Since my drink—a 16 oz latte—is quite standard and prices tend to be similar at most coffee stands, I didn't think much of it. However, my total for a basic latte, with no extra shots, came to $5.25, which is more expensive than Starbucks just a little further down the road. Unfortunately, the drink itself wasn't great either. The next time I'm in the area and craving coffee, I'll definitely head to Starbucks or another place instead. I should have trusted my instincts and avoided a stand with unclear pricing.

When I pulled up to the open window, I noticed the girl sitting on the counter, her back to me, chatting with another barista. I waited for about 20 seconds before she finally turned around to acknowledge me, but by then, I had already driven away. I was really disappointed because it's a convenient stop on my way to work, but I won't be coming back. The first impression was just not good...

I was thrilled to discover that they partner with Dillanos, a brand I always look for in my coffee shops. The coffee here was incredibly smooth. I ordered a swirl mocha—though it might be called a twisted mocha; I can't quite recall—but it featured both white and dark chocolate, and it was delicious. The staff was very friendly, and I can’t wait to come back again. P.S. The Three Little Coffee Beans garnish is a delightful touch!

The staff genuinely engages with customers and remembers their names! They’re always cheerful, even at 5 in the morning! I take pride in supporting a business from my hometown. Food: 5/5

Barista went out of her way to be friendly and conversational while still being quick. Good customer service makes a huge difference when espresso is on every corner, I would go out of my way to visit this stand.
