It kind of tasted like burned sunflower seeds. The cappuccino was also underwhelming, with poor milk texture and an overall unpleasant flavor. I was especially surprised to see an automatic espresso machine being used at a specialty coffee roastery, as I expected a little more attention to the espresso preparation. No soap dispenser in the bathroom or any sign of soap at all was also concerning.

Instead, it ended up being one of the more disappointing bakery experiences I've had. We walked in to a display case that was almost empty and a line that felt more like a suggestion than anything organized. After waiting longer than expected, I ordered a French cake donut--what I received was surprisingly small, closer to a sample than something you'd expect to pay for. The service, though, was the real standout--and not in a good way. The employee helping us seemed clearly annoyed from the start. Basic, reasonable requests were met with visible irritation, and the overall attitude made it feel like we were inconveniencing them just by being there. That kind of interaction sticks with you more than the food does. What really added to the confusion was noticing trays of fresh, better-looking donuts behind the counter as we were leaving--none of which were available or mentioned while ordering. Yes, the prices are lower than other places, but the portions reflect that, and the service makes it hard to justify even a quick stop. I can understand people having fond memories of this place, but based on this visit, it doesn't hold up.

I guess there are multiple rooms here, one part is a restaurant and then there is a bakery. I only was in the bakery. They have a lot to choose from. Some stuff is sitting on the counter in the open which was odd and at one point I thought maybe they were samples but they were full sized items so I think they were for sale. Anyway I decided to order a few items. I ordered some kind of brownie. I think it was called the all good bar. It's a brownie with walnuts in it, then a peanut butter layer on top of it and a layer of chocolate ganache on top of that. It's a buckeye in brownie form and it's amazing. It could easily go into the way too sweet territory but it doesn't. It's perfect. One or two bites satisfies a sweet tooth. So I took a few bites over 2-3 days. I wish I had more. I also ordered I think it was called a basket. It was pastry puff dough in a rectangle with cream cheese in the center and very thin slices of apple on top. I brought that home and heated it up in our airfryer for 3-4 minutes and let me tell you it was one of the best things I've eaten all year. And I've had some really delicious food this year. I wanted to cry. It was that good. Unbelievable. I wanted to scarf it down and also take my time because I didn't want to not have it. The last thing I bought was a two pack of their iced shortbread cookies. They were right by the register and maybe on sale and I figured why not. These took me back to childhood. There was a bakery near us in Ohio called 'taste and tell'. They had the best iced cookies. I'm 43 and I still think about them. That place closed probably 30 years ago? I took a bite of these cookies and time traveled to 'taste and tell'. Whatever recipe they use is the same. They are so good!! Out of the three items I bought I didn't have a favorite because everything was amazing in its own right. The brownie was rich and sweet and decadent and had crunchy and creamy and perfection. The basket was 10/10 pure heaven and the cookies were a blast from the past of one of my favorite childhood treats. I'm both sad and happy that this place is so far from me because i want to be there everyday. I will definitely be back to empty the bakery case and also to try and sandwich or soup or real food too.

This place is right in my back yard and it makes me SO HAPPY. I can go on morning walks with my puppy, and sit outside with her to enjoy a nice cup of coffee, or boba tea if I'm feeling extra! Your employees are also some of the nicest people, and make me smile every time I visit. I don't know about anyone else, but a fresh cup of coffee, brisk morning, and big smile on my face after just waking up, is a great way to start your day. Thank you!! read more

More on my opinion on the latte in a minute. The bakery is in another room and they had a large variety of pastries that are prepared in the building. I ordered an Apple fritter, a chocolate cake donut with chocolate icing. My wife ordered a sour cream donut plus a lemon blueberry muffin. The Apple fritter was delicious with nice chunks of apple. One of the best I've ever had. So, after a bite of it, I gave my wife the caramel latte and ordered a black coffee. The sweetness of the fritter with the latte simply doesn't mix well IMO. The drink I had of the latte was really good but of course, I preferred a black coffee with the fritter. My wife loved the sour cream donut and thought it was better than our local donut shop we frequent that has her favorite sour cream donut. We saved the other two for the next day. So, no reviews for those two. This is a great local coffee shop with great products, great variety, and fantastic customer service. If you're in the KY Lake area we highly recommend this establishment.

I would guess this is one of their busier days, both because it's a weekend and because so many other coffee shops are closed on the Lord's Day (which I respect, but a girl on a roadtrip gotta get her coffee somewhere). Waiting in the line seemed faster than driving all the way to another shop, only to find out it's closed (which had happened twice already). In any event, the line moved neither particularly fast nor slow, and at some point it was our turn to order, pull forward, wait, and receive our coffees. The mister got a plain coffee with cream and sugar, I ordered a cappuccino. Espresso drinks feel like a safer choice when you don't know the quality of the coffee being served. Now having tasted their coffee, I'd say there is no reason to fret over this decision and would order a black coffee at Dub House without hesitation, were we to return. Both his coffee and my cappuccino were hot and delicious, served by some very friendly ladies. People who live in the area probably already know this. People reading my review looking for a place to stop as you're driving through, definitely yes, do.

Her response was to laugh and say "we only roll ice cream. What flavor do you want." The boy working with her seemed to be polite and professional and the ice cream was very good.
