Service was not the quickest but we didn't encounter a line. Two girls working two windows but I'd say they probably need a third. Cute branding and our drinks were good. Not the best but definitely someplace I'd try again. read more

Purple moose always gets their drinks right, their specials are tasty and the coffee is good. I also love their food, and they have a good amount of desserts and cookies that Vagabond blues also has! FYI...they cannot do "Apple Pay or tap" with phones (for now lol idk) which is unfortunate so make sure you have a physical card or cash. read more

we had to go back three times because they kept messing up our order and forgot stuff and when we headed them our card they told us they didn't take it and they laughed in our face and when we asked if they would remake our drink they laughed again and said that's not what I heard you say they were quite rude and unprofessional read more

Only the finest drive through coffee and espresso. And their burritos aren't bad either. If you want amazing coffee in a pinch, this is the place for you. The coffee and burrito held us over for our 4-hour drive to Denali. I would come back here in a heart beat. read more

This coffee was so good we came back twice on the same day! I got a caramel latte and a salted caramel latte the second time and both were just as yummy. Sadly we were only passing by while on a trip but I will be daydreaming about this yummy coffee for the rest of our trip. read more

Came to get hot coco for the colony Christmas parade, the line was 4-5 cars deep on both sides, and only ONE barista!! The wait was long, but that one barista was working has fast as she could, doing her very best in whah I'm sure was a stressful rush for her. Management should have planned better for a popular event in Palmer, there should have been at least two if not three baristas. Our wait time was 45 minutes, for 2 coffees and 4 child hot cocoas. read more
