I went to the Jitterbugs Café this morning and I ordered a large French vanilla latte. I'm not sure if the milk was going bad or if it was the flavoring but what I got was not edible. I even went as far to allow the coffee to cool a bit thinking maybe it was too hot. Even then, it was not drinkable. It had a horrible, almost spoiled milk taste. read more

Adorable local coffee shop with delicious espresso and tons of different flavors! The service is 10/10 and the ambience is great. They have cute plants for sale too! Didn't try any good but it looked yummy and fresh pastries too. read more

Jitterbugz Cafe & Beanery - Front part of coffee shop - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

Convenient parking, easy drive through, friendly staff with expansive drink options from lemonade, matcha, coffees, hot chocolate and more. Breakfast sandwich and pastry options but unfortunately no gluten free options. Seems to be a community spot as there's plenty of locals and community boards boasting of Events. However, since they're busy, service is understandably slow - just be aware if you're in a time crunch. I got the matcha with lavender cold foam. Matcha was sweet and didn't have a clear taste of matcha and the lavender cold foam... also didn't have a distinct taste. It was just extra sweet. AND ran for almost $8 read more

Very nice staff. Great environment. Horrible coffee and food. Ordering anything without syrup you will taste it. Staff need real training at a class by pro baristas. Coffee under extracted. Milk not properly frothed for the drinks people are ordering, lattes don't get a froth cap 3 inches thick. They are 100% not dialing in beans but just putting grinder beans in a portafilter and running pressured water through it. Now to the food. I ordered a tuskin sandwich. I was given Deli meat chicken with frozen bacon and a Walmart quality bread that was so soggy. I personally won't be coming back. Which I hate because the staff is great but they need management that know about coffee and how to make coffee. read more

LOVE! New in the area and still getting the lay of the land... I occasionally treat myself to a coffee and today I met a new friend (my first friend here!) The place is cute and cozy. Lots or different tables and chairs. I do love that they have a drive through window which is awesome for people on the run. Never having been here the gal helping me (recently moved from CA sorry didn't catch her name) was very helpful as I didn't know what I wanted. I LOVE that I could get any drink iced which I never drink hot drinks. I had the hopscotch and it was amazing!! Will definitely be back!!! read more

The Vanilla Latte was decent. It was sweet but you could still taste the coffee. It cost about $6 for a 16oz. I'm not sure the reason the coffee is overpriced. They seem to have a variety of coffees for sale. The pound is about $18 and the half pound $11. The atmosphere is about what you'd expect from a coffee shop. The have a small drive through. I would have given it five stars but the barista made interacting uncomfortable. I would have purchased beans had it been more welcoming. You could here the gals gossiping loudly. The area is small. read more

Such a cute coffee shop! Family friendly vibe and a fantastic coffee selection. Everyone that works here is very friendly. I got the bacon/egg/cheese croissant, unlike downfall for me was the bacon wasn't good. Bacon was thin and flavorless. read more

I love having a coffee shop so close to my home. The place is always so clean and the staff is always friendly and fast. I've tried several special coffees, muffins and smoothies and are always satisfied with everything. Must try if you are close. read more

Jitterbugz Cafe & Beanery - Mango smoothie and grasshopper - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

Great coffee shop to walk in for quick service, stay a while or use the drive thru. They have all the regulars you'd expect to see on a coffee shop menu, with flavors galore, but I absolutely love they have special flavors for seasons (whatever). I went in shortly after valentines and saw their special celebratory drinks so cute and always new creations to try. Very cute space, with cute seasonal tee shirts and coffee beans for purchase. read more

I go here practically everyday. My wife loves their frappuccinos, specifically the Java Chip Frappe, and their Chicken Salad Croissant, is legitimately the best I have ever had. I definitely recommend hitting the drive through on your commute for great food and beverages served by a friendly staff! read more

Coffee is meh. Usually tastes bad, I hate to say, because I reallllllly want to love this place because it's so close to the house! But it's just not worth five dollars if it's burnt or mixed poorly, to be honest. The food is great though, we've never been disappointed there. They also are kind of unfriendly here - and take a solid ten minutes - because it seems like there is only ever one person working and they always seem stressed out. I know they have new owners, and we've given a few chances since they took over, and still feel the same. Big bummer. read more

I love the mom and pop coffee shops! The service, the appreciation I get from the baristas for ordering and choosing them, will keep me coming back as often as I can! Thank you for being my community coffee shop! read more

i grew going here and it is absolutely amazing. better than Starbucks. I definitely recommend and the prices are not high. read more

Love love love this place. It's cute and Quaint with unique coffees, and good customer service....

