Coffee is made to order to your liking. The shop is friendly and relaxed. Seating towards the back to huddle up in. I ordered an Dark Roast Iced Coffee with Sugar-free vanilla and almond milk. It didn't miss the mark. Grumpy Troll also seemed to be a friendly place to stop of your a waffle fan. We didn't try any food, but definitely had a fresh waffle smell. Amazing.

Good selection of drinks with food coming soon. I do wish they would offer ceramics. That would elevate the experience. For now, I will bring my own. I had a lavender latte and I was impressed. Good latte art, a little too much foam but creamy, good flavours, and a lovely subtle taste of lavender. Peach coconut lotus, not too sweet, which is perfect for me. I recommend the blueberry lemon roll--fat blueberries baked into a soft roll with lemon and cream cheese frosting drizzled overtop. Owned by sisters. They are friendly and easy to talk with. They offer 10% off to Union students(think I'm saying that correctly?). They seem to know their stuff. I am going to be coming here often.

If you are looking for great cat themed gifts or souvenirs you may not find it here, but they have lots of dog themed items. Since the name starts with Mad Dogs, you may think there are also dogs on the premises, but you would be wrong. But in all fairness, my daughter and I really enjoyed our time with the kitties. Although there are toys available to play with the cats, the laser pointer toy which we supplied, was the hit of the day. There were lots of really calm, huggable kitties, with a few little spitfires included to keep the humans and rambunctious kitties in line. I would probably go back again but not too often, considering that I own cats and the cost to see theirs is prohibitive.

So just know that both the grocery and body portions of the store are also small. The location is right off the street but looks a bit like a house. There is a clear sign designed with trees and hearts but keep an eye out. Parking is a gravel lot in the back. The grocery section has a bank of bins, freezer section, tea and coffee, and two rows of jars/cans/boxes. The body side has all kinds of supliments, shower products, and oils. I like that you can cut bar of soap from a much larger hunk. They sell Burt's Bees here. The staff is always helpful and nice. I dont remember the prices being too expensive. It smells like patchouli inside. I remember there being a studio behind the store for yoga and tai chi classes but you'll have to check that out yourself. There is a restaurant that is loosely connected next door on the same vein.

What a fun place! I was looking for a coffee pick-me-up in what felt like the middle of nowhere and…read morefound this coffee shop on Yelp. I'm always up for a coffee shop adventure, so I drove over--and wow, was I in for a fun surprise! Kava Culture isn't your typical coffee shop--it's a whole new take on drinks and hangouts. I was greeted right away by the friendly barista (bartender?), and when I mentioned it was my first time, she immediately launched into sharing the vision behind Kava Culture. The menu features plant-based, health-conscious, alcohol-free drinks, teas, and coffees. She patiently explained the health benefits of each tea option, which I really appreciated. The first "bula" is on the house--a ceremonial tea drink served in a coconut bowl. It was surprisingly creamy with a little tingly after-effect that warmed my tongue. The barista even took the tea shot with me after a shared toast to good health and a cheerful "Bula!" Such a thoughtful way to welcome guests and make the experience feel personal. I ordered the cold brew coffee with added kava, which is said to help stabilize blood sugar and reduce stomach upset. All the creamer options are plant-based, so I went with macadamia nut milk, sweetened with a bit of maple syrup. The coffee itself was delicious--smooth, rich, and refreshing. But then came the sticker shock: my 16oz coffee rang up to $12 before tip. That's more than I've ever paid for a coffee in my life--and I've had some pretty epic brews in Vienna, Florence, Budapest, San Francisco, and NYC. I guess you're paying for both the premium ingredients and the one-of-a-kind experience. Despite the price, I'd definitely come back--if only to introduce my family and friends to the vibe and kava drinks. The shop is open 8am to midnight, and I love their vision of offering the community a sober alternative to the bar scene. There's a lot to love about Kava Culture, and I'm glad I found it.

I do not drink beer, but he does. My first experience at Aeonian was being told they don't have ice and that my water would be lukewarm tap water. That did not go over well. Since that visit, they do have ice which is awesome. On two of my visits, I have ordered different salads. The salads themselves are huge, but the protein on top was not. On my latest visit, I ordered the chicken tenders on top of my salad. It came out with literally what I would say is a single chicken tender. It was honestly ridiculous for a $5 up charge. My family has raved about the fries and burgers though. The service is average. The servers have always been kind, but not always super attentive. The brewery is family friendly and very clean. All of that to say, try it for yourself. We clearly have differing opinions in our house and you may find you enjoy it.

Located close to the location of a large meeting I was part of, I was easily able to pick up 2 dozen donuts on the morning of my meeting. The extremely nice woman behind the counter hooked me up with two boxes of assorted heaven. As an avid donut eater and a bit of a connoisseur of mans most delightful creation, DDandC nailed it. Fresh, good ingredients and a lot to choose from. The two dozen doughnuts that I brought in to my meeting were essentially demolished. As I was not local, the people who were local were extremely interested in knowing where I picked them up and I happily told them. A few had even mentioned being there before and some even planning to go. would I go back? 100%. Whenever possible, I bring a box or two of doughnuts to customers. When I do, I make it count and the people notice. When they see that I've actually searched out for a really good local doughnut shop, they appreciate that and take note. I'm not bringing in your fast-food donut places garbage "donuts" either. I'd rather bring nothing at all if I can't get the goods. And I will travel early in the morning, just to get high quality doughnuts. Got get some of these right now!
