I live out of state, so I'm not a regular, but I do stop by every time I'm in the state. I loved the place under the previous owner--I mean, she read mystery novels when the place wasn't busy, and the drinks and service were always good--what wasn't to love. When my son got married I had all my Seattle folk coming out stop there (the mocha with the brownie mixed in was a big fave). So I was a little concerned to see new people there when I stopped by today. And I'm happy to report that Kelsey (sp?) made an excellent mocha. I will continue to stop by when I visit, and will be a regular when I move out this way! read more

Really great coffee shop! The real deal here. Support your local baristas and stop here instead of big name coffee. They are cheaper and better! read more

Excellent coffee. Excellent service. Love the snickerdoodle flavor. Good value too. Wish they were open on Sunday.

My BFF was raving about Morningstar and we hit it up before we went to Charm at the Barn on Saturday and she was SPOT ON! Which Chocolate Mocha Skim Milk (yes, with whip cream - choices) and nice and hot. So good! We splurged on a blueberry lemon coffee type cake that was HUGE and hit the spot perfectly. This couple who owns this place - super nice owners very personable and Cathy was right - it was worth the quick drive out to stop. Always work hard to help support your local businesses! read more

Great coffee, friendly service! Kelsey gives us great, personal recommendations and we found a new drink we love. Morningstar is part of our regular routine! read more

We came here, after my wife saw all of the five star reviews. Upon arriving, I was immediately skeptical based strictly on appearances. And this skepticism ramped up upon seeing that all the reviews came from relatively infrequent Yelpers. But, I gave Morningstar the benefit of the doubt and tried it. Turns out, I shouldn't have. My latte was flavorless, so I essentially paid $3 for a glass of warm milk. I was/am pretty salty about it, considering how many great cafes are in the area. The only reason that I'm giving Morningmid more than one star is due to the fact that my wife said her chai latte "wasn't the worst" she's ever had. So, there's the silver lining, I guess. read more

Janet is the best! She makes Wonderful delicious coffee and she is always so upbeat! She also gives my sweet kiddos fruit snacks while they wait for my coffee to be made - It's really a fantastic shop. read more

Great coffee. Choose local small businesses over chains, especially this one. Drive by everyday but decided to stop in one time and it was well worth it. read more

The best white mocha I have had in years! The lady who runs it is so kind, pleasant and makes a great coffee! Better yet the value for what you get is unmatched. We ordered a medium latte and medium white mocha and our tab was under $10. Highly recommend stopping there! read more

They are wonderful!! Always so nice; it really lights up my day getting to say hi to these folks. Their coffee is really good, and I love that they have a large sugar free syrup selection (and these syrups are actually good and don't just taste like chemicals). read more

This place has good reviews so I have to admit I was disappointed. I got a chai latte which was just okay. And I got a muffin that was just okay. It isn't anything to write home about. Service was friendly and fast, and since it is a drive thru it is convenient. But I would not go out of my way to come here again. read more

Morningstar is a neat little place for coffee. It's a drive thru only. They have a window you could order from if you aren't in a car though. It's not much to look at. The service is extremely quick. I had a regular Americano. It's about $2.50 for the medium size. The menu is kind of limited because there's not much room but it does have a good variety in spite of this. A few things they can make include macchiato and mocha. They also have soy milk available, and you can customize your coffee many ways. It might be hard to get to because of the hours. It's open in the mornings and closes early afternoons. Try to get there even if you have to be late. read more

Latte had the right amount of cream, White Chocolate Mocha the right amount of sweetness (not overly sweet). Service was great, very friendly. read more

One of my favorite coffee places! We come every Saturday morning and it's always great, the couple who runs it are so nice :)

Janet was so nice and her White Chocolate Mocha is life changing!!! Service is swift and with a smile! And who doesn't love supporting local businesses, especially one that is serving perfect drinking temperature elixir of the gods!!! read more