Cute coffee shop with fun seasonal menus. I am here every weekend with a ladies Bible study, amazing staff, beverages and food. Highly recommend! read more

Fantastic service, veteran owned, locally owned, yummy snacks and tasty sandwiches! I love the creativity of jitterbugz menu, it changes all the time, and of course you can customize your drink anyway you like it. The baristas are great at pairing snack suggestions with your coffee selection. The beans are always fresh and glossy. I also really love how much they support local businesses! I recommend jitterbugz to anyone, especially those of us from other areas that are accustomed to a sit down coffee shop on every corner; it's a great place with a nice atmosphere, and amazing customer service! read more

Coffee selection was very diverse, different flavors for hot and iced coffee with seasonal flavors as well. The issues are with presentation. The menu is painted on the wall which is very hard to read, with an additional one at the counter. There are no prices listed anywhere. Ordered two coffees, wasn't given an option for hot or iced she just made it hot. Ordered two sandwiches but I guess the woman never got the 2nd sandwich on the order and left before I could ask; never saw her again. Overall, the coffee was good but very sweet. The sandwich's was good but very small and pricey. 7/10 for quality but 4/10 for service. Left feeling hungry and unappreciated. read more

Small mom and pop coffee shop with good coffee and a nice atmosphere. Always better to spend money here than at big chain corporate restaurants. read more

The place to go for your coffee or lunch!! The sandwiches are always perfection, must get the pimento cheese bacon on a croissant! The staff and owners are all wonderful people! read more

Unfortunately, this place is very hit or miss when it comes to the quality of service and the quality of coffee/other drinks and food. There is nothing significant about the atmosphere, it's pretty much the same as every other coffee place. I'm not really a "drive through" person, so I this is solely based on my inside experiences. I've had amazing service, excellent coffee, and the absolute best breakfast sandwiches on more than one occasion! However, I have also stood at the counter for over fifteen minutes waiting for service, while watching three employees tag team a single drive through order, and then completely disappear off into the back for like five minutes before acknowledging my existence and taking my order. I have ended up with burnt coffee and barely toasted breakfast sandwiches, an order that was definitely not mine because they accidentally gave my order to someone else and didn't have what was needed to remake my order. So again, very hit or miss and very dependent on who is working the days you go. read more

I'm really impressed with the variety here! They had easily 30 different syrup flavors to choose from and another 15-20 combinations. You'll never get bored with their drinks. They also sell flavored coffee grounds which I love. A lot of the flavors sound rich and sweet but I hear they're very subtle- I'll have to try them soon. read more

YAY to finding a cute and quaint local cafe! Came here with a friend for the first time and was pleasantly surprised. I ordered a pomegranate smoothie and my friend ordered a straight decaf coffee and blueberry muffin. Upsides Great layout and ambiance. There are couches and plenty of tables and chairs. Prices are reasonable. Great selection of beverages, including coffee, teas, smoothies, and juices. I love that they have loose leaf teas! Those are hard to come by, so I always appreciate finding a cafe that serves that. Decent selection of baked goods. Not much of a savory selection, so if that's your thing, your choices are limited. Good service. The girls behind the counter are nice and willing to explain the menu to you. I almost always end up asking for a glass of water when I'm at a cafe and they gave me one without a fuss. They also sell whole coffee beans and various other sundries, like lotions and soaps, bracelets, bags, etc... It adds to the local and quaint vibe of the place, which is great. It really feels like a mom and pop shop, rather than a commercial chain. Downsides My smoothie was too sweet. My friend ordered it later and also made the same observation. I also don't think they put any yogurt to give it better texture, which I would prefer. But I'm selective about my smoothies. :P Word of caution It appears that after school hours and end of work hours bring lots of kids into the cafe, so this is a warning of the chaos and mess that comes with children on the premises. Final Answer- My main reason for not giving a 5 star rating is because I didn't try much on the menu and what I did try, I wasn't completely satisfied with. I'm certain there are other menu items I would like, but I have to get my butt back there. Overall, this is a place I definitely plan on returning to! read more

