Haven't been in for a while, but was shocked by the change in atmosphere this morning: Sunday, November 16. Service behind the counter was abrupt as if they were doing me a favor taking my order. Almost bordered on rude. After spending 15 minutes trying to connect to Wi-Fi, I finally asked and was told it had been out for a few days. Great! Put a sign up that says so and stop wasting people's time. Never going back. There are other coffee shops.

Carpe Diem is a charming coffee shop set in a quaint old Victorian house, and is popular in Mobile…read morefor a reason. They roast their beans in house, and the staff is always friendly. For instance, advised that my daughter was shy when the kid hesitated to order one day, the barista brightened up even more and put the girl at ease. Whether their coffee is good or not is completely subjective. I think it's good overall, but it might not be my first choice in town. But it's made with care, and as mentioned, roasted in house. Its popularity speaks to its quality. They also have a very good selection of pastries and other goodies to accompany your coffee, including a Mobile institution--cheesecake from a local company called Cotton Blues. The only gripe I have about Carpe Diem is their seating setup. There simply isn't enough of it. That said, I don't know how they could use the space more efficiently, since the cafe is small as it is. I prefer more private seating, which in other coffee houses I've been to has been accomplished with the judicious use of plants or high-backed chairs. The biggest component of the crowded seating is due to students from Springhill College across the street. Today, for instance, my husband and I were unable to find any seating at all. Even on the days when we can find seating, being entirely surrounded by people working quietly on their laptops feels awkward and lends a library-like feel to the atmosphere. It feels rude to have a conversation at a regular level. I feel like I'm intruding. I don't know how a coffee shop should handle this conundrum, as it's really not good business practice to limit customers' time while there, or to turn away clientele, even in an attempt to please all of their customers. There is already a back room which seems to be an unofficial space dedicated to students, but the overflow still takes up much of the cafe. That said, I enjoy Carpe Diem and going there is a nice little treat. I would definitely recommend it.

I got the cold brew and my husband ordered a cortado which both were really well balanced but definitely not very sweet at all. They make their own syrups in house which is a nice touch but this is definitely a place that lets the coffee shine. You can tell they roast their own beans and care more about highlighting the actual flavor of the coffee rather than masking it with a ton of sweetness. If you prefer your drinks on the sweeter side, I'd definitely recommend asking for a good bit of extra syrup. Really great quality coffee, thoughtful execution, and a spot my husband comes back to frequently. I prefer more flavor options but it's great for what it is

Every time we come we get coffee from Refuge, it's smooth, delicious and maybe the best in town. However, every time we have come here, they are out of most of their baked goods. We would love to come to sit and enjoy breakfast. If you're just coming for coffee to go, this is the place. But if you want to stay a while and maybe eat breakfast or enjoy a treat, you may be disappointed. Not only are they out of food most of the time their furniture is hard surfaces and uncomfortable to sit on. Not a place to stay a while, it's a shame too because it's a great little place. The staff are always friendly.