Not from around here, looking for a nice coffee shop because our hotel did not have great coffee. Pulled up to this little shop and it immediately felt welcoming. Nicest people ever and they were great to talk to! 10/10 white mocha, and mango smoothie, so amazing! read more

I have been coming here for years. The owner is the sweetest most humble person I have ever met. She gives my kids treats everytime I go there. I'd give her ten stars if I could. read more

Morningstar is the first coffee shop I visit when I'm back in Cincinnati. Janet is the sweetest owner and has gotten to knife me personally over the years of visiting. Some of the best service you could ever get. Will be a lifelong visitor. read more

I wish I could give this cute little place 1 million stars. Janet is the nicest woman I've ever met & makes the best Iced Vanilla Latte I've ever drank. 4 fresh shots in a $5 coffee while a lovely woman talks to me about her day? Thanks, I'll take 10. It's a miracle I live 2 minutes away. read more

came in from out of town and saw reviews. terrible service, dated building and latte froth had visible large bubbles rather than velvety foam. if a coffee connoisseur you will prefer Starbucks over this experienc. read more

Good, quick service and a good atmosphere. There are separate areas you can sit at if you are by yourself or meeting others. The espresso was pretty good as well. I will go back when in town... read more

Amazing coffee and a really good price! I had a ice latte and it was amazing, very flavorful. Also she was very quick! Perfect stop to by before work read more

Excellent coffee. Excellent and friendly service. Skip Starbucks and get yourself to the hut!

I work right around the corner from this place and I have to say I would give Janet 10 stars if I could! My coworkers and I have really gotten to know her over the last couple years and she is such a sweet person. She will most likely remember your name after 3 or so visits! Her green tea with honey is fantastic as well as her hot white mochas and smoothies! Her husband also bakes scones for her shop which are available on most Tuesday's and they are delicious! I can't say enough good things about the "coffee hut" and it's wonderful owner! read more

Delicious coffees and smoothies. Amazing customer service! The owner is really kind and very caring.

The service here is amazing, as is the coffee. All of the baked goods are really great too - especially the coffee cake muffins. Long live the Bean Queen ! read more

Best Feature: Delicious coffee, convenient location, and frequent buyer card rewards! Worst Feature: Not all available coffees seem to be listed on menu. Kinda confusing. I've stopped in several times now, but so far my impression of this drive-thru coffee place is a a great one! I pulled in the first day having seen it several times as I'd passed by on the main road. I finally stopped in to try it out. If you're looking for a sit-down coffee place, this isn't going to suit you. It's drive-thru only. They have a menu on a path through the drive thru as well as the order window, which is REALLY convenient in case you're highly indecisive (like I was on my first trip). So far the few employees I've met have been incredibly nice! I've been asking for suggestions and recommendations and it always brings a big smile to my face when I get enthusiasm from the employees about their products. The first barista recommended I try a cafe mocha which was definitely a great suggestion! I'm a huge chocolate/coffee fan and this really hit the spot. Definitely ranks right up there (actually I like it more) than Starbucks, etc. and I like that they let you customize it (non-fat milk, whip cream/no whip, etc.) I spoke with another employee who informed me they've been there the past 6 years and according to their menu they also do group orders, too, which is really nice! My second trip yielded the amazing recommendation of a white mocha latte - so far it's my favorite!! Sweet and rich without being overwhelming. **Added perk! I was given the option of trying the recommended coffee and if I didn't like it, I could order something else. That is REALLY generous service as sometimes we get stuck eating/drinking something we are not enjoying. It shows real customer appreciation to offer that option, and I was really blown away by that one. Just an extra "small" thing that makes the entire experience quite fantastic! I also am a huge fan of cards that allow you to earn a free drink or perk - helps give me an incentive to return. My first trip yielded me a few bonus stamps, too, just for stopping by! The incentive is if you buy 10 drinks, you get the 11th free. I also didn't spot an expiration date, so it's great to have no pressure to have to return to spend $$ in a short amount of time. This way I can stop by at my leisure and eventually get a free drink out of it. The prices are comparable to a major coffee chain - got a medium cafe mocha (16oz) for around $3.90, I believe. Not bad! :) It's about what I'd expect and I like that they're not crazy overpriced. The only downside I've found thus far is that they have a few coffees written on a dry erase board outside the shop that are not listed on their menu. I don't know what's in them and I don't know how much they are - so I get rather confused as to whether or not they're available and what's involved w/ the drink. It'd be nice to see all available drinks on the same board since the menus include drink descriptions. But they are more than happy to explain what each drink is, so that is nice! I really like this coffee place and the staff has been super friendly and enthusiastic, so based on great drinks, positive attitude, and reward perks for returning, I'll definitely be back here! read more

