It wasn't too loud though. I had a lavender latte and a breakfast sandwich and it was wonderful! They allow you to also order just one or two of their speciality pancakes, so two friends each got a Nutella and cinnamon roll pancake on the side. It was all delicious! Lots of parking outside, counter service was friendly, I'll be back much more often!

This morning went and did the same thing, decided to go here because it got me away from home and it was also a nice environment. The environment is quiet, the drinks are good and it's a good location so I always enjoy going here. The staff are also very nice. I would definitely recommend prices are very fair. I had a 16 ounce latte and it was only about $7.50

First visit I had an iced hiland with oat and it was phenomenal. Also tried a homemade little Debbie style oatmeal cream cookie. Sugar bomb but it was exactly what I wanted.

I ordered a sugar free vanilla latte. It was more milk than I'd prefer- I wish there was a stronger coffee taste and instead it was 3/4 full of milk with syrup. But the staff was friendly and it was quiet inside the shop. A lot of people hanging out and gathering the day I was there. Stars given solely on the taste/ value of the latte I ordered.

OMG, this place is in such a nice area! They have a huge menu with so many amazing options to…read morechoose from. I ordered the Pit Master Sandwich with a side of French onion soup (you get to choose a side with the sandwich). The sandwich was really good! The bread was buttery and soft, and the homemade croutons in the soup were clearly made from fresh bread. The French onion soup wasn't for me--it kind of tasted like acid reflux to me, so I gave it to my mom. She actually thought it was pretty good. The sandwich had perfectly balanced barbecue sauce and cheese, although I thought the barbecue sauce overpowered the cheese a bit. Next time, I'd probably order it without the cheese. The brisket was good, but I would've preferred a fattier cut because I think it would have been more flavorful. I also wasn't a fan of the Gouda since it didn't melt very well, but the other cheese on the sandwich was delicious. Overall, the food was incredible, and this place is an absolute MUST if you're in the area! I noticed they have around 78,000 DoorDash orders, and after eating here, I can definitely see why. I'll actually be coming back in a few days before I leave my vacation because there are so many other delicious items on the menu that I can't wait to try! Staff were also nice!

Really liked the over-the-top Christmas decor, and the service was friendly. I got an egg and…read morecheese with some toppings--it was good, nothing special, and a little messy to eat. I was pretty disappointed with the French toast, though. I ordered the strawberries and cream and expected fresh strawberries with whipped cream, but instead the French toast was basically drowning in a very sweet, thick yellow custard-like sauce. Definitely would not order that again. The latte was also a bit too sweet for my taste. There also weren't many vegetarian options, which is one of the main reasons I haven't gone back.

I first heard about this coffee shop from a coworker. Their coffee is, quite literally, the best…read morecoffee I've ever had. I'd genuinely love to know which local roasters they source their beans from. What stands out most is how smooth the coffee is--there's absolutely no bitter aftertaste. Their honey brown sugar latte deserves special recognition. So many honey lattes either taste overly artificial or like the honey is barely there at all. Not this one. The flavors are perfectly balanced, and it's honestly one of the best coffee drinks I've ever had. I could drink gallons of it. The quality is fantastic and I've found myself thinking about that latte long after I've finished it. My only complaint is that I don't live closer. If I did, I'd probably be there every day.

What a neat little coffee shop! We stopped in in need of some caffeine this morning and were not…read moredisappointed! We ordered an iced mocha latte and iced snickerdoodle latte. The snickerdoodle was perfectly spiced and still had some coffee flavor. The mocha was delicious, certainly an occasional treat as it is more of a coffee milkshake than a coffee. We also ordered the mini apple cider donuts which were okay, they seemed to be plain donuts tossed in cinnamon sugar and the dough had a funny aftertaste. Overall they have a killer menu and a cute & homey sitting area and patio. With so many coffee and caffeine drinks to try- we'll be back!

It's a place that feels like a big chain, but it's just very modern and techie that makes good coffee. My kids loved getting the hot chocolate flight and I enjoyed my Halloween themed coffee flight as well. My husband got the pistachio latte and really enjoyed it, and both of us liked our scones. The only thing that really really threw me off was opening the door and instantly being hit by a wave of something that smelled like a hairdresser's place. I don't think I've ever been to a coffee shop with decent coffee that didn't smell like really good coffee. I don't know if it's the spaces nearby (it's in a strip) or the fact that it's a workspace and so the smell dissipates, but it was very offputting to have that smell in a coffee shop. Other than that, it was a great experience.

For all my friends of the High Trestle Trail it literally is footsteps from their front door, you can eat their ice cream and ride your bike! WIN- WIN!!! The ice cream selections are amazing, and so many its is hard to choose, but i did! We got massive scoops of yummy, creamy deliciousness on a fresh and crispy waffle cone, of which they have several types to choose from. The workers on this particular day were fantastic, attentive and fast, They even hooked us up with some pup cups to go! (The dogs thank you!) If you are feeling like rewarding yourself or just have a hankering for something delicious and Ice Cream fits the bill, pop on in to the Uptown Dairy and try their treats!
