Coffee is still garbage. Decided to try it again because…read morewe're walking back from the beach. The "regulars" to this place must really NOT know what coffee is. When you order a latte or something similar here, you basically get a "beverage" that's mostly your creamer of choice and an ever so slight hint of coffee. Again... Gas station coffee is better and higher quality than what you get here. All these 2+ star reviews are just liars. Unless this place gets replaced or new owners who KNOW how to make coffee take over, this place is just pointless for coffee.

Next time, I'll try something else. Their tea flight looked interesting but I was short on time.

I noticed this chocolate shop while driving past town on our way to the campground, so we stopped…read moreby to pick up some treats. The 2 year old in our group was delighted by the candy and loved the chocolate covered raspberries. I was interested in the chocolate covered snacks they had - Pringles, potato chips, nuts, etc. - but the one that caught my eye quickest was the chocolate covered nacho cheese Doritos! I've never seen that anywhere else so we definitely had to try them. They were unique and not bad at all. I would've preferred a thinner layer of chocolate, and they were pricey for a small bag, but it was fun to try and gives us something to recreate at home if we want. Some people in our group commented on the customer service being a bit pushy and brusque, but I didn't really notice. The shop itself is packed full of different chocolates, gifts, and other candy and could get a bit crowded. They also serve coffee drinks. There are a couple of small tables inside but it's definitely more of a to-go spot.

The views are so pleasant with lots of outdoor seating. The indoor seating looks nice but we didn't want to miss the views and the great weather. The service was excellent. We loved the appetizers that included golden fried mushrooms and the creative and delicious giant pretzel charcuterie. The burgers were juicy and flavorful and the fish and chips were perfectly crispy, light and tasty. We also enjoyed the sweet potato fries. A highlight of the meals was the creamy mac and cheese and brisket! What a wonderful combo! We enjoyed every aspect of this visit and I look forward to returning!

Manifesting the Perfect Latte (And It Worked)…read more Before I even stepped foot into Live Oak Coffeehouse, I closed my eyes and set my intention. I envisioned the perfect coconut almond milk latte--smooth, rich, subtly sweet, and crafted with care. I felt the warmth of the cup in my hands, the aroma wrapping around me like a cozy hug from the universe itself. I whispered to the cosmos: "Let this latte be everything I desire and more." And guess what? The universe delivered. I entered Live Oak with gratitude in my heart, and the barista--clearly an enlightened being--crafted my drink with the energy of a thousand good vibrations. The first sip? Pure alignment. The flavors danced in harmony, the temperature was just right, and for a moment, I felt like I had truly ascended. The ambiance of this place? Calm, inviting, full of positive frequencies. People chatted, read, worked, all in a state of peaceful flow. You could feel the creativity and good energy buzzing in the air. Some say you can't manifest happiness in a cup, but I'm here to tell you--you absolutely can. If you're ever in Midland, set your intention, walk into Live Oak, and let the magic happen.

Good coffee, friendly staff. Cozy atmosphere to chat with friends or even do some work…read more We were visiting Midland for a niece's graduation. We visited Live Oak Twice during our stay. They have a large selection of coffees that they roast themselves. Unlike a major chain, their coffee doesn't taste like burnt beans. The coffee had a nice flavor, with a strong finish that isn't bitter. Their syrups are also made in house. For the ones we tried, they were delicious. Not sugary sweet, so you can actually decern the various flavors. There was a board with the staff's choices, one being a Cinnamon and Brown Sugar, my partner enjoyed it and it was fantastic when she let me try it. I had both the Caramel Latte and Macchiato. I was pleased with both. Even though we didn't get any, they had a good selection of Gluten Free options. The food is also made in house, meaning that they make these gluten free options on their own. Unlike many other chains and local shops that don't have any Gluten Free options, even if they are resold versions of major brands. That shows a care for those in the community that either for medical reasons or by choice eat Gluten Free. The environment in the shop is warm and inviting. Whether you are having a conversation with friends, reading a book, or trying to work on your laptop you'll find an area for you. The staff was friendlier than what I expect from a coffee shop. Usually they will great you, but they're more about getting your order and moving on to the next customer. The staff here would answer questions and where informative. Surprisingly, many of them were knowledgeable not only about the coffee, but the business itself. Do not sleep on Live Oak Coffee. You'll regret it.

Service was ok 3 out of 5. Ordered extra crispy hash browns and was told we will see? Food was not great. Sausage wasn't cooked, ordered well done patty melt it came medium pink, country fried steak was under cooked and breading was soggy with under cooked center. Ordered fries with the patty melt and got all the ends. Chili was ok, coney style, very sweat and sour type taste to it. Ice tea was good and most of the employees were nice. Overall not great, but it was a cute pace. Wouldn't stop again though.
