Who'd have thought! Inviting colorful patio seating gives it a good vibe. I recommend this coffee shop highly. I'll be stopping again when I go this way again. I suggest they should put up a sign by the freeway. That'll bring them a lot more customers. Good luck and hope you thrive! Keep up the standards. I'll update my review over time. Ciao!

UPDATE: July 4th, 2025…read more I've been coming back to this place 4-5 days a week SINCE my last review. The service has improved DRASTICALLY. My review was never about speed/wait times, or anything about product or store. It was ONLY on how insanely long it took SOME of the staff to acknowledge that a customer is in the store. Not because I need special attention, but because as someone in the industry for almost two decades, I was just dumbfounded by the lack of personal care. However, since then, they've all seemed to REALLY up there game. They're especially nice and attentive to me. I can't tell if its because I'm "that guy" who wrote the review... Or because they truly care and have actually focused on improving customer service across the board. Either way, the staff is very friendly, the drinks and food are AMAZING, ambiance is second to none in town, and I would recommend this place and service 11/10 times.

I honestly don't know why I keep giving this location chances. I LOVE Starbucks, but this store has…read moreconsistently been disappointing -- to the point that I'll drive all the way to Dixon just to avoid it. I've had multiple negative experiences here, especially with one employee who is repeatedly rude at the window. My drinks are made wrong often, and when I kindly ask for them to be remade, I've watched them dump the incorrect drink into a new cup instead of actually fixing it. I've even been laughed at for politely requesting the correct milk. For a long stretch, every time I ordered a white hot chocolate, they made a white mocha instead, then acted irritated when I said something -- even though I was avoiding caffeine and that was the entire reason for my order. Red Cup Day last year was the first big breaking point. They handed my 6-year-old a red cup, and the same employee ran over, took it back, and claimed we "didn't order a holiday drink" -- even though we did. It was humiliating and completely unnecessary. And a year later, the issues with this same person have only continued. I spend a lot of money at Starbucks and genuinely love the brand, but the lack of friendliness, consistency, and basic customer service at this location is exhausting. I've never been more homesick for my hometown Starbucks in Indiana, because they would never treat customers the way I've been treated here. Just today, I placed a mobile order. There wasn't a single person in line. I waited until the app said my drink was ready, then went through the drive-thru -- only to be told once again by the same employee to pull around. I watched several cars get their drinks while I awkwardly waited for mine. After so many experiences like this, I genuinely hate coming here. I try to be extra friendly, but it's clear my business isn't appreciated. I'm extremely disappointed that spending $12-$20 a day results in rude service, incorrect drinks, and an overall unwelcoming atmosphere. If you can drive the extra miles to Dixon, it is absolutely worth it.

Super cute place! GREAT VIBE!…read more If you fancy up your shop, you should know how to make a latte. They don't. Out-of-towners who like to make stops for local, good coffee, beware! Tried a signature latte, tasted burnt. Opened the cup, 2 inches of DRY FOAM. They tried to cover the burnt flavor with a ton of syrup, no luck. $6 wasted Funny, two of us got the same thing, the other rated like watery coffee with too much syrup.

This is a double review - I ate here Monday, and brought my wife here Tuesday…read more Monday - I had their Turkey BLT Sandwich, which was served hot off the grille - it was very very good - good flavor, good texture of the bread, just GOOD. I also grabbed a package of their cookie dough which was tasty. Day 2: I had their Chicken Chipotle Melt, which was again hot and tasty. The chipotle was just enough to let you know it was there, without searing your eyebrows off. My wife went for their New York-Style Bacon, Egg & Cheese Sandwich, along with a Latte. She said her sandwich was very good - it was so hot when we sat down she had to wait a minute. She really enjoyed her Latte as well. And more cookie dough. Go figure. We really like this place. The service is the right speed to provide quality products, and the place has a really nice look to it, which makes it easy on the eyes. Tables upstairs and downstairs, parking to the west if the front lot is full. If you haven't tried this place, you are missing a gem
