    Sweet tooth, espresso caramel and chocolate

    Super cute place, it's small but has a few bar seats. The ladies working were super sweet, they forgot our whip cream, but it wasn't a worry at all. The coffee was actually so amazing! We both got "the sweet tooth iced medium" one of the best coffee we have had.

    Breve White Mocha over Ice!

    Very cute grab and go coffee spot with good decent coffee and great selection of tea. They have gluten free snacks to offer as well. Parking spot is a bit limited.

    Best coffee in town, though I wish the espresso roast was lighter. Great service and a nice little place to watch Middletown from.

    An awesome cool and friendly place. Great ice teas and coffees. And as far as I know, the only place in Middletown that has wi-fi.

    ZERO STARS!!!My first time visiting this coffee shop was 4 years ago. And it was great. We went…read moreback today and had our best friends with us, excited to show them a really neat and eclectic coffee shop. That is NOT what we found. When we walked up the once cute landscaping on their patio area was unkempt and cluttered with old motorcycle parts. Walking in I immediately noticed the lack of cleanliness. There is just clutter everywhere. And it was covered in dust and grime. There are three tables in the place. Two of which were being taken up by people that weren't actually eating or drinking anything. The other table had a dusty Christmas tree sitting on it with no space to be used as a dining table. One of the workers was I guess just kind of hanging out with those people and the other worker was standing at the register. What I'm getting at is, neither worker was actively making anything for anyone that was currently taking up dining space for actual patrons. The space was so cluttered with stuff you would have thought it might be someone's storage space instead of a restaurant. The whole atmosphere of the place was just gross. I needed to use the bathroom as we were on an 8 hour road trip home. The bathroom was absolutely disgusting. There was no soap in the bathroom and the sink and toilet looked like they had never been cleaned. I live by a rule I learned from watching Gordon Ramsey. If the bathroom of a dining establishment isn't kept clean the kitchen won't be either. This rule has served me pretty well I think. And this place was screaming food poisoning central. The two that worked there seemed nice enough but the pride they have for the place is completely absent. The menu they have in place looks good, but the cleanliness of the place completely ruined it for us. We decided not to eat. We still needed a stretch of the legs before getting back on the road so we were going to enjoy some fresh air outside on the patio. We couldn't even do that because it smelled like pee. And there was bird poop all over the tables. I really love to see quirky and eclectic places succeed, but this place has lost its pizzazz and needs to be closed down. How the health department hasn't done this yet is beyond me.

    THIS PLACE IS AMAZING!!! I'm not a local but when I come to visit I always go out of my way to stop…read morehere before heading home! The owner is very kind and gives top tier customer service.

It is tucked away which is never a bad thing. When you go in, there is a large menu right in front. I do sometimes get a little anxious when trying new places alone so I had already looked online. However, I did notice they were out of several items when I walked in. Luckily, not what I was going to order. It was very hot inside. I felt bad for the lady working. Behind the counter was kind of a mess too. It looked more like a warehouse than a kitchen type area. I ordered my boba and was out the door in no time. Which was wonderful since it was hot both inside and outside. I ordered a taro milk tea boba and it was just okay. It was insanely sweet. I don't like my milk tea's overly sweet so it was hard for me to get through. If someone wants to go sometime, I'll definitely try them again as their fruit does look amazing. I just don't know that I would go out of my way again for it.
