Such a cool looking venue. Came in to grab a coffee specialty and pull out my laptop for a quick work email. The staff were nice and it's not a bad place to hang out but the frozen caramel mocha was actually pretty gross. I'm not sure if something got mixed into my order accidentally or one of the ingredients was bad but it was gritty and a little sour for it to be mostly frozen sugar. Was disappointed for the price. read more

Well... my normal coffee spot was closed. So, adventure we went. Got in around 11:30 on Sunday. When we walked in the staff were on their phones and the greeting was underwhelming and rude. The shop stunk, not like coffee either, it smelt moist. Kinda like wet dog minus the dog. All of that aside, I carried on. The staff were rude, with an overall energy that I was by somehow doing them wrong. The menu prices were also wrong, and I was just pointed to look at a sign that was off to the side and not clear either. It only said minimum $0.50 extra on menu items, which the staff blamed on inflation, and I paid an extra $1.50 for my drink. After I got my coffee I couldn't find the sleeves that were hidden behind stuff and the staff were not helpful, other than saying they were there. The coffee is okay, maybe around 3 or 4 stars. However, the service awarrants a never to return. read more

The good. Friendly staff, cozy comfortable setting, decent prices and freshly looking roasted beans. They also have some breakfast pastries and a few other basic items to eat. They also have some neat looking local art. They have plenty of seating and open at 630. The not so good. When I ordered my drink, an iced mocha, I asked that it not be too sweet. Instead it came out tasting like a chocolate shake with a hint of coffee. I still drank it because I wanted my morning caffeine but it was SUPER sugary. I wouldn't order it again. They also seem to be one of the last coffee shops I been at lately that is using styrofoam cups. I had brought my own , but the majority of the people sitting around me had these type. Please make a necessary change to something more sustainable . read more

We were staying at the Hampton next door. Even though the coffee is good there we had to stop and try something from Dakota. We each got a 20oz. fresh roasted coffee $2.49. They roast and sell their own beans so we thought it should be good and it was. It was delicious and had a very good fresh flavor. They also sell their fresh roasted coffee by the bag so we also bought a one pound bag of Columbian $12.95. Can't wait to get home top try it. read more

Every time I come here this place smells amazing and it's always clean. Irene and Sophia are my favorites. They are always so nice and know what I want when I come here. They definitely deliver what customer service is all about because they go Above and beyond when providing me a service that I am paying for. Whether it be $5.00 or more they never fail to execute. Very rare to find those qualities around this small town for sure. Thank you read more

Another weekend here! We got an iced americano and an iced vanilla coffee, and they are bold and smooth yet again. Very courteous staff!

Worst latte Iv ever had. Milkshake was terrible too. Just young girls in there with no idea what there doing. Not trained properly. The vibe in there was boring not at all that coffee shop cafe feeling. Dated. Il never the back. read more

Worst coffee in Dothan by far. Gas station coffee is preferable. If you're looking for coffee, go elsewhere.

It smelled really weird upon walking in, not a good coffee smell, and the first thing I saw was bottles and bottles of Torani syrup on shelves to the right. That immediately turned me off of buying any of their specialty drinks. Realistically, I am certain that many coffee shops use this brand, but I just don't want to see something that I can buy from Walmart when I walk into a coffee shop. I'd rather pretend there is something of better quality being squirted into my drink. So husband and I decided to both go for plain lattes, mine regular, his decaf. While we waited, I checked out their whole bean selection. They have a ton of flavored options, like Pastry Cream and Southern Pecan, if you're into that sort of thing. They also have a decent selection of regular coffee, light to dark roasts. Their beans look the way they should, and their dark roasts (which I prefer) look pretty much ideal. I didn't buy any but would have considered it if I wasn't already well-stocked for the time being. According to their website, the beans are locally roasted. Our drinks were up fairly quickly, and though I really wanted to like Dakota and have a local coffee shop to support, I must be honest - the drinks were not awful, but they were definitely worse than Starbucks' mediocrity. Also, what is with the styrofoam Dixie cups and lids? I know I'm being a snob, but where did I just buy my drink from? A gas station? On the other hand, the inside is cozy enough to make you want to stay for a few and hang out. I always enjoy a worn out old couch in a coffee shop. The service was also very friendly. Will we be back though? No...not to this location at least. I can make a better drink at home. read more

