  Went and grabbed a coffee. A bit too crowded for me but the food looked good from what I gathered from other customers.

  A true hidden gem in Starkville! Food: The food was truly wonderful - perfectly cooked, well paired in flavor and sizeable portions at very fair prices. I was dining with my 11 yr old to celebrate straight A's and wrapping up state tests. We both eat light, so we shared a Good Morning on toast and it was plenty for us. He likes it spicy so he added Siracha to his half (perhaps a bit heavy handed as he later scraped some off!) We ordered the churros and they were so fresh - the perfect texture of soft yet crisp and covered in cinnamon and sugar -- served with a side of dipping sauce. Drinks: I tried both the strawberry mojito and the blackberry mojito and while each were high quality; I would lean towards the blackberry mojito in the future. It was sweet without being overpowering and refreshing. Price: Very fair for what you get! The mojitos were $5 each ($6 for flavored) and I was pleasantly surprised to see a $2 Thursday Drink discount added to each. Atmosphere: We ate on the patio at the high top tables - the chairs are a bit small for wider hips (I wear an 8 and was still slightly uncomfortable on them) but the tables have plenty of space and they have umbrellas their raise to combat the sun. It was very relaxing enjoying the weather. Service: I could not recommend their service more! Ella was our server today and she was very personable and attentive even though they were incredibly busy with MSU graduation traffic. We came in a bit early just after 10:30am and they were nearly full but no wait list yet. Even so; we had ordered, eaten and paid and were back to our vehicle within an hour. Parking: there are a couple of free parking spots beside Arepas and a good amount more pay to park options (first 15 min free; we paid $1.25 for 1 hrs 15 min - you gotta register on the ParkMobile app though). Overall: Definitely a place to visit and more than once! I'm excited to go back and try some more of their menu in the future!

  The food and drinks are objectively really good. Both live up to the hype and Ill give them that. The service is awful. Consistently the worst in Starkville. Regardless if they're empty or busy you will be waiting 45 minutes to more than hour for whatever you order. Its a decent restaurant if you are able and willing to set aside your entire afternoon for it. But with that in mind most everywhere else in the district is a better option with better prices and significantly better service. Wish I could leave a better review but that's the honest truth.
