As we were driving up to this place, the building looked a little run down, but step inside to an…read moreimpeccable decorated café. With places to have a small meeting at a table, bring the kiddos to play at their own coffee bar, or just get comfy and people watch. Our barista was friendly, and laughed at my hubbys off beat humor. We couldn't have asked for better service. I ordered a blueberry muffin, but it was far to sweet for me (personal preference) but my kiddo loved it. I loved that they repurposed an old hutch/side table for the sugar and to go items. Reduce, reuse, recycle is the way to make the planet a better place. This is also a great place for some cute photos.

Coffee Therapy -- and honestly, the name alone had me halfway sold before I even walked in. Because…read morefor many of us, that cup of coffee out in the wild is our little "me moment," our reset button, our decompress-or-rev-up-for-the-day ritual. Sometimes it's both. I stopped in on a Monday around noon and this place was hoppin' in the best way. Even so, there was just one person ahead of me and one behind me -- quick, easy, and not chaotic. Inside? Adorable. Cozy. Thoughtful. They have tons of seating: little two-tops throughout, a gorgeous long farmhouse table with room to add extra chairs, plus a comfy sitting area with a couch, armchairs, and an Insta-cute backdrop that literally says "Coffee Therapy" in neon. The whole vibe is "come in, exhale, get your fix, stay a while." I met up with a couple of homeschool moms I'd never met before and we settled at the big table -- great for group meetups or working. The chair I chose definitely needs a cushion refresh (I could feel the wood underneath me), but overall the space feels warm, welcoming, and very lived-in in a good way. Coffee-wise, I was pleasantly surprised I could order a decaf caramel macchiato (not every local shop offers decaf espresso!). They also offer milk alternatives and they have what looks like every syrup flavor ever created lined up behind the bar. If you want options, this is your spot. I noticed one teen drinking a bright blue icee-style drink, so even non-coffee drinkers can still get something fun and treat-like. There's also a pastry case with muffins, parfaits, cake pops, brownies, and more -- plus a small retail area with cute items that lean toward boutique-style pricing. It fits the space perfectly and adds to the charm. I also loved that they had a chess board two teens were using, and I spotted toys for younger kids -- such a thoughtful touch if you've got littles with you. For us, it's a 45-minute drive, but if this were closer? I'd absolutely pick this over a box-store coffee chain to get work done, do school, meet friends, or grab a little "me moment" whenever I needed one. Super cute spot with personality, charm, and a relaxed welcoming vibe. If you're near it -- go. And if you're not... maybe it's still worth the drive. Update: Forgot to mention this earlier -- my decaf caramel macchiato was only $7 with tip, which felt totally fair for the size and quality. Always helpful to know price points when trying a new spot!

I have been a long time customer of coffee shops at this location and after 1+ years under new…read moreownership, it has only improved on all fronts - the shop, the service and the food. The new owners immediately made facility changes that vastly improved the look and feel of the shop. Not only new flooring, but the display cases, reach-in coolers, furnishings and other customer comforts. They "tidied up" the place and fixed stuff - exactly what was needed. They also expanded the existing menu without taking a blow torch to it. From my interactions with the staff, it was pretty obvious the owners were wanting to learn more about downtown Daytona, their legacy customers, and the changing market. Changes they made were mostly tweaks, all seeming to be received positively. Since the new year, it's obvious Serra Doce is leveraging all they've learned and have made major changes and improvements. They seem all in. There is now a brunch and à la cart breakfast and amazing sandwiches, pastries and fresh fruit offerings. Truly, Serra Doce has retained the best of why I've always enjoyed my coffees at this location, and expanded my choices with really amazing food offerings. The service is great. It's tough to keep staff these days, and like any regular place I go to, I do see new faces. But old ones too. All of my interactions have always been wonderful. It's why I come back. And it's still an affordable spot and, MOST IMPORTANTLY dog friendly and welcoming.
