This was our first visit to Solo Brew & Roasters in Apple Valley, and now I understand why it's so…read morepopular. We stopped by around 11:00-11:30 a.m., thinking the morning rush would be over, but the place was still packed. After trying it, I can definitely see why. They had already sold out of all their pastries, which says a lot about how busy they are, but the coffee was amazing. I ordered the iced maple salt latte with oat milk, and it was so good. My son got the bourbon caramel latte, and he loved his too. The shop itself is small, but there is plenty of seating both inside and outside. What impressed me most was that there were only two employees working, and they handled the crowd incredibly well. They kept things moving, acknowledged customers as they came in and when it was their turn to order, and were still kind and friendly. The café was also very clean and well kept. For there to be only two people working and the crowd they had at 11 o'clock, I'm sure it had probably been busy all morning. Even so, everything was clean and organized. Great coffee, great service, and a welcoming atmosphere. We will definitely be back.

I like this place! I've tried a variety of drinks, and I have to say I do prefer the hot drinks. I…read morewould recommend the cappuccino and the London fog. Also, I would say this place probably has the best cafe matcha in the High Desert. Compared to everywhere else, the matcha flavor is strong and smooth, but it does taste homemade. The taro latte could use a lot of work. It tastes like melted vanilla ice cream. It can take a minute to get your drinks and order, but I think it's totally worth it to support the local businesses.

I've tried a few but always go back to the iced Spanish latte, which has condensed milk. It's uniquely tasty. Their bagel sandwiches are a full meal in and of themselves. My go to is the sausage bagel which is on a jalapeños bagel with egg, sausage, and cream cheese. Service is always fast and friendly through both sides of their drive thru shack, which also has a walk up window.

My husband and I were road-tripping up to Reno and decided to make a quick coffee stop at Six Beans…read moreCoffee. We were really looking forward to a solid caffeine break... but unfortunately, it didn't quite hit the mark. I ordered a vanilla frozen coffee, and it honestly tasted like... nothing. It lacked sweetness, flavor depth, and that strong coffee kick you expect from a frozen drink. It just felt very flat. My husband got the Spanish latte, which should have been rich and slightly sweet with condensed milk flavor but instead, it tasted watered down. It didn't have that bold espresso taste we were hoping for. We also grabbed a cinnamon roll, which I was genuinely excited about. Sadly, that might have been the biggest letdown. It was cold, dry, and just not good. The texture and flavor were off honestly one of the worst cinnamon rolls I've had. When you're on a road trip, you want that warm, comforting pastry moment... and this wasn't it. Maybe it was an off day, but overall the drinks lacked flavor and the pastry missed the mark. It wasn't terrible service-wise just disappointing from a quality standpoint. Would I stop again on another road trip? Probably not. There are just too many great coffee spots out there to settle for something this underwhelming.

No, I could place a second order to get the fried rice. Ok, whatever, I'll take the steamed rice. The Orange Chicken was like rubber. I tried to bite a piece in half and it wouldn't pull apart, so the whole piece went in my mouth and I had to use my fingers to pull it apart which was embarrassing on a first date! It didn't taste good either. I looked for a knife in the plastic silverware, but there was none. I then went for a bite of the rice and it was so stuck together that I really had to jam my fork into it. It had no flavor at all and I was not offered any kind of sauce for it. I got some salt, but it didn't help. It had obviously been in a cup and turned over on a plate (there was no bowl) so I don't see why they couldn't have substituted the fried rice. The carrots were rubbery too. The only thing half way good was the broccoli. I opted for water to drink because I couldn't see paying over $6 for flavored ice tea. I didn't want my date to feel bad for buying me such a horrible meal, so I managed to get a couple of bites down. He asked if I wanted a box. No, but I said yes, again not wanting him to feel bad. I tried the Orange Chicken again when I got home, using my paring knife, and it was still so bad that I threw the whole thing away. There were only 6-8 people in the place, but it was so noisy that I had to keep asking my date to repeat what he said because I couldn't hear him. I was looking forward to a new place to eat and the online menu looked so great... How sad.

I visited The Grind Coffee for the first time on Mother's Day weekend, and I was really…read moredisappointed with the experience. I ordered two drinks and a breakfast sandwich. I have no complaints about the food or the coffee itself--everything tasted good once I finally received it. The issue was the wait time, which was honestly unacceptable. I waited about 40 minutes for my sandwich and over 50 minutes for my drinks. It wasn't until I went up to ask what was going on that my order was finally given to me. I understand it was a busy holiday weekend, but the wait times and lack of communication were frustrating. There were also multiple people waiting a long time for DoorDash orders as well, which added to the chaos.

The Old Fashioned is crispy on the edges and tender on the inside. It was a little bit bland so maybe I should get a glazed one next time. The Mochi donut is a good size and thickness. I liked the chewiness of the mochi added to the batter. Good flavor and mouthfeel. The donut was also very pretty with its lavender colored icing. The owners are very friendly and hard working. The store is clean and there is a lot of clientele. Definitely warrants a return trip to try the other donuts.
