The Arnold Palmer peach tea was refreshing. And the wrap was simple.... Well.... Delicious! I mean I could eat that wrap everyday twice a day!! I'm beginning to understand why they are so busy. The price point is on the higher side but the quality is excellent. Note parking on the weekends are a premium, just relax, find a parking spot somewhere else and walk over, you won't be disappointed. ;-)

So glad there's a grocery store out here in the middle of nowhere…read more I stopped by recently when I was camping in the area, and found a lot of great meal options. Since I didn't even have my ice chest or camp stove with me, my options were super limited. But I still managed to find lots of snacks, including trail mixes and dried fruits, yogurts, and a great selection of reasonably priced salads in the deli. All the food I bought here was reasonably priced and good quality. Checkout times were not bad at all and the staff was friendly. Would definitely shop here again. As an added bonus, there was a lot of covered parking on one side of the building, which was nice because it was simultaneously hot and storming during my visit.

Warm Italian dressing. I honestly thought this was a fresh veggie wrap. It was terrible. My friend ordered. The sandwich had as a side the garlic fries. The waitress presented the food and then a minute later said the cook forgot to toss it in the garlic. She took the plate to "toss" them in the garlic but the garlic and oil was just poured on top in one spot. Gross. They didn't eat the fries where the garlic was "deposited." The waitress did check on us and did refill our drinks but the grimace on her face never went away. There are so few restaurants in Cool. It would be nice if they were good with great food but this one is not. Not friendly either. Friendly goes a long way. It helps soften the blow of mediocre food.

I got the blueberry pie latte and it was so refreshing and tasted so much like blueberry I loved it. The only reason I wouldn't give it a 5 stars is because I feel like they have a little bit of a more sour (idk how to really describe it) espresso shot, maybe from a shorter brew time or an under extracted shot but nonetheless the coffee was still great. It came out quick, along with my two other friends' coffees and the seating was nice. I definitely prefer some other shops over this one but it's still a solid spot!!

All the food that they have there is made fresh to order the morning of and runs out very quickly because it is a local spot. I would highly recommend getting a slice of pie and one of their empanadas that are made fresh. They have different coffees that is comparable to Starbucks, but I would say is cheaper and a large larger portion. The inside is a market that has different local goods made by the locals in the area as well as indoor and outdoor seating near the river. It's a very cute mom and pop shop that gives you a feel of the local area, I would highly recommend going inside and taking a look and talking to the staff there!

Our drinks were absolutely delicious and we were especially surprised by the black matcha as we've never had anything like it before. The texture is very similar to Thai tea but it has a very sweet and smooth taste. The owner was very sweet and very knowledge about his craft. We also found out that this place has only been open for 3 months!! We hope this place gets more attention because it is SO GOOD!!! If you're looking for some delicious coffee I highly recommend you stop by. It's also attached to a small store which my friend and I happily did some damage in.

Limited selection of food options, but everything seems interesting, like the breakfast sandwich with aioli, the peach turnover pie, and the variety of quiches (including two quiches with asparagus). I had one of the asparagus quiches and it was tasty--nice balance of asparagus and feta--if a little mushy. I also had a pour over coffee (very nice that that's even on the menu) and it was as smooth and rich as you'd expect. I did find the food service to be a little slow, which was surprising given that it wasn't that busy, but that just provided us with a little more time to take in the nice environment and enjoy some pre-meal conversation.

From the entrance, it's in the front left corner of the store. The folks working here weren't minding the shop too closely & didn't immediately notice their new customer, but were really friendly when they did come over to help me with my wake-up juice. I got an iced coffee refill of my big insulated tumbler & was all set to hit the road. I was sure glad to find a Peet's in Auburn. For me, it's vastly superior to any coffee from Seattle.
