I buy a coffee everyday before work, usually Starbucks, but I work next to this place and decided to give it a try on one of my breaks, and I'm SO GLAD I did, the coffee is so much stronger and better tasting, I actually prefer it now. It's not only better tasting but it's cheaper too, I normally spend around 8-10 per drink at most other coffee places, but I spend $6 on my new favorite here, a large blended sweet cheeks with caramel drizzle. The girls are nice and get the orders out pretty quickly.

The service is good and the ladies are nice but the real reason we come here is for the coffee, and it is good. I like strong coffee and for that I give 4 stars, you can taste the coffee behind all the sugar and additions but it isn't the focal point of the cup. The balance is good, not too sweet not too bitter but it lacks that 5 star punch in my opinion. Overall the drinks are definitely worth the price and the fact none of the workers there were snobby to us unlike other places where the baristas think they are God's gift to us.

I've had the Sweet Senorita and the Sexy Latina. The Sexy Latina is really good. Only for those that love cinnamon. The few times I've been, the women are very nice. I've also had the breakfast burrito. While it wasn't bad, it was just a microwave, frozen burrito. So I can't recommend the food, but the drinks are good. My wife also enjoys the Red Bull drinks.

Coffee and Smoothie, daughter recommended going when debating on visiting another coffee house in the area. I ordered a recommendation by the barista, iced vanilla latte that was amazing, still tasted like coffee, not milk or sugar like other competitors. Daughter’s smoothie smashed on competition smoothie locations. No joke this place rocks, also I’m a first time visitor, no lie.
