It's a cute barn that has antiques, coffee, and other goods . I ordered an iced banana/bread latte. I liked it, but I did not get cold foam so it would have been better if I would have done that. It's the cutest set up they have. Next time when I have more time, I will buy coffee and shop. If you are ever in Lakeside, stop by as they are a drive through too.

Rude staff and a very disappointing experience…read more My friend ordered a Lotus frappe, and unfortunately, it was not good at all. It tasted more like crushed cookies than an actual frappe, and she was literally chewing on pieces of ice. Since we've ordered the Lotus frappe here before and it was perfectly fine, we figured this was simply an issue with how the drink was made this time. I politely asked if the drink could be remade as a caramel frappe instead, since we knew that one was good. Instead, we were told, "We can't do that, you would have to pay." I'm sorry, but why would we pay again for a drink that was made poorly the first time? We weren't asking for a free drink just because we changed our minds. We were asking for the original drink to be corrected because it was genuinely not drinkable. What really made the situation worse was being told, "We're not a chain like Starbucks to just remake drinks... this will go to waste." Respectfully, if the concern is that the drink will "go to waste," perhaps the better solution would be to make sure the drink is prepared correctly in the first place. I understand that businesses don't want to waste product, but making a customer pay for another drink after receiving one that was poorly made doesn't exactly feel like great customer service either. I'm not expecting the "customer is always right" treatment, and I'm certainly not trying to be difficult. But when a customer genuinely cannot enjoy what they were served, the reasonable thing would be to offer a solution rather than essentially tell them, "Sorry, pay again." We've had good experiences here before, which is why this was especially disappointing. Hopefully this was just an off day, because the way this was handled left a much worse taste than the frappe did.

After finishing dinner, I decided to check out a dessert spot just down the street, and I'm so glad…read moreI did! I was absolutely blown away by the desserts here. I tried the Baklava Cheesecake, and wow--it was one of the best cheesecakes I've ever had. The combination of creamy cheesecake and the rich, sweet flavors of baklava was incredible. My taste buds were in heaven! I also picked up some mini baklava pieces, and they were just as delicious--fresh, flaky, and packed with flavor. To top it all off, I ordered a caramel latte, and it was amazing. The coffee was smooth, flavorful, and paired perfectly with the desserts. The customer service was excellent, and everyone was friendly and welcoming. If you're in the neighborhood, do yourself a favor and stop by. You definitely won't be disappointed. I'll absolutely be coming back!

I was ready to go preach on the street. It was *that* good. We're talking coffee Reformation. The whiskey latte (iced with oatmilk) was transcendent. Absolutely life-giving. It was perfect on every level. The flavor was incredible. (Usually if I get a large drink, I have some leftover for later, but not this time.) Completely ruined *all* other coffee shops for me. (Except Honey Haven! Haha) I cannot wait to go back.

We come almost every weekend, and they consistently deliver. The lattes are a must-try, while the cold brew is smooth, refreshing, and full of flavor. For coffee enthusiasts, I highly recommend ordering one of their single-origin pour-overs. Their house-made syrups add a special touch, and the breakfast sandwiches and pastries make the perfect pairing. The staff is always warm and welcoming. It can get busy early in the morning, but that's a good sign--and the incredible aroma alone makes the wait worthwhile. Great coffee, friendly service, and plenty of delicious optionsthis is a weekend favorite you won't want to miss!

The menu is filled with fun takes on old standbys and plenty of options to personalize your cup of happiness. The seasonal menu goes beyond the big chains idea of seasonal yum.

Not gunna lie, I was disappointed with the #TaterTotRings we ordered. They were plain tots (no fun shape) with some salt & pepper, served with a side of house sauce. The sauce was good, as were the tots. Hopefully, I can try the fun Tot Rings next time. I also ordered my favorite coffee, Salted Caramel Macchiato with oat milk. I needed to know if it was worth my time to get back to those tots. My coffee was perfect!
