From what I understand, it has been around for eight years, and I realize now how much I've been missing out. Today, I ordered a 20oz Elvis latte, which has banana and peanut butter flavors. I was pleasantly surprised by the perfect balance between the sweetness and the coffee. Usually, I experience a bitter aftertaste from larger coffee chains, but not here—the coffee was excellent. I also tried a homemade Kahlua coffee cake made by the Mad Batter, which I learned is owned by the owner's mother. The cake was incredibly moist and delicious, with a rich chocolate and Kahlua flavor along with chocolate pieces baked inside. This coffee shop is a hidden gem with reasonable prices and fantastic coffee, run by the sweetest woman. It genuinely made me smile when she wished me a nice day and thanked me for stopping by—it felt like I had just visited my mom for a cup of coffee. I'll definitely be back, so if you're in the area, be sure to check it out!

I've passed by this little coffee shop multiple times without noticing it until I found it on Google Maps. It's a charming, quaint spot with fantastic drink options and delicious baked goods. I tried an iced caramel macchiato, and it was amazing—no aftertaste at all! The caramel is far superior to anything I’ve had at Starbucks or other coffee shops. I also sampled a Kahlúa cake made by the owner's mother, which was incredibly moist and tasty! I highly recommend stopping by for a coffee and a treat!

There are a few outdoor seating options available since dine-in isn't currently an option. The shop has a charming and welcoming vibe, perfect for when dine-in becomes available again. Plus, you can get a great quality coffee to go at a very reasonable price.

I had a vanilla latte alongside a delicious treat from The Mad Hatter. It's a little tucked away in the corner, right next to a barber shop.

The atmosphere is really cool as well as it just feels like a living room. It's the perfect hangout spot. I'm super excited to return and try out more on the menu!
