From an inviting, peaceful atmosphere to amazing customer service and products. I asked the owner…read moreher suggestions for what she would recommend to help me with the increased inflammation I was experiencing. With several allergies the first couple of teas she recommended I could not ingest but she didn't stop there. She mentioned another tea that may help but could not guarantee, because at the end of it all it depends on how my body responds. The tea has been amazing and my body responds well to it. My inflammation has begun to decrease and at the same time it has helped with my emotions of grief during a very difficult season. If you are looking for a high quality product paired with amazing service, S & K Tea & Coffee is a must.

Been twice. NEVER GOING BACK! Worst waitress ever. Decided…read moreto give it another try since Elgin has no other breakfast/brunch dining choices. First time NO COFFEE....waitress laughed and said coffee machine broke. The food was served cold and bland; nothing special. Waitress never came around to see if we needed anything. Finally had to get up and go to counter to ask for assistance. Twice now the waitress either ignored us or was blind to us being there. Second time our food must have sat out waiting to be served and was cold and obviously dried out. Waitress was too busy chatting it up with another table, served three other tables that came in after us, talking on phone all whilst we sat ignored and waited ...watched ....waited ....waited and waited while our food sat waiting to be picked up and brought to our table. Absolutely unacceptable. Waitress needs training.

We were really looking forward to trying Cornbread Cafe--new place, new experience, and all the…read moreexpectations that come with wanting to support a local spot. Unfortunately, this visit just wasn't it. We were greeted and told to sit anywhere, which was fine. A server came by to take our drink order, only to let us know they were out of both drinks we originally wanted. No big deal--we pivoted. But then my sweet tea came with Splenda and no spoon to stir it, and silverware never made an appearance at all. What really sealed it, though, was the service--or lack of it. Another server spent close to 20 minutes chatting with a table about something completely unrelated to the restaurant while we sat there unnoticed. During that time, three separate parties were seated after us and were promptly given menus, silverware, and attentive service. We were never checked on again. After sitting there watching everyone else be taken care of, it became pretty clear we weren't going to be served that day. So we got up and left. I always hate sharing experiences like this because I truly want local businesses to succeed. But service matters just as much as the food, and sadly, this visit missed the mark entirely.

Having coffee delivered straight to your hotel room door? Truly, what could be better? I also loved they they had seasonal lattes. Because, my rule is, if a place has a seasonal latte, I'm ordering a seasonal latte. I got the pecan praline cookie latte. It was a holiday infused delight. They also have a few hot breakfast items, smoothies, and energy drinks. While I ordered delivery, they also have a drive thru for convenience. In fact, they're primarily a drive thru spot with no real seating to speak of. But, if you want to be caffeinated on the go--Canal has you covered. Get to it!

Wow! My dad told me this place had him in a choke hold and now I see why. Came here on a whim while…read moremy bestie was in town. I was craving donuts and she was craving a funnel cake. We arrived about 30 minutes before closing and was kindly greeted. There were a few donuts left in the case and I chose the Biscoff, Oatmeal Pie, Classic Chocolate Sprinkle, and what looked like Churro with caramel swirl. I also got a funnel cake and 2 scoops of the Cappucino Crunch ice cream for my wife. The donuts were delicious!!! I had to stop myself from eating them in one sitting. They were not lying when they said they didn't need a fresh donut light! 30 minutes before closing and the donuts tasted so fresh! The Chocolate sprinkles was really good, can't go wrong with a classic. The donut itself (for all of them) was so fluffy and airy and had that delicious donut tatse. The chocolate frosting wasn't overly sweet and it had the perfect amount of sprinkles on it. The Oatmeal Pie donut was also really good. I like that they include an Oatmeal pie piece on there. The Biscoff donut had to me my fave out the bunch. It was packed with different textures and flavors. The white frosting was absolutely devine. I would say I would prefer the crispy pieces to be a bit more fresh to get that crunchy texture. I also thought this one tasted more like oatmeal pie than the actual oatmeal pie donut but they were both still delicious. The churro donut was perfectly seasoned with cinnamon and sugar. I would have loved more caramel sauce on that one but again, still delicious. Overall I truly enjoyed the vibe here. Everyone was so friendly. It very spacious so if you want to sit inside and enjoy your treats you can. They also have a variety of other things like hot foods, coffee, lemonade, and fried oreos. I will definitely be back to try more!

Stopped by The Donut Guy in Columbia, SC and wow... this place is a whole vibe…read more From the moment you walk in, the colorful murals and fun decor (that donut truck wall + vintage car counter!) make it feel super unique and welcoming . Definitely a spot you want to hang out and snap pics in. Now the donuts... SO good. The hot mini donuts were fresh, soft, and covered in powdered sugar perfection . The loaded funnel cake with cookies, chocolate drizzle, and powdered sugar was over-the-top in the best way -- sweet, crunchy, and totally worth it . Everything tasted fresh and made with care, and the presentation alone had me excited before the first bite. If you're craving something sweet and fun, this is definitely a must-stop spot! Catch them at Soda City or storefronts in Cola.

I really think the owner should have a beignet and coffee food truck to show up at local events. It would definitely be a showstopper.
