It was a great cup of coffee so I decided I needed to stop by the store myself. I got a cup of the Cuban Latte, it was delicious, . My problem though is, this is primarily a coffee roaster operation with limited seating for customers that might want to drink their coffee at the store. It doesn't work for me, I want the store so I can sit, relax and enjoy the total experience.

As I've visited coffee shops around town, my focus has strictly been on the coffee. As so many of…read morethe shops outsource their limited menu offerings, I kept my focus on the coffee experience. Livingstone is within a comfortable walking distance to my home, and when one of my neighbors offered as we were drinking our coffee at Mad Priest, that I must try their food here at Livingstone, today I decided to do just that. We started simply enough, with the lavender Lemon Scone, absolutely delicious! Then I decided to take a closer look at the menu and was blown away by the food offerings available, they are doing some magical things in that little kitchen in the back. If you're looking for some ideas, talk to the staff, they're happy to be of assistance. It's a cute little spot, but their best feature this time of year might be their little courtyard out back. I just wish there was an easier way to access it other than walking back out to the street and then circling around back.

I did find that when there is a line, I have to wait until I get all the way to the window to see the full menu. I think it might help if they had the menu a little before pulling up all the way to the window.

While there is a time and a place for Starbucks, it is so nice to have shops that feel no need to be an imitator, blazing their own trail. This morning I'm visiting Culture Coffee, enjoying the special recipe "Scooter". I prefer for the coffee to be the star and for the flavor enhancement, in this case caramel, to be the subtle enhancement. After a brief friendly conversation with the barista, I settled in to enjoy my coffee and do a little work. This is how life should be.

On September 25, I visited Lola Beans and paid for my order using Apple Pay. The transaction…read moreinitially appeared to go through successfully. Afterward, an employee/manager came back and told me that the transaction was only pending and asked whether I still wanted my drink. I explained that I was willing to pay for my order, so I used Apple Pay again with the same card/account, and the second transaction went through successfully. What bothered me was the way the situation was communicated to me. I was told, "We can't give nothing for free because it's still pending." I never asked for anything for free, nor did I suggest that I wasn't going to pay. I had already attempted to pay for my order, and when I was told there was an issue with the first transaction, I immediately paid again.I am now being told that I have to wait for the original pending transaction to return to my account. This means I currently have two transactions associated with the same order, with one still pending. Even after this interaction, I still left a tip because I was not trying to avoid paying for my order. I simply wanted to receive what I had paid for without being made to feel as though I was asking for something for free. I understand that pending card transactions can happen and that the business may need to verify payment. However, I feel the situation could have been handled much more respectfully. The statement about not giving me anything for free was unnecessary because I never requested anything for free. I would appreciate clarification regarding the pending transaction and confirmation that I will not ultimately be charged twice for the same order.

Vibey little coffee shop! We stopped in after eating a meal just down the street. We were on a road…read moretrip so wanted a little pick me up before getting back in the car. My husband enjoyed a black Americano and I enjoyed my Tumeric latte + espresso shot. My drink was so good my husband actually ordered one for himself for the ride. I personally think this should be a more popular fall drink than pumpkin spice but what do I know ha! Inside had a handful of tables and a comfy corner with a couch and table with conversation books. They also have a nice little back patio that's shaded to enjoy your drinks outside. I saw several people coming and going from a small gate outback for an easy back entrance too.

I got my signature iced oat latte and a blueberry white chocolate scone which was huge and only like $4! Prices very fair and they're not killing you on the alternative milks. Really charming inside and they have some sandwiches and other foods and nice places to work and sit and get comfy if you have time. Parking was a bit challenging with only about 4 spots in the back lot and no real street parking unless you pay to park which, I wasn't gonna do for a 3-minute to go coffee. Highly recommend if you're in town or driving through like me.

Updated Review: Attention Yelpers. Doesn't seem worth explaining but for the uninitiated from a…read morelarger metro area, a needed heads up. Kind of obvious but maybe needs to be said. This is rural Tennessee. Freight trains, are frequent as the mountain mist. Prosperity, polish and pretentiousness entertained elsewhere, are not hosted here. The economic situation painted in a small town such as this that has been crushed economically as industries ebb and change, represents those who have sacrificed much. Evidences of sagging retail architecture edifices abound. Or as David Rose from Canadian TV might say, "look like a sad bag of potting soil." Feel free to disagree. The good: The coffee roasting and flavor @ Harmony House are way up from 5 years ago. I'm now ordering by mail from HH, Costa Rican and Ethiopian coffee. Have two fans in H town who fell in love with John's coffee roasting. I hope he considers to start selling coffee online. Carefronting Part One: FYI this establishment does accept credit cards. That is what I used to make purchases. Although throughout the town, cash is king as many small towns, unique locals or small businesses across the country (USA) are. I.e. Martha's Vineyard (Island) in Massachusetts. This is life: Artisan coffee roaster jovial, quick to laugh at his own jokes but honest and desiring to serve his community. He's genuine, focused on the best cuppa, perplexed by those who don't appreciate his passion for coffee. One of his faults. I'm probably as acerbic and moody. (Don't answer that.) The current building owner is woefully not interested in updating the property. That's unfortunate and also out of the HH proprietors hands. Interior seating updates however are on the way. And perhaps luring breakfast menu items beyond scones. We shall see. Meanwhile, if you are longing for pretty good coffee, this is a place I would pull off the interstate for. No Starbucks for miles. Confession, I packed my suitcase with 5 bags of coffee. And I'll probably be ordering soon. To mix metaphors it's not everyone's cup of tea. If you want more vibe and vitality with interiors to caffeinate, go for it. But don't shame a small town for not living up to a standardized platform. Meanwhile I'll keep ordering coffee from here. And the hot tea here is just as delicious. 5 stars for the caffeinating quality & options 3 for interiors 5 for staying power in a teeny, tiny small town My two cents: John, If given the go ahead, I'd put in new wood laminate flooring, a wall sized chalkboard / art wall and a funky lighting fixture w Edison bulbs and especially include a long community table, made from a local tree heavily lacquered festooned w bar stools.) Yep. In sum: Rolling green Mountain View's at one end of the street, clouds lingering over the mountain, and a bubbling fountain & mini park w covered picnic tables in the HH parking lot. Library & Post Office a few steps away. Not much to look in this town in ways of glitter and glam. (Although once famous for the Scopes Monkey trial) Yep. This is life in the slow, slow lane with good to great coffee. Bottoms up.

He took the time to ask us what we were using the beans for (lattes) and recommended his espresso roast.

We've been enjoying his beans at home for a week now and my husband and I both think they are by far the best beans we've ever used. My only regret is that we only bought one bag, going to have to look into getting more shipped to us ASAP :) Shop was spacious, maybe more dated than you'd see in a bigger city but the population of Dayton is only about 7,000, enjoy the small town vibes.
