They have since changed owners since I last visited, and had the opportunity to meet the new owners daughter who was working on bar that day. She is so friendly and makes a great macchiato! I used to be a barista for a few years and have since become an at home espresso enthusiast. This cafe produces delicious, quality espresso made with care. Quiet, clean, and cozy. Great study spot or catch up with friends. Can't wait to return next time I'm in town!

Do not get beans here. Do not let them grind them. I like to support local shops when I am…read moretraveling and I have my own espresso maker. I asked for espresso grind. When I opened the bag I could tell right away it was too fine. I attempted to pull a shot, but got nothing. It was most definitely Turkish grind. Since I could do nothing with the bag, I went back to explain this was ground too fine. The same individual was there and reacted with condensation, saying this is indeed espresso grind, which is basically Turkish, and he doesn't know what kind of maker I have so he cannot dial it in. I said I have never had this problem in the years I have done this at other shops. He acted like he could do nothing for me, so when I pressed that I can do nothing with these beans I spent money on, he got on the phone. At one point I heard him say, "Yes, I tried to explain that to her." As if I didn't know what I was talking about. I was finally given the option to get a bag of beans without having them ground, which is all I really wanted. I can grind the beans in my own grinder at home. I went down the street and bought a bag of beans there. I asked for espresso grind and mentioned that the last place gave me Turkish. She had to look up the appropriate setting, but she got it perfect. When I got home and opened the bag of beans from Black Iron, the beans were oily and smelled burnt. My coffee tasted that way, too. I was rather shocked because the latter I had ordered with my purchase was not bad. I had to use them up slowly by masking the bad taste with my go-to beans.

Stop in while taking a stroll downtown. They had a season latte menu so got the cherry vanilla iced…read morewith almond milk. It was good. Not the best latte I've ever had, but I was disappointed in it either. The service was good. I HATE that at checkout the kiosk asks if you want to tip. I think people have forgotten why the tipping process was created. Anyway.... Very cozy place. They sell some local goods such as candles, jewelry, and homemade cards (made by a 10 year old). Check it out!

This is a great coffee shop! With tasty coffee!…read more If what you're looking for is a place to have a meeting and drink coffee, then come here. The place is quiet, has tables, chairs, nooks, Wi-Fi, East-facing windows, and ample parking. But If you're looking to have a sit down breakfast, not-so-much. You can order food and it's designed as grab-and-go. They do most all the hot food on their panini press. This all seemed surprising based on the size of the space I was standing in. I had the sausage, egg and cheese burrito which was hot, cheesy and had sausage and egg in it. My husband had the Ham and Swiss panini which was hot, had lines in it, with ham and swiss cheese and even some mustard to give it a little kick! The gentleman at the counter was very polite and nice. Support this small business! Buy coffee here -- they make good coffee!

Nice selection of baked goods available in their counter case. Plenty of chairs and tables inside and out. It is a little loud due to having all hard surfaces and not many soft surfaces indoors.

The facility was accessible without steps, clean, well lit and lots of space to sit and chill. We placed our order. I had a pistachio hot chocolate. Never had one before. It was good. Tasted like warm nuts with chocolate. The restrooms were in the back. I found them to be very large and clean The seating area was open and the vibe was relaxed. $7 for a hot chocolate seems like a lot that also include tip. I really like the location. There's lots of parking around behind the facility or along the street, but it's right in the intersection so it's something you walk to.

This is from their food truck which I found at the Howell farmer's market. I have been to the…read moremarket two weekends in a row and there is always a long line to get their coffee here. It all looks so good. I got the cold brew with chai and cream. While it was not strong coffee, it was nice and spicy and pleasant, very drinkable. I will definitely be back here for more. I would love to try their Ghirardelli hot chocolate if I find them on a fall day.

I was going to leave a bad review but instead I decided to go all Karen and ask for the manager…read more There's no point in talking about what went wrong with the initial order, because I think the more important thing was how he handled the situation afterwards. He was extremely nice and apologized for the errors. He asked if he could fix our order and he did. All of it, without hesitation. He also simply upgraded our medium and small drinks to a large without asking. Which wasn't necessary but the gesture is appreciated. I really don't think you can expect every employee to be a star employee, and ours was likely very new. Mistakes happen. But the manager, who I suspect may also be the owner of the franchise, made us happy in the end and I think he should be recognized for that.