Dakota Coffee Works - Dixie cups and lids...is this a coffee shop or a gas station? - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Dothan, Alabama

Had coffee there before and it was delicious, although the drive thru staff is not the friendliest. Ordered through door dash this morning, a white mocha, cinnamon roll, and blueberry muffin. The cinnamon roll was made yesterday at the earliest, with like no attempt to revive it at all, rock hard, freezing cold and they didn't put any icing on it. The muffin was old and dry, both pastries completely inedible. I am not a picky person and I am not one to leave a negative review. My hopes are that this reaches the owners and they can correct this issue to with pastries because now, more then ever is when they need their customers return business. I'm just baffled. I would like to try them again but I am not willing to spend that kind of money on a potential unpleasant experience again. Should have stuck with Mr.Coffee Bean. read more

Tried every coffee place in enterprise al, by far the best. Decent prices nice helpful staff and great coffee. Atmosphere was comfortable a little small but still clean and kept up. If your looking for a nice little coffee shop around thus is your place read more

I have never been to Dakota before, but went on a whim one day. I ordered a frozen mocha....it tasted like frozen chocolate milk. I wasn't impressed. I decided to give them another try when I took my children there for an after school treat. We took a bit to study the menu before we went to the drive thru window. We ordered ice cream....vanilla....they didn't have that. Then we attempted to order a rainbow shaved ice.....they didn't have that either. No apologies from the lady at the window, she just nonchalantly said "we don't have that". My advice....don't have something on your menu that you don't keep stocked in your establishment! I don't plan to make a third trip. read more

The owner keeping a percentage of his employee tips has been going on for over 10 years, that I know of. I stopped going because of the tip issue and their mochas were hit or miss along with the pastry's were often stale. read more

This coffee shop does not get the recognition it deserves!! They're clean, quick, super yummy and their prices are bomb!! Bonus is they have a drive thru, baked goods, ice cream and their girls are always sweet! I adore Irene and her daughter!! Definitely run through and try out a caramel macchiato or the vanilla chai tea latte!! read more

Great cappuccino and iced coffee. Muffins and cinnamon rolls are fresh baked and yummy. Purchased fresh beans and dark chocolate espresso beans for home. Like how they have decorated their space, comfy, welcoming and very relaxing. ,have other treats, such as ice cream. Would give 5 stars if they gad a protein choice (hint smoothies). Enjoy your cup of joe. read more

I just placed my last order. The quality and service are nonexistent. This used to be a great coffee place. The only that has been consistent my last few orders is that the coffee drinks taste horrible. read more

This coffee shop is a hidden away jewel. By far the best cup of coffee I've had in Enterprise. Far surpasses any other shop in Enterprise that serves coffee. I got a cup of straight up joe. When I asked for a dairy alternative they had three; almond, soy and coconut. A lactose intolerant dream not commonly found around these parts. This coffee was GOOD. The aroma flavor and consistency were on point. It did not taste burnt stale or otherwise mediocre like so many cups of coffee I've had since moving here. Yes, I am a coffee snob. I ordered the 20 oz which lasted me all morning. The employee working was friendly and knowledgeable. My new coffee go-to. read more

I frequent this place often. Baristas are nice and friendly. Coffee is superb and the atmosphere is funky and artsy. The thing I do not like about this coffee shop is the owner/ manager castigates his employees in front of customers. I have been there twice when he has done this and I am not going to return to the shop. The man talks to his employees like dogs says "I've done this for ten years." He may have had reason to criticize his employees but as a customer I don't want to hear it. Afterwards the employees whisper about his actions and what they did wrong and it throws the whole coffee shop vibe off. Avoid this place at all costs of you see an older guy with a beard behind the counter, otherwise it's a great place. read more

