tier drink equals a big hard no for ever returning. And asking for a TIP because you took my order is really cute.

Our first time here--and unfortunately, our last…read more The iced lattes were okay, but nothing that stood out compared to other well-known coffee shops. The biggest disappointment was the customer service. The woman who took our order was friendly, but beyond that, the experience fell flat. We understand they were busy and constantly making drinks, but being busy doesn't have to mean ignoring customers. While we were waiting, there was little to no acknowledgment from the staff. When I asked about our fourth drink, there was no response. An employee went to the register, appeared to check our order, then made the missing drink. She placed it with the others without saying a word or acknowledging the mistake. The lack of communication and friendly interaction left a poor impression. Good coffee is easy to find, but great customer service is what brings people back. Unfortunately, that was missing from our experience.

I'm so glad I found this place! It was really easy to find and had plenty of parking. The coffee shop is on the second floor, and you can either take the elevator or go up the spiral staircase. Inside, it's beautiful, spacious, and just has a really relaxing atmosphere. There's also a wraparound porch with outdoor seating. It doesn't necessarily overlook anything exciting, but it was still such a peaceful place to sit, and I could definitely see myself bringing my laptop and working here for a few hours. The staff was SO friendly every time I went. On Thursday morning there was a pretty long line, but they had several people working behind the counter and moved through it incredibly fast. Our drinks came out quickly too. I ordered iced lattes and really enjoyed them, but THE CROISSANT. I am a croissant person, and this was genuinely one of the best croissants I've ever had. Thick, buttery, soft, delicious bread and not even remotely dry. My kids loved them too, and I appreciated that each one came packaged in its own little container instead of just being thrown into a bag. They were also playing worship music every time I was there -- Abbie Gamboa and SEU and several artists I already love which made me enjoy the atmosphere even more. I also noticed when ordering at the tablet that they give you an option to donate to a local family in need, which I thought was such a thoughtful touch. Great coffee, ridiculously good croissants, kind staff, quick service, lots of space and a really welcoming atmosphere.

On a good day this is a four-star experience easy. But here's the problem: I requested no avocado due to an allergy, and instead of remaking the dish, the cook simply wiped it off and sent it out. That's not a fix -- that's lazy and potentially dangerous. And with a 20-minute line, sending it back for a proper remake wasn't realistic. You're stuck eating around the problem or going hungry. Restaurants that cut corners on allergy requests don't get a pass because the vibe is nice. The food itself is enjoyable when it comes out right, and the setting is hard to beat on the Emerald Coast. Just watch your plate closely if you have any dietary restrictions.

Formula fresh is the worst breakfast place I have ever been to. I was here with a few families for spring break and as we were talking over there loud and flamboyant coffeee machines making my shit bowl they yelled at us for being too "loud" after waiting 35 minutes for our orders they yelled at us again for talking. My grandparents have lived in destin for 27 years and commented "I have never experienced a worse or more disrespectful restaraunt in all of destin." It's a damn shame I can't give a 0 Star at a place like this. Overall 0/10 I am in awe, hopefully this doesn't ruin my spring break experience. read more