Every time I come here it's the same story. Unenthusiastic workers who love to rush you and rude…read moretones to match it. I wish it wouldn't be this way because I love visiting Tim Hortons. However this Howell location needs to find some way to fix their lackluster customer service.

I have had a lot of both good and bad bubble tea over the past fifteen or so years of my life, and…read morestill the bubble tea at Bolicious managed to surprise me with how unenjoyable it was. There was a single employee working when we entered, which led to a slower than ideal experience, but she was kind and besides, I blame the pace more on the fact that she was alone. She appeared to be doing her job just fine. Unfortunately, her job is to mix mysterious "flavor powders" with bitter tea and pour that vile liquid over hard bubbles. We tried two flavors and both offered the same Bolicious assault of bitter and watery flavors. They also had the added effect of leaving my mouth dry which was surprising, but sort of on-brand with the rest of the experience. On top of this, two medium drinks came out to about $14, which seemed pretty expensive. Especially considering what you were paying for. The one positive I have to share is that the (suspiciously hard) bubbles were sweet and actually pretty enjoyable on their own. My wife didn't agree with me on the bubbles, so your experience may vary, but I at least got some enjoyment out of emptying out the liquids and making my way through the bubbles. I would love to see Bolicious turn this around as they're the only Bubble tea place around here. I don't think that's a small order, but maybe I just caught them on a bad day? I've only gone in once, so I won't write them off entirely, but for now I'll unfortunately be avoiding this establishment.

We ordered 3 teas-altogether was just over $20. Seems ridiculous for 3 drinks and the one size…read moreoffered. The mango-peach was very good with typical fruity bobas you would expect. I would give it 4 stars. The brown sugar with tapioca initially tasted "ok" but the more I sipped it the more it was overwhelmingly sweet and simply not a good flavor. The tapiocas seem rather hard also. I would give this tea 1 star. The last tea was the cookies n cream. While I would rate this one one star higher (2 total) (chocolate bobas) than the brown sugar tea, the flavor left much to be desired. Bottom line, I think you would be safe with a fruity tea but buyer beware on the others. Didn't try any waffles this visit. All said and done, better off to go to Tropical Smoothie if you have an urge to drop some coin on a speciality drink.

Man, this place has everything, with a twist. At first glance, its nothing unique, at least until…read moreyou see what's on display that's for sale. Its normal to see big cookies for sale, but when I went, there was big oatmeal creme pies! Just like how Coldstone has "gotta have it" sizes, this place has "get what you pay for" size. If that isn't enough, their milkshakes are something to gawk at. They're basically a "Midwestern dessert" version of a Bloody Mary with the milkshake itself, then you have cake pops, ores, big cookies, ice cream cones, basically anything you can find in the ice cream aisle of your grocery store is probably topping your shake. Something else that's cool is theres little thin crust personal pizzas for a little grease and crust to balance out the sweetness. If you don't want to look at what they sell on the menu, just look at the displays, everything is out there for you to see in the bakery. The staff is also very helpful, polite, and everyone was smiling in there. There's a reason this place is busy during the summer months. If they're open during Christmas time, im coming back to see if they have anything seasonal recipe-wise.

I knew they had amazing sweets of course, but had no idea the other quick breakfast/lunch options. I ended up selecting what I'll call the pickle pizza. Posting a picture.

Not here! I was greeted immediately and kindly, questions answered, and the young lady helping was patient and helpful. I can't wait to go back and try other items!

Usually, choices are slim, mostly fast food. Today we were lucky, Eternity Brewking was open until 6 p.m. I dropped the idea of doing yoga and we got our butts to the place since it was 5 p.m. We kike it a lot. Service was excellent, Kylie (?) was fantastic, friendly, funny, attentive, and helpful with recommendations. She was great with all the customers. The space is open, simple, and comfortable promoting a welcoming atmosphere. Few items on the menu, are simple, and tasty. I had grilled cheese with one of the best tomato soups I had in a long time, great combo. Plenty of gooey yummy cheese and toasted crispy bread I washed that down with a flight of very interesting beers. The one that took me by surprise is When Life Gives You Blueberries.