Absolutely fantastic coffee and such a nice lady who runs it! I stumbled upon this place when I was driving to work. I made a wrong turn actually lol. But I used to live in Seattle so I knew that the look of this coffee house was similar to Washington coffee stands and I HAD to try it. I was totally right to trust my instinct. Best coffee around hands down. Price in comparison to Starbucks but so much better flavor. Absolutely love them and will be returning for my macchiato again Monday! read more

I can't say enough wonderful things about this place and the owner. She and the coffee are absolutely delightful! The prices are reasonable, lattes and drip coffee are delicious. The owner has been working there every time I've been and she's always so pleasant and gives treats for my dog when he comes with me. Highly recommend this place! read more

Stopped by to grab a cup of coffee and a quick bite to eat this morning. Got a good muffin and a great cup of coffee! The dark roast was awesome. read more

I always drove by this little place and it hasn't been open when i've drove by since it's only open in the early part of the day, but i've always been curious about it. So one morning i happened to be in the area and i decided to give this little drive thru a try. I had such a good experience! I'm pretty sure the lady that serviced me that morning is the owner, and she was so sweet. She made my caramel macchiato perfectly, and quickly. It was some of the best coffee i've had! Will definitely be coming back! the muffin i had was also delicious! read more

Yes! Yes! Yes! This cozy little coffee place is the beautiful thing about entrepreneurship and small businesses. I absolutely adore how quaint and cute the place looks. The owner is so sweet and her chai tea is this perfectly bitter and sweet experience. You can absolutely tell that it's an original recipe - I like my chai dirty (some expresso) and she made It perfectly. I enjoyed my tea with a double chocolate muffin and It was an absolutely delicious burst of caffeinated heaven! My hubby liked his latte a lot (he also had an additional shot) - he had It with a muffin (I forget the flavor) and enjoyed his experience! Definitely worth It to walk up to the window :) read more

I have been going to Morningstar since starting to work in the area. Its nice to pull up to a person that is always smiling, knows you, and remembers your regular order. The coffee is always fresh, excellent and prepared just right. Well worth driving past those national brands... read more

Great alternative to the big coffee chains. They have great coffee here and the service is fast. NOTE: the service is drive-thru only.

I have been a diehard Starbucks snob for at least 15 years. Turning my nose up at any other coffee. Earlier this week I stopped at Morningstar because there were no close Starbucks with a drive thru. I am telling you, this is by far the best coffee I've ever had! Blew Starbucks out of the water! Fantastic! I can't say enough! Plus it's a great feeling to support a local business!! Try it because you won't be disappointed at all! I'm converted, and I never thought I'd ever say that!! read more

Best coffee in town. The barista is so personable and always remembers your order. The coffee is perfection.. Better then Starbucks any day of the week. read more

I couldn't ask for a better smile better conversation and the best coffee ever Janet you are the best Barista ever sister

I was kinda sceptical because its drive thru only.i dont like drive thrus.my wife said best americano ever.

Good coffee, outstanding and friendly service and VERY convenient. Highly recommend!

Super friendly, and great coffee at a fair price. I recommend the caramel macchiato! Delicious!
