I've supported this local coffee shop for a long time, back when it was owned by Christiana and run…read moreby truly fabulous employees like Nikki, Justice, and Mariah. During that time, Coffee Dog was reliable, welcoming, and worth recommending. Unfortunately, under new ownership, that is no longer the case. This morning was the final straw. I placed my order and waited over 30 minutes, only to receive absolutely nothing. After my order was taken, I reasonably assumed it was being prepared. Instead, a different employee later came to the window and asked what I had ordered as if no record or communication existed at all. At that point, I asked for a refund. What followed was a frustrating and unnecessary ordeal. The so-called manager came to the window and began explaining how long a sandwich takes to make despite the fact that I did not order a sandwich. The manager clearly did not understand the situation, continued wasting my time, and failed to listen after I had already made it clear that I just wanted a refund since my order was never made. Even processing the refund became a struggle. This is not an isolated incident. On several prior visits, they've been under-supplied, out of basic items, or dealing with non-functioning machines issues that are frankly unacceptable for a business that calls itself a coffee shop. The lack of organization and accountability is astounding. One of our clients regularly purchased gift cards from Coffee Dog for us, but after this experience, I will be telling him not to return. Mr. Hodges, save your money this place is no longer worth it. It's incredibly sad to see how far this business has fallen. I supported Coffee Dog for the longest time, but I am officially done. I will not be returning, and I will not be recommending this place to anyone. Future customers should be aware: this business is not the same under new ownership.

I had the pleasure of stopping by this wonderful coffee house earlier this week, avoiding Mondays…read morewhen they're closed, and I'm so glad I did! After a morning filled with calls, I asked Melody, the manager, for their strongest cold brew, and she generously hooked me up with a potent cup of liquid energy masquerading as coffee!! Since then, I've become a loyal regular, drawn back time and again by the magic of this hidden gem. I adore this charming little spot, with its inviting atmosphere that's perfect for lingering over a cup or simply soaking up the laid-back vibe. Fellow coffee lovers, you're in for a treat! The coffee is exceptional, and the sandwiches look absolutely divine. If you get a chance to swing by and sample their expertly crafted hot or cold brews, I highly recommend it - you'll be uplifted and inspired!!

Rosen's has come a long way in a short time. They've quickly taken hold as the front runner in…read morelocal cafes and grocery stores, with multiple outposts for direct purchase, too. If it wasn't enough to get a dozen delivered straight to your door, they now have three (soon to be four) brick-and-mortar locations that are perpetually buzzing with hungry carbivores. Founder Tom Rosen has a simple formula for success, and is simply doing it right. The dough goes through a 48 hour fermenting and rising process to develop complex flavors, enhanced by the traditional addition of subtly sweet malt powder. Best of all, the everything bagels are double-seeded, tossed in the signature seasoning mixture on both sides to ensure no bald spots. Top and bottom halves are full coated for a serious flavor punch.

The cashier said it was their busiest time. We lucked into finding a table to enjoy our food. It is like a busy deli in NYC. The Reuben was fantastic. My wife got the cheesesteak. They grill the meat and make the sandwiches right in front of you so they are hot and fresh. My wife's cheesesteak was ok. Seemed kind of dry and didn't have any peppers and not too many onions. Maybe that's the NYC way and not Philly. Anyway I love the place. We will definitely be back to try their bagels and other sandwiches. Oh yeah. I also got a Dublin soda. It's a craft soda (Coke) made with pure cane sugar. Goood.

They're the first local bagel to grace my table since they're available at Wheatsville a la carte for mere pocket change. These plump rings sport an elegantly lacquered finish with a topping that tends to skew heavier on sesame seeds, enhancing the nutty, toasted flavor. Maybe that's why I find them more compelling once split and toasted than simply warmed. Bulk bin grocery store bagels have questionable quality, even if they're locally made, so always go to their walk-up window for the best, freshest batches.

I got a rosemary salt bagel with strawberry cream cheese, and it was all delicious, but there was WAY too much cream cheese. It was falling out of the bagel en-masse. Have a selection of coffee as well

Pricing was a little steep for me- $18 for two coffees was a little surprising- but the quality was there so it will have to be an occasional treat to look forward to! I don't get coffee out very often anyways. The owner (I assume she was the owner) was sooo helpful, she helped talk me through the options and was patient with it being my first visit. I didn't know the drill on how everything worked. Super cute shop, love that it's connected to some kids activities- I'll have to look into signing my sons up for jiu jitsu or play in the kids space.

He bakes all his own bread (brioche, biscuits), smokes his mushrooms, ferments his pickles, etc. We had the breakfast hash bowl, OG biscuit sandwich, and basic breakfast sandwich on brioche.

Then a couple months ago I realized that The DUNKIN DONUTS drive through was open!! (I guess they had been open throughout 2020 but I didn't get out much.) The Dunkin Donuts iced coffee is SO very good! And the crew always makes it just how I like it Even though I usually go in the late afternoon, they are very patient in telling me which donuts or pastries they've still got. I can't believe I was paying those other guys so much money for their precious burnt espresso drinks and overpriced pastries--when I can get an EXCELLENT Dunkin Donuts iced coffee and a donut for less than the price of an iced coffee at that Seattle chain. Oh yeah, and the Dunkin folks who work the late afternoon drive-through are fantastic! They always make my long drive home from Bastrop SO MUCH better! Thanks DD gang!
