Fun busy corner coffee and treat spot, plenty of parking, some fun restaurants right next door that looked popular with lots of traffic bustling in and out as I tried to find a way into the Five Lakes parking lot, I ended up parking right next door tempting myself to get some Mexican too. The atmosphere is bright and casual. Displays present all sorts of familiar sugar options. Menu gives very basic predictable Starbucks and Dunkin style drinks. I felt basic and did a caramel vanilla latte. Staff was friendly and quickly brought out the Java. Good votes for clean bathrooms here too, outlets right at the tables, and possibly some of the best music playlists any study and work vibes could order. Have to note those excellent items before throwing down on the espresso, it tasted absolutely diabetic. So sweet my teeth about hurt, I cannot fathom any decent caffeine connoisseur wanting to finish a latte like this. Sure the vanilla and caramel combo speaks of a sweeter pallet but I've had plenty to know the espresso will still shine through and balance out syrup with bitter. Nothing of a sort here, I had to save half for the next day. Not even sure there was real espresso in my latte, didn't taste coffee at all, I suppose this place is for those who do not like coffee but want to pretend they do.

Unfortunately I didn't think the coffee was very good. It was rather weak and had a weird taste to it. On the positive side, the place is never very busy so you can get in and out quickly and the employees are nice.

Nice place, though a few employees seemed slightly rude and didn't honor my free coffee from my card. Most of the time they are extremely friendly and I enjoy going out of my way to visit. Very good latte's!

Awesome experience going here with my wife. This is superior to any other coffee chain in town. The taste of this coffee is incredible! It's definitely worth checking out if you're over the other coffee places and want something that doesn't taste like dirt that'll make ya grow hair on your chest!

Very disappointing visit today! It is usually good. We visit often but today was a different experience. We ordered food and beverages to dine in without issue. After taking a couple of bites of our sandwiches we were abruptly kicked out of the dining room by one of the staff members. We were told they we had to leave because a team member just called in sick. We kindly asked if we could at least finish our food since they served it to us already. The employee responded and said no. It was very ridiculous how they handled the situation, especially since they still had three people working and they were not very busy. I wish I could go back and recover my 50% tip that I left in the tip bucket when we placed our order. The staff did not earn it today. After this experience I am not sure if I will go back.

Usually I would give this place 5-stars all around. It’s the only place my wife and friends get our coffee both through the drive thru and inside.But today was a different story. Four of us came to drink coffee and have breakfast (love there sandwiches). We ordered our coffee and sandwiches and sat down to drink and eat. Approximately 5 minutes after we sat down we were told we had to leave that they were closing the lobby because someone called in. There were three people working but apparently the 4th person cleans the lobby. We sat there and quickly ate our sandwiches and were told a second time we had to leave.My question is why were we not told this when we ordered? Why could we not finish our coffee then leave? If this would have been my first experience I would never go back. It’s a good thing they have good coffee or I would not go back now.Overall I like this place and the staff. Today seemed very unprofessional.
