Poet's South - Cookeville

I travel all across the US, this is still my favorite coffee shop.

Decided to give this place a try for breakfast... definitely not going back. Ordered a bagel sandwich with bacon and avocado, and a croissant sandwich with bacon and avocado. Received no bacon or avocado on either, and both were bagels. The quality and taste of the everything bagel was very lacking, the everything toppings on the bagel were sparse and the texture felt kind of stale or tough to chew through. The egg and cream cheese were good. Whole order was disappointing at best. Didn 't try any coffee.

Got coffee while mom was in the dentist. Cute place. I got the Hayride, tasty. Not too sweet. Friendly.

The lady at the counter was nice. The barista made the wrong drink and then got a snotty little attitude when I pointed it out and apparently had stepped one foot over an imaginary line at the counter to get his attention. Would have been totally fine if he'd just corrected his mistake, but not paying attention unnecessary attitude not worth it. Get over yourself, it's just (mediocre) coffee.

First visit at Poets and I loved it! It’s so cozy! I love the little dinosaurs on the window sills! The service was great, the employees were very kind and helpful. I got the bourbon caramel drink, can’t remember the name, but it was amazing. Shoutout to the barista that made it and and the cashier who suggested it cold. They also suggested a sandwich called the Hobbs. Stop. It was so good. First time in a long time I’ve actually finished my coffee and food from a cafe. I usually throw it away halfway through. But not this time! Can’t wait to come again :
