The scone was unlike any I have had previously. Served warm it was moist and soft, not dry and not hard. The scone and Cortada are the best I can recall having at any coffee shop, including those in Kansas City, Chicago, St. Louis, Onyx Coffee in Northwest Arkansas, Little Rock Arkansas, Evocation Coffee in Amarillo TX, et all. The well-trained barista was friendly, knowledgeable, and did her best to prepare my Cortada just as I liked it. I usually forget to request a ceramic or glass for drinking coffee in the store, but she asked if that was my preference; extra points here! The layout, ambience, cleanliness, and variety of seating in the shop and outside were absolutely perfect. The four or 5 mile drive off the interstate to this coffee shop in an exceptionally small town was an unexpected find I am glad I didn't mess. I don't think you will be disappointed either.

The staff members are always very friendly. The food is served fresh and hot and has nice portions. With the coupons and discounts we have lunch or big breakfasts for both at 12 - 15 $. We get big breakfasts with 3 eggs and biscuits and gravy and a waffle, and sausage and bacon for $8.50. You can't beat this much good food for that kind of price. Today's lunch for two that is pictured costs $12.26 with water to drink. What a great deal! Nice and cool in the summer and nice and warm in the winter. It's a regular stop for us. I would recommend for lots of good food for a great price.

It's much less common than a waffle house and it sounds much more cuddly. They have a very similar menu - I think it was copied. It's all about the hash browns all the way, especially with extra chili all over them.

Possibly the worst starbucks I have ever been. Spent 15 minutes in the drive thru with 2 cars in front of me, only to get my drink wrong. I asked if it was a caramel macchiato because it didn't look right. She was obviously annoyed and assured me it was! I took one sip to find it was NOT! I went inside and wasted another 5 minutes having them remake my drink, no apologies, no free drink. Just wasted my time! read more
