I got the quad cinnamon dolce iced latte and an iced mocha. Both made well and tasted delicious. They had a good selection in their pastry case, and a well stocked sandwich cooler. What really stood out for me was their unique signature Sandusky drink, blueberry waffle cone Frappuccino! It sounded amazing. I just had the Toft's blueberry waffle cone ice cream, and this drink reminded me of that. How amazing to have a stand out item like this. I also liked their positive customer of the day board, and positive sayings around the store. Super fun! Very friendly place, full of good vibes. This store is a great location, and easy to get in and out of. We will be back.

It has plenty of parking and is very cutely decorated. Bathrooms are clean. Food was amazing. Our whole party got various drinks, and they have a wide selection of combos. Bloody Mary was highlight along with their coffee. All of our food was delicious. The quinoa was super good and interesting almost sweet. Eggs Benedict were cooked perfectly. Steak and chorizo tasted fresh and delicious. Our server was amazing. Ver nice and brought a littl birthday treat for us. Food took some time and she was very nice and kind about it. Honestly the wait for the food did not phase me since everything was made so fresh.

I had the Alex which is a mix of three syrups. It was ok but did have a syrup-y artificial aftertaste. Also their espresso is very strong and felt effects very quickly. So keep that in mind. The breakfast sandwich was just egg, cheese and flour wrap. It was ok, the kid semi tolerated it. The star of this place is the service. Alex was very good. Thr ambiance was unique. The price was very reasonable.

I just got an iced latte with pistachio cold foam, and it was delicious - perfectly sweet and smooth. Nate got a specialty drink that was tasty, with chocolate, cayenne, and pumpkin cold foam. The space is cute and pink and it was decorated for Halloween. The employee taking our order was super sweet and patient. We also got a breakfast sandwich - I LOVE a coffee shop with actual food. You can choose a bagel, English muffin, or croissant, with your choice of meat and cheese + egg. We did sausage and pepper jack on an English muffin. Oh and they took my name for my order, yay! The breakfast sandwich was so good - super melty and cheesy. And it was only $8! If I lived nearby I think I would come to this place daily. There is a cozy seating area in the back and it is connected to the bar next door.

Sweet Cheekz is filled with character and charm as well as a very friendly staff. They have got to have every single flavor you can imagine as well as very funny and cute names to go along with their coffees and flavors which is a cute idea. The staff was very kind and helpful when ordering as all the flavors can seem a bit overwhelming if you do not know exactly what you like. Although we did not get to see the bistro side of things, it did look like it was tied to a larger place with more seating, kitchen, etc so it would be interesting to go back and give the other half of this place a try. The price is good for the high quality drinks and service and this is definitely a place to stop in and check out if you are in the area! The coffee and flavors were great in all the drinks and the cold foams tasted like dessert! I will definitely be back when I find myself in Sandusky again.

The owner and staff couldn't be nicer and they're super helpful without being condescending or pushy. If you're into organics, holistic care, or just some hard to find products, this is the place to look. And the products are actually priced competitively so don't expect to go broke just because it's a specialty store! My only complaint is that I wish they were a bit larger but I don't really fault the owners. I just think Sandusky simply isn't large enough and doesn't have enough awareness to support expansion of a store like this. Maybe someday.... *bonus: Piccolos wine shop is in the same plaza. They have a great wine selection plus a good variety of craft beers.

The honey cinnamon oatmilk latte was very good, hot, gave fall vibes, so smooth. Not too sweet. The mocha Nana nut is great if you're looking for a caffeine booster that's different and exciting than your usual coffee variations. It was delicious. Cacao nibs. Dates. Banana. Cold brew. I added mct oil and collagen, but don't think it's needed! Value is questionable and individual-specific. Smoothie was $12. Coffee was 6.5$.

There is two retail areas with one for Starbucks coffee and other custom made drinks and the other area for retails inside the store. Like I said, I purchased a comb for only one dollar and I was pleasantly surprised along with buying a Diet Dr. Pepper and a Nestle Crunch bar. On that Friday more before workshops, I purchased a cold coffee drink for my girlfriend. However, some cell phone service can be spotty. You cannot use your Starbucks Gift Card there because it is part of Kalahari Resorts. The staff at Java Manjaro was very nice and helpful in welcoming me at Kalahari Resorts on the first day.
