Not a fan of cold coffee until yesterday! Got a shaken espresso with their trade mark brand . Not sweet just right. And the pretzel spinach feta was just the right amount

Asked for a cold brew coffee instead got a hot brewed coffee with ice. Dumped nearly full cup in trash on way out and went elsewhere.

Great little coffee, juice, and small bites shop close to the University of South Carolina. We picked up a caramel latte and raspberry tea which both hit the spot in our bellies and wallets. Stop by get a break from the heat and enjoy a refreshing cup and snack.