The coffee: Not bad. They'll serve it in plastic/paper cup, which I expect in a cheap hotel, but what they put in the cup isn't bad. The Service: Hit and miss. I've been studying here for a couple weeks and there's a cheerful, hardworking, and overall pleasant barista and then there's another that talks on the phone while preparing drinks and invites friends behind the counter so that he/they can have distracting conversations via drive through window with other friends. I could go on, but out of respect for what might simply be Alabama culture, I'll stop. Bottom line is that the employer should know that you have an employee that's cleaning (actually cleaning when not serving) and then another that's leaning. Please recognize your good employee. This is the type of person you want representing your brand. Ambiance: If you still believe the Earth is only 6000 years old, flat, and the center of the universe, you might feel comfortable with the random conversations that occur. Then again, there seemed to be a few academically minded people here, but they were mostly quiet (thankfully). Plenty of seating and comfortable. read more

The best roasted coffee in Dothan, and maybe even the entire state of Alabama (I drink a lot of coffee). Not over-roasted, like Starbucks. A plethora of flavored beans and unflavored selections. read more

Lukewarm coffee, uninterested server. 10/16/14. Still have a snack rack in front of cream/sugar station. Won't be going back.

Really good coffee. I got whatever the barista said was good. I doubt I could pronounce it if I tried. I compare the quality to that of Starbucks but it cost a little less. She was very friendly and helpful. The place was clean and others there were smiling so it was a good atmosphere. The only thing that I noticed to be a little off was the cup it was served in. I expected a branded cup but instead I got a Dixie cup like the ones they sell in bulk down at Winn Dixie. Other than that off Branding foe-par, everything was great. The outdoor seating was also a nice touch. They earned all five of five stars. read more

I go every now and then to Dakota Coffee before work because it's in a convenient location and I commute to Enterprise. It's always a mega hit or a complete miss. I never write reviews, ever, because I am someone who has spent over a decade in the service industry, but today I have to write a review. Giving 3 stars for past service that was speedy and delicious, but 0 stars for my coffee this morning. I ordered a 16 oz Iced White Mocha with almond milk. The girl working handed me my coffee, except it was hot. I gave it back, I apologized for possible lack of communication. The girl rolled her eyes at me, dumped out/threw away coffee and then went back to remake my drink. Another girl handed me a new coffee and was very kind, I apologized once more and she told me it was no big deal. When I pull off and taste my coffee, it was straight almond milk. I'm a cook, I know my tastes, and there wasn't a trace of coffee in that 16oz $6.00 "coffee" I was supposed to receive. I'm assuming it was some sort of trick or prank because they had to remake my coffee, but if not then someone doesn't know how to make coffee. Probably will not be going back to this Dakota because I never know if my coffee is going to be good, bad, or straight up milk. Hate to see it because it's actually a really cool place to study and hang out which Dothan lacks these types of locations. read more

Stopped by here after leaving the hotel before going to a funeral. The environment and service were great and it's just what we needed.

BLUF: this would've been a 3 because it's average but everytime I go here they are always cleaning (floors, windows, glass, tables, inside, outside). The same cannot be said for Panera with a staff of 4-7 and the place is filthy! Coffee and capps are all pretty standard, scones were homemade and delicious. OH, the ice cream was a nice touch for the kiddos. read more

This place has awesome Coffee and a very friendly (and attractive) staff. When I am in town, this is where I go for good coffee. Try the Mocha, no whip cream. Just a caution: I would avoid the sugar-free stuff. They use the same syrup flavorings as all the other Coffee shops and the fake taste lingers like all other Coffee shops. Is not the shops fault (I don't know if there are other brands out there) but that Sugar-free brand of coffee flavoring is horrendous. read more

This is easily my favorite coffee shop. The staff is always kind and attentive, and it's small enough that it feels cozy. Definitely recommend if you need to study or work as it's always on the quieter side! read more

