Thankfully there was a south side location that was easy to access from the main highway and plenty of space inside (not too busy) The breakfast cups were delicious and quite filling! like huge muffin-shaped mini Omelettes And the customized eggnog steamer was a nice sweet touch (since I'm unable to enjoy lattes or anything coffee-related lol) I would enjoy another breakfast here again~

There were several ice cream containers with ice crystals on the ice cream which isn't necessarily a big deal but kind of a put off. The young man behind the till while nice, wasn't overly excited that we were there. I'd say ice cream in a pinch, this will do.

Will let you taste - I tried the cream soda float but went with my standard bubblegum (creature of habit) $5 for a regular scoop in a waffle cone or $5 for two scoops in a regular cone/cup Limited seating inside and out but worth the trip! Take home ice cream and cakes available too

The americanno coffee is better then Starbucks. Less bitter. The pastries are very fresh and very good. I can't remember the name but there's a great Nutella one they serve. Service is really good. Music is a good mix and isn't too loud that you can't hold a conversation properly. Good place to get away, as well as to have business meetings at.

I ordered the Matcha Lemonade, which had a mixture of lemonade soda and a matcha flavor to it for $7.50. Given the price and the small portion cup, I felt like it was a bit underwhelming at best given the price, and I don't feel like I got my money's worth. However, given the experience, I would reccomend this coffee shop to tourists in the area! Just not great for the price.

We finally made it out to try XO Ice Cream and Waffles. It's tough to try new ice cream spots out…read morewhen the big 3 dominate in Cowtown. However, we were in the area so my sister suggested making a pitstop for dessert. We dropped in on a Tuesday afternoon (around 1:00pm). It's a tiny shop; currently only allowing one person/family in at a time. There was about 20 flavors to choose from (seasonal and summer specials). Sad that you currently can't sample any flavours. Lime cilantro sorbet (that wasn't listed) peaked my interest. - Double scoop ($8.00) - we added a waffle one ($1.00) and decided on the sour cherry and guava papaya sorbet as our two flavours. They were very generous scoops. The sour cherry was the winner with real pieces of cherry (a slightly sour bite). Stronger in papaya than guava flavour. I think their sorbet texture could use a bit of work but overall, we were happy campers. - Single scoop ($6.00) - my sister went with the same flavours as we weren't sharing. Always nice when you have the options to choose two flavours in a single scoop. Credit cards only. Massive scoops. 3.5 stars.

Well, I'm happy to report that I am no longer a popsicle thanks to great ambiance and a pumpkin spice latte. Although I've been to this location many, many times, today it seemed extra cozy in here simply because they had Jack Johnson playing (my favorite beach/Hawaii/relaxing in the sun music). The staff are friendly and ready to serve, so my PSL and chocolate croissant took no time at all. Some might say that they're just doing their job. I say that having staff who are digging the music as much as you are while making your drink is something to be happy about. Celebrating small victories today, saying Kudos to Starbucks for warming me from the inside out!

I ordered a cortado with a tiny bit more milk. it comes in a small "shot" glass, drink is still $5.00, it's basically an americano with milk. Short latte. Man took my order, no issues. I get to the window and drive thru girl was extremely rude and should never be front facing customers. needed to make sure that it I was aware that it was an exception, and they won't do it again. Let me repeat " a tiny bit more milk".... I didn't ask for a free drink. Get it together Starbucks, with all the good coffee competition around you and boycotts against you, you might want to be a customer service champion. I didn't ask for much. A tiny bit more milk.
