    Asked for extra sweet, and still got a very bitter iced coffee. And I'm way too shy to ask them to remake it. Went here to study, but even with earbuds in, I could still hear the music, so the atmosphere was not for me. Did not try the food. Felt mildly annoyed.

    Nice place for a quick cup of coffee with friends, with the typical coffee & tee options, comfortable seating, and friendly service.

    I’m very disappointed in the overall price of my drink. I ordered a dirty chai (chai latte with espresso) which looks like it already is a drink (choffee). My total was $9.74. The choffee is about 5.50 for a large, which is what I ordered. I asked for it iced, which apparently is a $1 up charge, along with it to be made with oatmilk, which is another $1 up charge. Unfortunately, I am very allergic to regular milk and cannot consume your standard 2%. It’s very frustrating to be charged extra for something you cannot control. I have no idea what made my drink so expensive and not match the price on the board. :( it was so good tho so I’ll give yall that.

    My boyfriend got me the witches brew latte with soymilk on Saturday morning which I usually love and that was all I had no food and within an hour or two after drinking the entire cup I had to run to the bathroom. It made me so sick and I’ve never had issues from ordering here before. Not sure what happened…