Speed of the service was definitely an issue. There was also no standard on clothing type to be worn. There were three girls behind the counter, one of them had on such short shorts, that her shirt completely covered them up. read more

Lordy do I need some coffee! Looking for a place where I can get a descent cup that doesn't involve golden archers or a weird semi satanic symbol for Seattle. Thank God for Yelp, I found this place, and fed my need for coffee to prepare me for a long day of driving around south east Alabama. read more

Not really a craft coffee place, per se (seems to mostly cater towards the Frappuccino crowd), but great service, location, and amenities (and WiFi)! Might buy some of their coffee beans to see how they fare. read more

I needed to conduct some offsite business meetings and what better place than a cozy coffee shop! I looked their website up to see what they offered as far as food, beverage, and space - lots of coffee and non-coffee drinks, pastries, and ice cream as well as long tables, sofa, cozy chairs, and cafe tables. I couldn't find wifi information on their website or FB page so I reached out and they responded quickly and kindly that they have free open wifi. Perfect! I arrived, posted up at a longer table so my trainees could see the laptop comfortably and placed my order. The coffee was delicious with a nice roast and they provide half and half upon request. I later ordered an everything bagel with cream cheese that was perfectly toasted and cream cheese was at the perfect spreadable yet still cold temperature. My employees enjoyed their beverages and the comfort provided by training at this off-site and cozy location. read more

Decent coffee shop. Also sells ice cream. Seemed like a good place to study, until they started cleaning out the ice cream freezer. Loud obnoxious beating for a very long time. Likely not typical so don't let that persuade you. I drink just regular coffee -- nothing fancy. Theirs was "ok", but priced with Starbucks or Panera. Refills are $1.49. So, much more expensive if you hang out and study. People are friendly and environment is comfortable. Quiet location. read more

The last few times I've stopped here in the mornings, there is only one person working. Kind of a busy place so I would not recommend coming in the morning. It takes 20 minutes to get a coffee. read more

I have been a frequent customer to this establishment via the drive-thru. Today upon inquiring as to the availability of food items it seems the general consensus was that I was asking too many questions. I asked to speak to the owner and was told by him that they were trying to fiqure out what it was going to take to satisfy me. All this without wearing masks. As usual. read more

Everything I have ever tried here is fantastic! The owner grinds the beans himself. Friendly staff, and great owner! Try the Chili, you won't regret it! read more

Awesome coffee place! Wished it was closer to my home, but willing to drive out of the way sometimes for delicious coffee. Only downfalls would be is that their price is a bit more expensive than the other local coffee shop and they do take a long time to make your coffees. Side note, I did come from the Seattle area where there's literally coffee stands/shops on every corner so I'm just used to fast service. read more

Dropped by for morning coffee. Place has a character and a better choice than centrally located bird beens whatever coffee :). I'm glad we dropped by read more

This has always been this best coffee shop in town. Great atmosphere to hangout or study. Love their coffee! My favorite has always been the mocha caramel. read more

When traveling I always look for a local coffee spot on route to support. Dakota was an easy place to pop into to answer some work emails. Walking in was uncomfortable. A gallery of older men were congregated on the left side in the couches and chairs and immediate stopped talking when I walked in and stared. Small town- ok weird- and certainly as a woman, uncomfortable. The staff was friendly, and helpful. My drink was made quickly. I sat down and opened my laptop. The banter quickly ramped up loudly among the men and soon a woman also joined them. For a town with a church on every corner I have never heard so much hateful gossip and outright meanness. I grew up in the south- I know this culture. I put on my headphones to drown it out- debating if I should confront how saddened I was to stop in their little town and hear such loud and nasty talk about others. It felt as if they were holding court and they wanted everyone to hear. I know no one they spoke about, but the fact that they would so publicly speak of anyone's business with such gusto made my heart ache. This is your culture Dakota Coffee- this is what patrons walk into. It is uncomfortable- it made me want to leave- and maybe that's ok with you. I feel bad for your employees because you are losing customers if anyone has felt like me- and they are losing tips. read more
