    How dead the place was when I walked out!
    John G.

    Attempted to have breakfast but waited 56 minutes for my sausage and cheese omelet with hash browns. The poor young waitress told me three times my order is coming. Then i noticed her doing a take out order. She said to Me again from a distance mine is coming! I told her I was leaving and did. The place was not busy 5-6 local folk spending time together having already eaten! They had a buffet but was for The lunch buffet. Maybe look into a breakfast buffet. Very bad experience!! Picture to show it was not busy at all!!

    Mmmm Mmmm Mmmm Driving through Milen ms my mother in law recommended the lace corn bread. Said it would be the finest thing I put in my mouth. She wasn't kidding. Delicious! Also had the creamiest club sandwhich ever and a scrumptious piece of Oreo Cream cake. Highly highly recommend.

    Excellent service, quality southern cooking, clean and fresh! A hidden gem in a town that doesn't even have a Wafflehouse!

    While passing through the area on a Sunday I used Yelp to find a place that would be open for a good country lunch.

    I prefer not driving when it is still dark, so it felt like a small victory to find a coffee shop…read morethat opens early enough to ease into the morning. I arrived at Biggby just before 6am and settled in for a solid two hours, staying warm, enjoying my coffee, and catching up on writing Yelp reviews. It was the kind of slow, steady start that makes the rest of the day feel more manageable. The baristas were a lively bunch, moving with that early‑morning energy that keeps a place humming. They did a great job keeping the coffee flowing as customers cycled through. The drive‑through never seemed to pause for more than a moment, and every so often a few people wandered inside to warm up and grab their drinks. All in all, it was a very pleasant morning, the sort of stop that makes an early start worthwhile. I will happily return to Biggby for their consistently great coffee.

    Somewhat inconvenient location for gas station quality coffee and baked goods…read more Staff was friendly as was the owner. Location is clean but is really lacking on quality ( no fault of the owner or staff because this is a chain ) Baked goods are on par with Sam's club (frozen and defrosted donuts) and no whole milk is available ( which is an obvious cost cutting measure- so this place cares about volume rather than quality. Overall, if you like Parker's or Murphy's coffee - you'll like this place. If you prefer a higher quality drink, I'd give it a pass. Update / Reply to owner comment : Hi Scott, Thanks for taking the time to read my review - I hope you found my suggestion about including whole milk to be helpful, and that it reminded you of my visit when I told you directly that I was disappointed that you didn't have it as an option. I know you meet a lot of people so no hard feelings for attempting to defend your business online or not remembering our direct encounter - because you are actually the person that told me Biggby was a chain. I hope this clears the air of any accusations of me being "scared" of you. I don't feel the need to defend myself about updating typos or posting across platforms - as a business owner I'm sure you understand that your potential customers use a wide variety of means to look up businesses. I stand by my review, and feel that 3 stars is fair for the product you provide. Not refined enough for my tastes but will probably hit the spot for those in the market for budget coffee with interior seating.

I was not entirely sure what a "waffle pop" would turn out to be, but I ended up with two of them in an order, freshly made and topped with one fruit and one sauce of choice. Getting bananas with blueberry sauce was a good choice, one of many I expect. My strawberry matcha with boba was compromised by them running out of strawberry boba, but the regular tapioca balls did just fine soaked in a robustly flavored beverage. Their donut selection was appealing, but I simply did not have room. It would be tough to get out of there without getting a ton of sugar, and this place did not seem to have a ton for the more niche special dietary needs. However, it did have a lot of interesting messaging as a community space, with resources directed towards military families in particular, which moves me to look favorably on the place. And their stuff is delicious.

    My web search for coffee found this place just a couple hundred feet from my hotel, opening in just…read more5 minutes (7:00). So I walked over. It was not at all what I expected in a strip mall near a chain hotel. What a cheerful place, the walls yellow, the windows decorated with big bright suns, the menu boards artfully illustrated, kitchy motivational signs everywhere. I was greeted with a geniality matching the overall vibe by a woman whom it was apparent was the owner. I complimented her on the name "Sunny Summers". She told me it was named after her two daughters. There was a young girl working with her so I asked her if she was Sunny or Summer. She didn't say anything. As it turned out she was neither - just an unrelated employee. I had only come in for a cup of coffee but I saw the donuts and couldn't resist. Many of them were outrageous sugar bombs - and beautiful to look at. But I settled on a more sedate cinnamon-sugar. Glad I did. It was fried to order then dusted with the topping and served not in a bag but in a cute box sized just right for the single. So when I ate it in the car 5 minutes later it was still warm, and fresh as can be. Does she always do this or was it because I arrived just after opening? Unsure, but it was a spectacularly good donut. The coffee, too, was excellent. Strong, no bitterness or sourness, and from a local independent roaster. The other foods mostly fit in the category of sweet indulgences: donuts with crazy toppings, "waffle pops", french toast. A few lunch items like panini. The burger offering was made with pancakes rather than the traditional bun! Now a few words about the proprietor. I was astonished by her outfit that left little to the imagination. At 7 in the morning! It was hard to keep my eyes where they belonged but I managed! (Sorry, I have no photos, for obvious reasons.) I realized later, when I did more research on the place, that this was part of her shtick, playing off her reputation as retired professional wrestler Lacey Evans. Before that she was in the Marine Corps serving in the military police force. An interesting choice of careers for sure. There's a board with prepaid receipts that the less-fortunate can use to get food. That's great. I wish I had known about it when I was there, not later during my research. I would definitely have prepaid a meal. Also, discounts for military and first responders. Not necessarily how I would do things but I know her intentions were good. The world needs more places like this. So a plea to anyone reading this: You may not be able to give up your Dunkin and Starbucks completely, as I have. But just try it for a month, or even a week: next time you need a fix check Google or Yelp for independent coffee shops, try something different, even if you have to go a little out of your way. You may just discover a new favorite hangout.

    Stopped in a little afternoon on a Sunday and while the place was busy everything came out quickly…read moreand perfect. Lots of seating options and we opted for the comfy little couch and chair in the back corner, which was great to just have coffee, a quick sandwich, and chat. There were several holiday specialty flavors to choose from and I went with the gingerbread spiced chai latte, and it was really good. My friend got the Good Tidings (think all the Thanksgiving flavors in one sandwich) special and I had serious jealousy over her food because I just got a simple breakfast sandwich and made the mistake of opting for sourdough instead of the amazing ciabatta it was supposed to come on. Everyone working there was so chill, the place was clean and bright, and super cute. Couple really cool things about this place: Christmas spirit & hospitality. There was they were doing a Christmas card drive for seniors in memory care/assisted living and had an assortment of blank cards and a pen for you to fill out while you drink your coffee and leave right there for them to deliver. Not only was the bathroom, super clean and spacious, but they also had a few essential items (especially for those mommies on the go) available in the bathroom that could just make someone's day if they were in need.

This is not the first time I've had this happen and figured I would give them another try. Previously I arrived during a not so busy time and waited 20 minutes at the register while I was ignored by all the workers there. Do yourself a favor and go to Starbucks if you value your time.
