    Iced coffee is delicious. I also had one of their egg and spinach sandwiches. Great taste!

    Consider one of the many tea selections. Swedish Berries and Japanese Cherry make great iced teas. In the winter, I like hot Genmaicha Green or Vanilla Ceylon.

    Similar to Starbucks in that it's quick service and accessible espresso.

    The door says push. You need to push the door to get in. When you leave, try the pull option. Works a charm.

    If you have to get a cup of coffee from a big corporation, get it here. You will love kind, smily faces.

    If you take a picture of the out side the people there get attitude. Plus the hot latte was cold.

    There are about 15 people working in the morning, so the drive-thru line actually goes pretty quickly!

    Don't expect quick service if a guy named Earl is working! He thinks everyone in line is his best friend & chats for 5 minutes before taking an order! He also screams orders to people 2 feet away!!!

    Go inside when the drive-thru line is too long. It'll save you about 15 minutes.

    If you're on the go and/or too lazy to get out of the car then this is a place for you. Decent espresso at best though...

    Drive thru is a hit or miss. You quite often get drinks quicker by going inside

    They just renovated the outside, and took the railings off. It looks pretty spacious now. Cool.
