The original…read morefurniture pieces add such a warm and nostalgic touch to the overall aesthetic, and the staff couldn't have been friendlier. The only letdown was finding out that the ice cream isn't homemade or unique to the shop--it's just Blue Bell. Now, as a lifelong Blue Bell fan, I'll never turn it down, but with a place that has so much originality and character, we were hoping for a menu that reflected that same spirit. Still, it's a cute spot and worth a visit for the atmosphere alone.

One of the stranger bakeries I have ever been into, they really don't have much to purchase. When I…read morewalked in, they had two cinnamon rolls, and some dog treats. I asked about a pie and they said that all pies have to be ordered two days in advance. I'm not really sure why they have a storefront. I gave a second star because they were very nice despite not having any, you know, baked goods for purchase. *** Edited to include business response: Well darn! I wish you had directed me to that case, we probably could've done with some cupcakes. I will try again next time I'm in town.

When you arrive inside you get a southern homey vibe and are greeted with smiles. I then noticed on the wall that they were known for their breakfast. So I was ecstatic to try it out. When seated I scanned over the menu and decided to try the Chicken Fried Steak breakfast plate. When the food arrived I was shocked! The portions were huge and the biscuit was so soft and delicious and the potatoes were crispy and delectable! The eggs were fluffy and the entire overall experience was phenomenal! I highly recommend this place and even the price was decent! So if you are in the area and want a good meal, stop bye!

Even more than that, the staff is amazing. Each person was so kind and personable - made our day and felt like "home" (we are visiting from out of town). They even put up with my twin three-year-olds who were unwinding for lack of a nap today, and they made a bit of a mess on the way out. When we went to tidy things up, instead of eye rolls or frustration (which would be understandable) one of the managers gave us some fresh salsa to take home and try. Talk about understanding and kind - these people care, and it showed in each aspect of our visit today. We will be back for sure (but maybe leave the twins with a sitter next time;-). Thanks Coffee Dog!

I've supported this local coffee shop for a long time, back when it was owned by Christiana and run…read moreby truly fabulous employees like Nikki, Justice, and Mariah. During that time, Coffee Dog was reliable, welcoming, and worth recommending. Unfortunately, under new ownership, that is no longer the case. This morning was the final straw. I placed my order and waited over 30 minutes, only to receive absolutely nothing. After my order was taken, I reasonably assumed it was being prepared. Instead, a different employee later came to the window and asked what I had ordered as if no record or communication existed at all. At that point, I asked for a refund. What followed was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. The so-called manager came to the window and began explaining how long a sandwich takes to make despite the fact that I did not order a sandwich. The manager clearly did not understand the situation, continued wasting my time, and failed to listen after I had already made it clear that I just wanted a refund since my order was never made. Even processing the refund became a struggle. This is not an isolated incident. On several prior visits, they've been under-supplied, out of basic items, or dealing with non-functioning machines issues that are frankly unacceptable for a business that calls itself a coffee shop. The lack of organization and accountability is astounding. One of our clients regularly purchased gift cards from Coffee Dog for us, but after this experience, I will be telling him not to return. Mr. Hodges, save your money this place is no longer worth it. It's incredibly sad to see how far this business has fallen. I supported Coffee Dog for the longest time, but I am officially done. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Future customers should be aware: this business is not the same under new ownership.

We had so many guests come up to us raving about how delicious everything was. From start to finish, they were easy to work with. They were super responsive and flexible during the planning process, and even went out of their way to provide samples. Everything was delivered on without any issues; they made sure the cookies were beautifully presented, and incredibly fresh. For the quality and service, their pricing was more than reasonable. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and are already looking forward to ordering from them again in the future.

My family loves their cookies and I am a huge fan of their carrot and Italian cream cakes. I am a carrot cake snob and they make a great one! Their cheesecakes are devine as well. They are willing to try and make practically anything you can think to ask for and we have asked many times. We recently tried their sheep milk cheeses and soaps and have fallen in love with them. Will be buying more soon, the soaps smell wonderful and make your skin silky smooth. Highly recommend!
