They have plenty of coffee flavors and options to kick start your morning but also sell bottles of wine and drinks for the evening. This visit, I got a Bourbon Caramel Iced Coffee and my husband got a Hot Chai Latte. The Chai was on the sweeter side but had good flavor. My coffee was the perfect caffeine strength but it could have used a bit more syrup flavoring. Overall, the staff member who helped us was great and very kind! I'd love to come back and try one of their customer favorites.

I got one of their winter menu items, which was the Snow Day Cold Coffee. The maple cinnamon cold foam was delicious. For food, I got the ricotta chili crisp toast and the flavors of honey, chili and creamy ricotta paired with the crunchy toast was perfect. I also tried their vegan chocolate glazed old-fashioned donut. Great spot for meeting with friends or doing work. They have a huge collection of board games to play as well!

When it was the 5 owners that place was immaculate and always a pleasure to sit down and chat with the 5 owners regardless of how busy. Once, it turned the two new owners and their third partner external that works at a data center. It turned to the worse. I mean you had bida buns working there hard and then she suddenly left. That should send a big red flag when the business was going down hill. Bida Buns does amazing work and is a delight to chat with. When you see Bida Buns leave an establishment thats how you know the store itself will tank hard.

Their menu offers a favorite of coffee, teas, and sandwiches for food. Note that all syrups flavors are pumps over homemade. I was between some items but the staff member highly recommended the seasonal Pumpkin, Brown Sugar Shaken Espresso (med- 20oz). I changed the milk to oatmilk ($1 upcharge) and my total was $9.30. This is a bit pricey for how much I like to spend on coffee out but the flavor was amazing! A bit sweet but I found myself continuously going back for another sip. I would certainly come back for their seasonal offerings but couldn't sustain visiting sadly on a regular cadence. Either way, stop by Pepper Park Coffee to give them a try!

My only complaint would be that I like to drink my coffee out of a mug - not paper cups. I know how that sounds - nice and pretentious! I ordered the breakfast burrito and it was jam packed with avocado, egg, bacon, and hash browns (but I couldn't taste them- maybe add more of a crisp and seasoning for these to shine more). Overall - a solid, quick bite at reasonable prices. The burrito was $6-7 (insert middle school laughter) and filling.

Sorry to bring you into this Bob. What I tend to get is always from their traditional brew, hot & black. Their coffee is farm direct, herbicide and pesticide free, bought from small producers. Always rich, bold and satisfying. Every once in a while, I'll have something from their featured items. It always feels like a treat. They have this thumbprint cookie latte and frosted sugar cookie latte right now that is glorious. One sip and I start daydreaming with The Nutcracker theme music playing in my head and I smile. Then my wife asks me what the h is wrong with me and I say "nothing what's for dinner". Also, they have very unique cold items. Go check out their blasts and mocktails. I need to stop by and try their maple waffle breakfast sandwiches. You will notice that even drive thru customer service is very friendly and helpful if you don't know what to order. When you order online it is very customizable which is much appreciated. Biggby is a winner.

I tried the Iced Spotted Owl and really enjoyed it--definitely on the sweeter side, but as a hazelnut fan, it hit the spot. The lemon coffee cake bites were a great add-on. Not too heavy, just the right portion for a quick treat alongside a drink. Huge bonus for me: they have a drive-thru, which makes it super convenient when you're on the go. The service was also great: friendly, quick, and made the whole experience even better. And extra points for being dog-friendly! Their pup cup was huge and such a fun surprise. Always love seeing places go the extra mile for customers with pups.

Being that Ramadan had recently started, I assumed this was post iftar, the evening break in the fast and peeps were coming for drinks and desserts. The drink menu is on a display but it doesn't mention what flavors are associated in some of their custom drinks. I was split between a Habibi, coconut or Biscoff flavored lattes. A conversation with the barista pushed me towards the aforementioned and they said they could lighten the sweetness. I don't remember the details of exactly what gives its "Middle Eastern flair", the flavors worked and kept me awake for the drive. Judging from the many orders being called out, I picked the most popular. If you dig chill spaces to work & or meet new peeps, seek out details on their IG page. They host lively events to discover their new menu items and or trivia nights engaging popular topics Ie Star Wars, Marvel, and more.
