Honestly...the coffee was like a 2 but the service was nice and the interior of the shop was cute…read moreso I'm rounding up to a 3! Stopped by for some fuel on the drive home after road tripping to a nearby park. I'd had this spot on my bookmarks for a while because I thought the drinks looked pretty and the name was cute, so I was excited to try it out. This is a small stand alone coffee shop kind of by itself off the side of the road. They have a drive through too. I hopped inside to check out their menu. They have coffee classics, Red Bull infused energy drink blends, tea, lots of frappes, and some minor food options. I didn't see any seasonal specials but they did have a turtle mocha, so I ordered that. Two gentlemen were working the counter and they were exceedingly pleasant. They invited me to come back out later to attend a trivia night or some such, which I thought was a nice idea and sentiment. My drink was made quickly. The inside of the shop feels super cozy and comfortable, a little like a book nook. I can imagine settling in for several hours to read or work. Unfortunately, I really didn't care for my drink. It was overwhelmed by syrups - and I say this as a woman who loves her sugary coffee desserts. Worse than that, at least one of the syrups had a distinctly unpleasant chemically taste. I'm guessing it's whichever one was meant to represent the pecan flavor in the turtle mocha, as it was slightly nutty tasting, but in a very unpleasant and artificial way. I barely drank any of my beverage. Perhaps I ordered the wrong thing. I appreciated the kind service and pleasant atmosphere and wish them well.

I and my spouse were passing through Geraldine on a weekend afternoon (about an hour before…read moreclosing), and I needed a coffee hit for the rest of the trip. I'm so glad I stopped here! Don't be fooled by its humble exterior... the interior space is *immaculately* clean and inviting. It beats national chain interiors handily, and most one-off shops I've visited in larger cities. I ordered a large latte (no syrups, I'm a purist), and had them pour it over ice. Delicious and well-made. My spouse wanted something to satisfy their sweet tooth: a chocolate chip cookie filled the bill. It was deceptively filling for its size, as it was laced with oatmeal -- but not too much of it -- and a touch of molasses. Even so, it was not overly sweet (which is a good thing). The young-ish counter guy was very pleasant, and seemed genuinely invested in ensuring our visit met our expectations. Again, high marks. Should I find myself in Geraldine, I will make it a point to stop in again. Bravo.
