As a book girl I love that they have blind date with a book and a bookshelf with books. I also enjoyed the music selection. The staff were friendly. I got a Honey Nut Cheerios latte. Delicious! It's sweet so if you don't like sweet then it will not be for you. I also got a bacon, egg, and cheese. Which there was a little more food in the sandwich but it was still filling. We were playing on ordering and eating on the road but decided to sit and eat. I would definitely go back.

One thing I love is they give your dog a cup of whipped cream for free and it's a bigger cup than Starbucks. Plus they put a dog bone or 2 in them for free. So my dog is always happy to get some attention when we go. My absolute favorite drink is the mocha frozen drink. They have different flavor coffees as well or coffee of the day. It's a bit more expensive than some coffee places, but it's good. You give your phone number and earn points as well and after so many you get a free drink. There is 2 lines to go through and everyone is usually friendly and helpful. Music playing as you are waiting. Over all they are pretty fast and they are usually pretty consistent with the orders. Check them out if you're near by you won't regret it!

Pretty much you go in and make your own coffee, and I'm guessing the gas station attendants are in charge of the DD coffee refills and up keep. However, the facility looked clean, the employees were nice. It's just the location wasn't my "cup of tea", I prefer actual Dunkin Donut restaurants.

Yuminess: 4/10 Allergy Safety: 5/10…read morePrice: 5/10 Atmosphere: 8/10 Service: 7/10 Overall: The best part of this place is its cute, relaxed atmosphere with a retro vibe -- definitely a place I wouldn't mind hanging out in for a bit. Unfortunately, the coffee and ice cream didn't hit the spot and tasted off, even though they were on the higher end of the typical price range. There wasn't a great range of allergy-friendly options aside from alternative milk for the coffee, and staff were cordial. Not somewhere I'd return personally, but perhaps I just ordered the wrong things. In-depth: Starting with the best part, the atmosphere is a cute, cartoony retro vibe that's a great spot to hang out with friends in. If nothing else, they 100% got the interior design down here! Sadly, the food didn't live up to my expectations. The mocha latte with almond milk tasted like there was no milk or mocha in it. It was incredibly strong, which I don't always mind, but the coffee itself wasn't the best either. I only drank about half of it. Then the ice cream... I really wanted to love it. I tasted several and none I fancied, so I went with the safe bet of a chocolate PB cup ice cream in a PB cup cone. The overall flavor was ok, but I've never had peanut butter that salty. If I wasn't out with friends, I'm not convinced I would've finished it. Additionally, they didn't appear to have many allergy-friendly options, with the only thing I saw being alternative milks for coffee. The price point was a bit high for the flavor, in my opinion. One scoop of ice cream in a special cone was $7, and a mocha with almond milk was $8. I'm willing to pay this when the flavor is there, but I was disappointed here. Last up, service! When I went, there were two employees; the woman was very sweet and nice, but the man appeared somewhat annoyed, but he could have just been tired. Unfortunately, we did run into the issue of one of our orders being forgotten, and we waited a while to get it. However, they apologized and fixed it promptly when we asked about it. Overall, I wouldn't return here, but perhaps I just ordered the wrong things as I know some locals love this spot.

This morning at 10:30, the place was quite busy with nearly every table holding up someone working on their laptop. Still, it was quiet enough for Mrs. K. and I to enjoy our coffees before getting back onto the road. I've finally figured out my order, a "tall blonde with a small splash of cream" and that worked out well today. Mrs. K. enjoyed her tall latte. The lemon cake was awful - too much sugar and the lemon tasted like fake lemon extract. I would not have that again. The parking lot was clean, the restaurant was clean, there was still some seating despite all the laptoppers. [Review 2260 of 2024 - 3846 in North Carolina - 23277 overall]
