A huge rainstorm blew in as I drove over and so I entered quite literally with a clap of thunder. It was scary! I made a joke about getting struck by lightning to defuse the tension and the two employees and the couple guests in the space looked at me like I'd grown three heads and said nothing. This frosty reception continued as I looked at the menu, asked a question, and placed my order. Not the most welcoming staff. The atmosphere otherwise is very nice! Love the decor and the welcoming art and signs. Seems like a great place to get some work done. There's a small library where you can grab a book to read too. There's pastries and baked goods for sale and maybe a few other things to eat; I was stuffed from lunch so didn't pay too close attention. I asked a staff member which of two specialty lattes she liked better; she flatly told me she hadn't tried the "Easley" but that the "Swann" was their best seller. I chose that. It had white chocolate and caramel; I declined the whipped cream on top and got it iced. It was a really good coffee drink! Super pale blonde in color and very sweet...but that's how I like my sugar - er, coffee. It was a nice dessert/energizer combo and I enjoyed it a lot! Would ultimately recommend for vibes and a tasty treat.

Right now, I'm in love with their Iced Vanilla Chai Tea topped with Lavender Cold Foam--it's simply delicious! The wait isn't ever too long, and the prices are just right.

This coffee shop and cafe was on our way home from Oneonta and I wanted some caffeine for the road…read more We pulled in here. There's a gravel parking lot with a few bumps in it, so watch yourself as you walk in. The inside is like a cafe/small market with lots of dry goods and souvenirs for purchase. It has some faith-based/churchy vibes and it's clean inside. I'll be totally honest, I don't really care for the name "Sharecroppers" and even less for the phrase about picking cotton painted on the wall, but to each their own I suppose. It was rather stuffy in the building; definitely could've used some A/C. There were two employees present, a young man and woman. I interfaced more with the young man; he was somewhat surly and didn't engage with me much. The woman was much friendlier and provided recommendations and information when he was noncommittal and non-communicative. So why the 4 stars, still? The drink was awesome. I got one of their specialty seasonal drinks, a churro latte. The nice woman made it and it was excellent; smooth, creamy, sweet, and super cinnamony -- just like a churro! It was a delightful and refreshing treat that was just what I needed. It was one of the best specialty lattes I've had in a while; it delivered on its promised flavors, wasn't bitter but also wasn't overly sweet, and had a great ratio of ice to beverage. Bravo on the latte! Definitely would drink again.

The interior is decorated really nicely, kind of cool and funky vibes with a surprising amount of space available to hang out. Cute merchandise for sale too. I had a little bit of trouble finding the menu but eventually found it on a paper card placed somewhat inconspicuously near the register. I was only interested in coffee but they have a decent selection of cafe-type food and other beverages. They have seasonal specials and more standard, always-available house specials. I selected one of these and got a small iced Turtle latte, which had chocolate, caramel, and praline flavors. I thought service was a little standoffish and put-upon seeming, but I wouldn't say they were rude; just not super welcoming. My drink was made and served quickly and I got back on the road. The drink was good! Nice balance of ice to liquid and a yummy, sweet, rich turtle flavor. There was a slight artificially nutty aftertaste that I'd guess was the praline that I didn't love, but overall this was a solid drink that I'd probably order again. Give them a try if you're in the area.

We decided to give Karma's Coffee another shot, but unfortunately, it was pretty much the same as…read morebefore. The staff still seemed irritable and not friendly, which again made us feel more like an inconvenience than customers. We had to ask multiple times about our drinks and food, which was frustrating. Again, the HIGH prices... On the bright side, there's a nice bookish vibe that gives it that cozy feel. With the exposed bricks/ductwork, mismatched secondhand furniture, and a small selection of books, it does seem like a good spot to relax and chat with friends... Still, I'll be looking for a different coffee place next time! Somewhere the employees attitudes match the chill atmosphere.

They have legit coffee. Not your grandpa's coffee for sure. Any place that doesn't have a million choices and minimal add-ons is the real deal. The girl was very nice and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get. Outside sitting area is really nice. Somewhere I'd like to go to if I were wanting to get work or reading done. Not sure if it would be a place to sit if it were raining though.

There is a little bit of really great seating in the front. A big comfortable couch, a good selection of foods, and a cool vibe. It looks like the kind of place you'd want to come hang out for a bit, even though there's not a ton of seating. I did notice they had fresh wraps as a lunch option with a good selection of chips, and everything looked delicious. Second, the bad: The place doesn't smell like coffee. Mind you, I was only the second customer of the day. But you know when you walk into a great coffee shop, and the smell of good coffee hits you in the face? Yeah, they don't have this. Which means this... most people will like their coffee just fine (we had mochas, so that's really all I can speak to). It's a little sweet, but the flavor is fine. But my mocha doesn't taste like coffee. It tasted like hot chocolate. And it's disappointing to seek out (and pay $5 for) coffee that doesn't taste like coffee. A mocha should have primarily a coffee taste with the mocha second. Again, most people will like this place. But for those of you who really care about coffee, you might want to drive on into Birmingham and try your luck there.

Using it as a work spot, it's perfect--quiet enough to focus, but still has a nice energy to it. Also, the music they play is spot-on--relaxing and chill, but never distracting. It really helps set the tone for the space. Overall, Maple Avenue Coffee House is the combination of great people, great vibes, and great coffee.
