I ended up getting a few of the chocolate bars that sounded different, and then one of their carrot cake cupcakes with some might say too much icing, but I don't see that. My coffee was an iced latte with spiced Mexican chocolate syrup. I believe all your syrup are organic. Holy cow, it was spicy! Don't be fooled by the Mexican hot chocolate part, lol. They have a larger room off to the right with tables and artwork and the restroom was so cool, walls and ceiling recovered in mushroom wallpaper colorful and they had a really unique little sink. Parking was along the street, and there was plenty of it on this Thursday morning, service was friendly and quick, and I absolutely would come here again. Along with cookies pastries and coffee/tea, they also had some breakfast sandwiches for you. Support your locals!

They had advertised on Facebook that it was made fresh and was curious to see if fresh pumpkin tasted different. It was phenomenal. The inside is still small and closed off from what I remember during a covid visit. Very much worthwhile to stop in for quality coffee and tea.

However there are some things that are off about this place. Firstly whenever I order a coffee they'll give it to me in a random cup. Sometimes a mug, others a paper cup and even a glass cup. Not necessarily bad just odd. What is odd though is the employees reaction to not getting tips. They will give you nasty looks and lower quality service for not tipping on a 5 dollar coffee. I have one friend who was even made fun of. They will go as far as making fun of him for being gay when he isn't just for not tipping. I like supporting small businesses but the customer service needs work here.

Pumpkin patch latte seems to be the saving grace for this visit. When ordering the young man at the…read moreregister exuded a meh sense of interest in helping us with ordering. 180 degree difference than the greeting and help at Brenda's. The ambiance was busy and bit unkempt as there was no one available to clean the front of the house or tables outside. The bagel is ok, not the traditional bagel I've had from NY. Also very odd that they only offer plain cream cheese with bagels. No options for extra cheese or sausage in place of the egg but sometimes that is expected. My wife's quiche was meh, mirroring our help in ordering and more like an egg casserole than a quiche, the fruit was grapes and we thought that meant cut fruit, again no clarification from our cashier. The main items we enjoyed were the tap water and latte which we were expecting much better due to all of the comments and recommendations that other people have had that they gave us during our vacation. Not wowed, not too much in the way of customer service and we felt bad for the customer s next to us that seemed to have more issues than us with ordering and their service. Glad we stopped, got a punch in our hospitality card but found the whole experience to be just a little below average for the price commanded for what we ordered.

Reposting (copying and pasting) reviews from popular websites such as Google Local, Yelp, and Avvo…read moremay Duplicated Online Reviewsseem like a good idea. After all, someone went out of his way to review your goods or services, and he posted to a reputable site, so why not use their words to your advantage? Here are four good reasons that our team does not recommend reposting online reviews: Poor user experience. When a potential client, patient, or customer reads the same review on multiple sites (your website, on Google+, and your Facebook page), it provides them with a bad reader experience. The more places the reader finds the review, the less likely she is to view it as authentic. Permission repercussions. You should never repost a reviewer's comment from another site to your own website without asking the reviewer's permission first. Ever. This violates the writer's rights and is just plain shady. Review removal. If you repost a review, even with permission from the reviewer, the original review could be taken down. Why? Because review sites have stringent and ever-changing terms-of-use-policies and guidelines. This makes reposting reviews a bit too risky for our liking. Duplicate content issues. Google and all other search engines frown upon duplicate content. When you repost a review, you must rewrite it verbatim, which is, of course, duplicate content. In some instances, it has been found that a reposted review gets the original review page--from Yelp or Google--taken out of search results. And this is the last thing you want to happen.

The Crossing Coffee Bar sits right in the heart of Elkins and has the kind of warm, small-town café…read moreatmosphere that makes you want to like it the moment you walk in. The shop itself is inviting, and the two girls working behind the counter were genuinely sweet and welcoming. Their hospitality gave the place an immediate charm and made the experience pleasant on a personal level. Unfortunately, the coffee didn't quite match the warmth of the service. I ordered a flat white, but what came out was much closer to a poorly made cappuccino. The milk texture and ratios were off, and the drink lacked the smooth integration and balance you expect from a proper flat white. There were several basic preparation issues that suggested the baristas may not have had much training in espresso technique. That said, the friendliness of the staff goes a long way, and places like this often improve quickly with a little more focus on coffee fundamentals. With better training and attention to the craft, The Crossing Coffee Bar could easily grow into a solid stop for Elkins locals and travelers alike. Right now, it's a welcoming café with kind people behind the counter--just a step behind where it could be on the coffee itself.

One of the coolest bar tenders - expert at the craft, and filled with energy. Feels like he really wanted me to enjoy myself, which is just a lost art in hosting / hospitality. The food was excellent, if a bit humble. It will feed ya. It will taste and look great. There will only be a few options on at a time. It will not me some giant platter, or some rare cut. But it will be expertly planned and prepared. The flavors were perfect. The presentation was beautiful. And I did not expect most of the dishes to be foreign or fusion! The chef, truly is someone special. It is, somehow, exactly the imaginary new American foodie place I imagine in my dreams. The ideal or the prototypical. Deeply aesthetic, with the lights and decor. And not understated, or clinical, which is hard to pull off. It definitely has a vibe, feeling intimate and lived in, while still being clean and pleasing. Cute garden out back for a few parties to enjoy the open air and the pleasing greenery.