Great coffee, and great food! Staff has a great attitude and is always quick! Jitter bugs is the perfect place to study, grab breakfast and coffee, or grab desert! read more

Best coffee around. I have come here for 4 years and have used it for book club meetings and study breaks. Anytime my family comes to visit, they request to go to Jitterbugz! Always amazing service and lovely atmosphere. We will miss this place once we move! read more

Jitterbugz Cafe & Beanery - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Sanford, North Carolina

While visiting in the Sanford area, we came upon this wonderful coffee shop, that has an great variety of flavored coffee drinks, and delicious pastries and sandwiches. The atmosphere feels like the bar in the Cheers TV show, where many of the customers are regulars, and the welcoming staff knows their names and usual coffee order. Give it a try! read more

Jitterbugz is such a good spot for coffee. They have a very extensive menu, that can be a little daunting at first, but honestly everything I've tired has been delicious. I typically go for their seasonal drinks more than ordering from the main menu. My current favorites are their honeysuckle iced coffee, and the lavender love (which I order with chai instead of espresso). Seriously so good! They also have several nondairy alternatives, as well as a great sugar free selection. The muffins are great, and even though I haven't tried them yet, the other treats all look delicious! read more

Delicious coffee with more flavors and combinations than you could imagine. Very tasty eats as well. I had the chicken salad croissant and loved it! We also tried the Lilly Mint drink, which was delicious. If you like mint, it's a must try. They are OPEN during the COVID19 pandemic and are operating through their drive through or call ahead orders that are brought out to your vehicle upon arrival. Very friendly staff. Please continue to support your local small businesses! read more

Our favorite coffee place in the area! Friendly staff, great drinks, good food. We even buy our beans from them!

This is by far one of the best coffee shops I have ever been to! The baristas are always kind and take the time to get to know you. When you walk in; they'll ask you if you want "your regular". And then, if you're not in a rush, they are happy to have you sit at the counter and chat. Now for the drinks.. any drink is offered hot, iced, or blended. They have SO many flavor combinations. Everything my husband and I have tried has been delicious! Highly recommend. read more

I stumbled across this coffee shop and I am so happy I did! It has been so hard to find a good quality cup of coffee in North Carolina! Being from the PNW I have always been close to great coffee shops! I've never been upset with any drink I've gotten from this shop! Always consistent and delicious. If you haven't yet, try them!!! read more

Great service, great coffee and good food! 10/10 recommend the caveman coffee drink! Inside of the store is cozy and they sell fresh ground beans too! read more

Best coffee around with local owners, great service, and friendly staff and atmosphere. Way better than national chain coffee places

Delicious fancy froo-froo coffee. You know the kind. The five dollar kind. I haven't been yuppified enough to plop down a ten for two cups of a coffee on a regular basis. But as an occasional treat, I will, and I'd pick this local business over a big chain any day. The ambiance is cozy. A plethora of reading materials invites you to sit and sip. Nice place. read more

Jitterbugz is my favorite place to go for coffee/cafe food! Ashton and Theresa are so sweet and friendly and their service was wonderful. The holiday coffee and the Tuscan sandwich are DELICIOUS. Highly recommend coming here! read more

Not the best frappes, but everything else is amazing. Update - they have changed their frappe recipe and now they are amazing too. I especially like that this place has the option of almond and coconut milk. read more

I stopped by looking for a place with free wifi to get out of the house and was pleasantly surprised. Lots of cozy seating and cute gifts available. They have a HUGE list of flavors and choices - much more than Starbucks or any other coffee shop I've been to before. I especially appreciated the number of sugar free options they had. :) It's more expensive than stopping at the gas station around the corner, but it's not too ridiculously priced and you can definitely taste a huge difference. I'd say it's a comparable cost to Starbucks but tastes way better, plus it's local and much more personalized. Bonus imaginary sixth star for having dog treats at the drive-thru window! read more

Located kind of out there, didn't think I'd find it. great atmosphere, nice couches, definitely a place to stay around and chill, not many places to sit outside if you were to want enjoy the weather. They get their coffee from a place in Appalachian, but on our visit my boyfriend got a regular coffee and it was cold when he got it and I got the German chocolate cake frapp and the coffee was in a pitcher and was already cold not fresh from the espresso machine which I have never seen. It was not too rememberable, probably wouldn't go back. read more

I ordered a caramel latte and it was so good! I love that they a drive through as well, so convenient!
