Papa&#x27;s General Store

This place is a 6 star location because it combines the best of both worlds - coffee and a bakery!!…read more When I'm traveling (I'm from Key Largo) I first look for a coffee roaster as they are ALWAYS the best places for an epic latte. My second rule is if it's an ice cream shop or a bakery or a breakfast / lunch spot.... the score goes down because the coffee is usually and afterthought. Well this place broke all of the rules.... BOTH THE BAKERY IS EPIC AND THE COFFEE IS EVEN BETTER! The only thing I didn't like is there is just so much pride stuff. I get it - I'm from the FL keys which used to be one of the main places for LGBT communities (back in the day it was only LGBT). Key West / San Fran and Province Town - those were the only true open communities. But now it's nationwide and it's actually world wide for the most part. From my viewpoints LGB is 100% just part of society and we don't have much flag waiving in the keys because nobody cares - we are all just one big family. It didn't take away from the expense it was just a little too forward.

Good news and bad news. Good news is I found my new favorite coffee shop. Bad news is that it is…read morelocated in Wichita, KS! It's not a knock on the city, it's just that it's a 9 hour drive from Houston! I found this gem on a recent road trip through the Midwest. I was making a drive from Dallas and used ChatGPT to find me the best coffee between Dallas and Abilene, KS. Reverie Coffee Roasters popped up and Yelp reviews looked favorable so I plugged it into the GPS. I don't know the area, but it seemed to be located in their downtown area right off the interstate. I found street parking right out front and unsure if they have a dedicated lot. This place was alot bigger than I expected. Walking in is like a storefront with coffee and merch for sale, as well as where you order. Then they have a huge dining area with lots of seating as well as a patio out back. It looks like a perfect place to catch up with your peeps, read a good book or study. It was busy so the staff was straight business but in a polite and helpful way. They started off as a wholesale coffee roaster. They source their coffee from all around the world. On my visit, I saw coffees from Columbia, Guatemala, Mexico, Ethiopia, and Nicaragua. They also offer every type of brewing method like pour over, drip, chemex, cold brew, French press, etc. The fact that they do all that different sourcing and preparation methods shows me they care about putting out a superior product. My original plan was to grab a cup of joe and keep it moving to my destination, but after walking in and seeing they had nice looking pastries, I decided to get my order and enjoy it there. I love all things s'mores and saw they have a s'mores latte. I had to get it. Another weakness of mine is cinnamon rolls. I saw it on display and had to have it. They heat it up before serving it. I was able to find a cozy corner of the restaurant. My order got called shortly after. The latte was amazing. I could taste the little nuances of a s'more. They even topped the drink with a marshmallow drizzle. I savored that drink. Now let me sing the praise of that cinnamon roll. Hands down the best cinnamon roll I've had. This was a brioche cinnamon roll. They heated it up just right and the icing was just gooey enough without running off the roll. It was soft and oh so delectable. The sweet icing didn't mask the delicious buttery brioche either. Bite of that, then sip of the coffee was a match made in heaven. I had no intention of finishing this generous portion, but I simply could not let it go to waste either. Needless to say, I was on the struggle bus driving on to my next destination. If somehow I could replicate this place and put one in Houston, I would be the happiest man. I will most definitely come back through next time I drive through Wichita!

Simply the gratitude of it being present in middle America sets me up to have a good experience. Someone complained in a review about the "false advertisement" of having shaved ice as most Americans know it. It's hilarious to be that they assumed it to be what they know as shaved ice. If they had tried the Asian shaved ice, I guarantee they'd enjoy it and wouldn't have complained. If you know about other culture's shaved ice, you're open to try new things and let yourself be surprised. I digress. The shaved ice found here is the Korean version, Bingsu. It's very similar to other styles, but this one is mostly milk based. The menu is pretty extensive, including smoothies, yogurt, juice, coffee, boba tea, and of course shaved ice cream. We came for the shaved ice cream, so we tried the strawberry & mango first. It mixed the two, which surprised me since I had assumed it would be half and half separated. The combination worked beautifully. There was whipped cream, strawberry and mango syrup on top and we asked for mango popping boba. It was so delicious! The best way I can describe it is a feathery texture that melts in your mouth. We also tried the coconut one which came with condensed milk and coconut shavings. We also added strawberry popping boba. Highly recommend either/bob. Since the consistency is light and fluffy, even though the portions are generous, you don't feel stuffed afterwards. The place is spacious and has tall ceiling, making it very open. There's seating available on both floors. I enjoyed the Korean music playing and the tv translating the lyrics. The volume was just right (as opposed to some reviews out there complaining it was too loud). I probably wouldn't try to make calls inside though. The guy at the counter was super nice. He kept smiling really big the whole time he talked to us. Made me smile too. He also told us about the Korean cheesecake they have for sale. It looked delicious and fluffy so I got the coffee one. It was more of a sponge cake than cheesecake but it was delicious. Highly recommend.

The beef bulgogi was delicious, but the garlic fried rice was devoid of flavor since it literally tastes like drinking cooking oil but in solid form. Even Panda Express or Dillon's makes better fried rice than Sharky's. There was so much grease that comes out of fried rice that it leaves a pool of grease behind and it creates friction in my mouth when I tried to eat it which is not normal. Overall, I would advise to avoid the fried rice at Sharky's even if you're not a picky eater or otherwise you would be left disappointed. If you're craving fried rice, I would advise to look elsewhere for that craving.

The establishment is very clean. Customer service grade: C+ ..... we felt like the 2 girls working were more worried about gossiping about school than really trying to help customers out. Example: "pistachio I want to try that! Is there a sample cup anywhere..." ***searching and searching*** no help. Stared at the machines for an excessively extended amount of time..... still no help. Started putting small samples into the large bowl rather that the sampling cups which, turns out, are located next to the cash register - where customers typically conclude their experience so I find that particular "storage" choice to be odd especially if your staff isn't focused on the patrons and their needs. Anyways after we became epically overwhelmed and frustrated.... I finally settled on banana flavored yogurt with no toppings. Hubs had peanut butter yogurt with toppings and one of our 5 children had chocolate yogurt with toppings as well. All of our flavors tasted excellent according to our own testimonies. We didn't share!! I'm only sharing the frustration we had - so that anyone after us, who has read this review, may be more inspired to speak up - and ask for the appropriate guidance so that you don't have to deal with being totally overstimulated and essentially stranded. We are looking forward to trying new flavors each month. Now that we sort of know our way around being ignored won't bother us!! The website advertises some very interesting flavors that they rotate, so this is something we are excited to add to our monthly routines.
