"We have always been curious about this place, but it has never been open when we go by (usually around 7 to 8am or so on weekdays - that is even pretty late for a coffee shop). Now I know why. No coffee menu posted, no prices, seemed quite annoyed when I asked if they had oat milk (I’m lactose intolerant, so alternate milk is important). When the coffee was ready, I didn’t get a price until my card was already run, and there were no markings on my two coffees as to which was the oat milk latte and which wasn’t. I can totally understand not wanting to chat people up while focusing on making coffee, but I did end up mentioning to her as she was trying to rush me along that I have never seen hours posted and I was curious when they are open. She literally said “We open whenever I get here. We don’t have set hours.” My face must have been just in shock as I drove away. I have never heard of someone just showing up “whenever” and being open however long they feel like it. Must be nice??? When I got home (about a 3 minute drive) the coffees were way too scalding hot, zero foam on either “latte,” and mine tastes horrid. 0/10. Would not recommend."

"This is the third time that I drove out to this coffee stand and it was closed despite their hours on Google saying they’re open. They don’t even have an hours sign posted on their window. If they are going to be closed randomly through the week, they really need to update their hours on google. It’s so frustrating driving all the way out there just for them to be closed… leaving me no time to get coffee somewhere else without being late for work. I stopped by at 8 AM on a Thursday which I think is normal for a coffee shop to be open?"

"I don't remember the young lady's name. But she was polite, friendly and professional! I ordered a coffee for my wife and that's all I was going to get. Then at the last minute I changed my mind and got a coffee for myself as well. The barista was completely understanding and friendly! I will definitely be a returning customer!"

"The staff member I see there most often has been rude everytime I’ve purchased coffee from her. Most people in my company won’t come here for that reason, despite the convenient location of the stand. The brunette girl who I assume is the owner, just has a nasty disposition. I usually love supporting small businesses but everyone at my job always talks about how they wish there were other options. You’d spend less money at Starbucks and get better service. Bad service, high prices and inconsistent hours. Every time I go to this place against my better judgment, I regret it"
