    Turbo Coffee - Iced Cinnamon Toast Latte

    Turbo wasn't terrible, but the drink I tried just missed the mark. My cinnamon toast latte tasted…read morewatered down, probably because they pour espresso over ice instead of lowering the temp with the milk first and then adding syrups/ice. Biggest red flag for a coffee shop. That said, Tuscaloosa doesn't have a ton of coffee options, so if you're curious, go for it, especially since they rotate seasonal drinks. For balance: the matcha lovers in our party said theirs was excellent.

    Customer service is excellent. Prices are average for product. I used to go here regularly and…read morefeel like the mocha had more of a chocolate taste. Today, we decided to get an iced quad shot oatmilk mocha from here and another place nearby and compare them. I'll include information on both but will say that if you want to taste the coffee (we like the taste of coffee), Turbo would be the better choice. Although we got our drink to go today, we like the ambiance. We have had mochas all over the US (including AK & HI) and in other countries that make them (some places don't), so we (and some of our friends) consider ourselves mocha connoisseurs. Iced Quad Oatmilk Mocha Turbo J: 6/10, lots of coffee, not much chocolate (prefer more), bitter, could use more sweetness N: 6/10, Strong coffee flavor (good), very (maybe too) bitter, barely any chocolate (not enough), too (syrupy) sweet Competitor J: 7/10, don't taste coffee (prefer to taste more), not bitter, could use 1 step up on chocolate, sweetness okay N: 6/10, needs more coffee flavor, needs more chocolate (taste it more than Turbo but no enough for me), still a little too sweet but not as syrupy, not bitter, don't like lid because of risk of coming loose/leaking I would come back but not weekly like I used to in 2020-21. What would make this a better mocha? IMHO, a quality unsweetened cocoa like Guittard Rouge, the ability to customize sweetness, and cooling the drink first in a cold cup before pouring over a bit more ice.

    We are traveling through and dipped in from the interstate. It was easy and quick…read more Monarch is in a beautiful and gorgeous area with free two hour parking. The service was friendly and engaging! They were patient and helpful. Both of our coffees were well made and I liked the dark Italian style roast. The muffins were out of this world good. I had the lemon olive oil muffin. I can't recommend it enough. All their sweet breads looked delicious and homemade. Great stop on our road trip!!

What would make this a better mocha? IMHO, adding more of a quality unsweetened cocoa like Guittard Rouge (not sure of chocolate used), the ability to customize sweetness, and cooling the drink first in a cold cup before pouring over a bit more ice. I'm not sure why the coffee taste was weak with a quad shot, but this did have more of a chocolate taste, although I prefer more. I also appreciated that although it was still too sweet for me, it didn't taste "syrupy." The lid is a bit of a hazard, as it kept popping off.
