    Coffee is good, I do enjoy a good cup of coffee. Don't care for pastries. Lack flavor. Sweet is not a flavor.

    The coffees are overwhelming sweet and have little to no flavor. Baked good leave a lot to be desired, will never go back.

I've never written a review before, but I'm lead to share my thoughts, from my own experiences, my friends and family, and the general agreement around town because frankly, I've never heard a good word said about this place. As a loyal Starbucks customer, I frequently visit and spend a significant amount of money at Starbucks which is not cheap. However, my experiences at this particular store have consistently been negative. My usual order is an iced triple blonde espresso with customizations, including a specific amount of 2% milk and flavoring. While I understand that customized drinks may not always fill the cup to the top, the drinks I receive at the Ripley Starbucks are often significantly underfilled compared to other locations where the same order is placed and filled to the top or close to the top. As to the customer service at this store is consistently poor. On one occasion, when I politely requested a small amount of additional milk and offered to even pay for it if needed, an employee was incredibly rude, basically throwing the drink in my hand and slamming the window in my face and walking away. This behavior should be unacceptable and reflects a bad look for Starbucks. Like I said, it's not only the workers attitudes that's a problem when I order in person, through the drive-through, or mobile order doesn't matter. My drinks are always wrong or missing things I pay extra money for. Like added toppings or caramel drizzle or lining the cup with caramel that I pay for is never added. The drink is already expensive enough without them always forgetting to add the things I pay for. And When I politely ask for these items to be added, the staff responds with unnecessary attitude, making me feel like a burden for requesting what I paid for. The Ripley management needs to consider replacing/training or just hiring people who are not only skilled in making drinks correctly and know how to read a ticket but making drinks consistent while keeping a friendly attitude. On a positive note, I recall a tall guy with brown curly hair and glasses. I don't know his name but He is always super nice, and he is very quick at his job and makes good delicious drinks while being fast. He always makes the experience good making you wanna come back. He's just always very friendly and easy to talk to. Also one of the other baristas brown hair usually pulled back in a ponytail with pieces down in the front, I don't know her name either but I haven't seen her in there in a while but she writes such lovely messages on my cups and always made my drinks just right. I haven't seen her in there in a while like I said. It's upsetting. She was quiet but always very friendly and always looked very happy to be there and always smiling. Very good customer service. It made for a positive experience also making you wanna come back. You need more employees like this. I hope you take these concerns seriously and take action I'm not the only one who thinks like this. I've heard a lot of people say things like this and I'm just bringing it to you guys to hopefully to get something done about these issues. So the Ripley location standards can be better.

    We were one of two cars in the lot, so we figured we'd have a quick dinner and be on our way…read more And order of tenders/fries, a standard breakfast (eggs/bacon/biscuits), and a half sandwich/soup. When the breakfast was ordered, the server left before it could be specified. My wife had to catch her to tell her scrambled eggs. She started to walk away again, my wife stopped her to tell her bacon. Off she went, my wife had to stop her and tell her biscuits. It seems that if you order breakfast without swiftly specifying, you'll get over easy eggs, bacon, and yet to be determined bread option. It took a very long time, and we learned that they had two new cooks. No problem, it's going to take longer. Cool. Waitress kept our drinks filled, was friendly, explained things. No problem. Food arrives, my daughter's tenders and fries arrived. Only 2 of three tenders. Seriously overcooked tenders. My daughter ate one and left the other. My wife only has her scrambled eggs and bacon. We learn then that they were out of biscuits and they just started them. It would be twenty minutes. My sandwich and soup were great, no complaints. Overall, we were there for well over an hour and received only a portion of what we ordered, some of it burnt beyond being edible. I thought it would be reasonable to get a discount. Server couldn't help, which I understand, but she got the manager. The manager offered 10% off. The lack of customer service skills displayed by the manager was absolutely wild. BTW, this was the first time I have ever asked to be comped in my life and it was miserable. Strongly suggest bypassing this location. We'll continue to frequent other Bob Evans locations as it's a favorite.

    Yesterday, I needed to run to Athens from Ripley WV for an errand and my son said HEY since we…read morehave a little extra time, can we try McHappys Bake Shoppe? I said "Of Course!!" Thinking to myself, what woman is gonna turn down Donuts??? My 2yr old grandbaby starts chanting Donuts Donuts with her Uncle...40 yr old Uncle We get to McHappys which is very easy to locate, thanks to the signage for directions. Its a cute little brown building with a very eye-pleasing Logo Sign. We go inside (tiny parking lot also) but they do offer a drive-thru! Calliope my 2yr old, her eyes get wide and glassy as her Uncle takes her closer to the showcase. The employee was super friendly! My immediate thought was, this room is bright cheery and smells like Bakery Heaven...I could live here!! I tell her we want 6 Donuts and Calliope chooses first a Cake Donut with Pink Strawberry Icing with Pink & White Sprinkles, I choose 2 Glazed and A chocolate Nut Icing Glazed for my Hubby and my son Chooses a Glaze and for his 2nd a Blueberry Cake Glazed Donut! I was tempted to get a few cookies, whooping Pies and Cupcakes because everything looked so yummy and festive! But I did choose a Canoli and a piece of Baklava! In total it was $19.02 and I left her a tip of $3 in her tip glass! I definitely recommend if you are in the Athens area to swing by. Its located beside Taco John's which we plan on trying next time we are in Athens, Ohio. Thanks for the Yummy Treats McHappys we definitely left very MCHAPPY!!!

    We were visiting the area for Thanksgiving - this one popped up with some good reviews…read more The building is unassuming, but the inside is cute! Place is bright and clean. The lady working had wonderful customer service. She was very helpful and cheerful when she found out we are new to this shop. We went home with half dozen, muffin and a canoli. She said everything is baked from their bakery and shipped to store. Their donuts are good, fluffy and moist.. all providing a mouth feel and not...dry and sad like a lot of places. My husband loved the canoli. I would highly recommend! Limited variety compared to some, but they are good with that they do have!
