Tasty coffee options, and fun conversation in that they remembered me from visiting many times in the past. Open spacing, so a great place to meet others if you wish.

I love that they start their eggnog lattes early in the season! They also just happen to have the best ones around, in my opinion. The baristas are also always really nice and get your drinks made quickly + correctly. The location of this one is nice, as it's an easy stop off of Meridian -- it's also in the same parking lot as the South Hill Goodwill, for all my thrifting girlies!! Grabbing an iced coffee and then going to find Goodwill treasures?! Say lesss.

I didn't have coffee this morning and felt like death by the time we were done. I drove up the street and the line at MH wasn't 8 cars deep for once! I ordered an iced SF caramel white mocha with oat milk. She asked if I wanted cold or hot shots. Excuse me? She explains a cold shot... Sold! Best version of this drink I have ever had. I wish this place was up the street from my house. I would be there every day. $7 and some change. Worth every freaking penny. The Barista was super nice without feeling fake. I will be back next month. Maybe sooner. :p

The wait in the drive-thru was slightly avobe average, but once I got to the window, I was welcomed by a friendly smile and a how are you today? Instead of the typical- what can I get for you?. So baristas were very friendly. The prices, were healthy for my budget, lol yup I got a big scone and a latte for less than 7 bucks. The coffee itself was perfection, I am not sure what brand coffee they use but it was delicious and easy on my stomach too. The scone was delicious too, it was not freshly baked though. Overall, I recommend this place.

You can create your own version as well. My personal favorite is my vanilla lavender latte. 16 oz. Delicious. Friendly staff. They also are very engaging and busy. This lets you know it's a good location with good espresso. They sell sandwiches and GF pastries. Manager Katie and her team of baristas always give good customer service. Recommended

Inside is a nice size and they have seating to gather and visit. They have some unique signature coffee drinks but I went with a standard latte. I liked that they had 2% milk (so many places only have whole or non fat milk). Barista was super friendly/outgoing. You could tell she enjoyed her job. The coffee was probably 3 stars. It wasn't hot enough for me and Starbucks espresso is better. But with the great service I gave them 4 stars.

I found on Yelp that Volcano coffee was within 5 minutes of my location. This was definitely a random visit which turned into a wonderful one. Upon my entry, I was greeted with a cheerful "Good Morning " by one of the ladies (employee/possibly owner) and had made eye contact. I advised it was my first visit and if she didn't mind me taking some updated photos of the business as Yelp had old pictures. She stated "You're more than welcome, let me know when you're ready to order". I thanked her and I would holler. The place was larger than I expected. The building didn't look as big on the outside. I guess I was fooled. LOL! The ambiance was clean, comfortable with cozy lounge furniture and dining tables. There is a Fireplace, however, was not in use as it was warm inside. The Christmas tree was still up. I was advised by one of the ladies that they leave it up and change the theme throughout the year. I thought that was pretty neat. Drive thru is available. After looking through the menu. I opted to order the sausage egg muffin breakfast $6.50. This was good. I also ordered a Masala Chai latte with coconut milk $6.30 (inclusive of up charge $.75). This was recommended by one of the ladies and had claimed it was her favorite drink. I enjoyed this drink very much! I also had a warmed apple fritter $3.05 which was good. The three ladies that were working on that day were so joyful, full of smiles and laughter. I could tell they had great chemistry and enjoyed working there. I believe one of them was the owner. They surely made my morning and my day. I left merrily on my way to run the rest of my errands. I shall be back! =)
