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.

I have nothing but good things to say about it! I'm a coffee lover, but couldn't pass up this combo! My fiance got the lucky charms crappy because we wouldn't you get those marshmallows that are xl size if you could?! If you like sweet and to reminisce on your childhood, this is your drink!

Overall, it's a great place to stop by if you're looking for something simple, cozy, and delicious--just be prepared for the smaller space and slightly higher prices!

During my second visit, I opted for the banana muffin and it was just as delicious. The staff is also really friendly and coffee is made quick.

It was all younger college students but pretty quiet in there. The cashier was super nice. I got a cold brew with sweet cold foam. It was pretty good, not super strong, but not weak either. As you can see in the picture the cold foam kinda just mixed with the coffee, meaning it was probably frothed milk as opposed to frothed heavy cream. It still was good (I didn't detect much sweetness). Coming back I'd probably try a latte instead and see how the espresso is.
