    Cute little coffee shop with solid coffee and espresso drinks. I didn't try any food except for a delightful orange cranberry scone. Service was good and if I lived here this would be my local coffee spot. I came here everyday for my coffee fix during my visit to the area and I was never disappointed!

    Really cute place! Definitely a place where you can meet friends. The drinks are delicious. I think the sandwiches could be better though. The staff is friendly and accommodating. This is not the kind of place where you want to set down your laptop and put on headphones - there are no outlets to plug in your laptop. For that, I'll take off a star. Otherwise, a super cute place!

    What a cute little find! Usually I'm in this area at 7 in the morning to help set up River City Church, but we'd done set up the night before so we were able to come in before Taylor Ray's open. The place is small but it has high ceilings, a cozy couch area with an electric fireplace, and cool outside seating for a gorgeous summer or fall morning. I tried the Kevin Bacon without the English muffin because I'm keto like that, but when you see it without bread, it seems pricey, but it was still tasty. I'll come back here when I'm not in a hurry and bring my laptop or a book so I can soak in the vibes and when I'm not doing keto because that unicorny Rice Krispie bar looked insane.

    After the other coffee shop in the area closed, I've been looking for another local shop that isn't Starbucks. This was a cute little shop. Be mindful, the drive thru speaker isn't very loud so you may need to drive up to the window. The workers were very friendly, and I know my doggo was quite happy when he got a treat at the window. The breakfast burrito was super yummy! I'd definitely get it again. The sauce and flavor were a great combination. They cooked it very well and the tortilla was perfectly flaking. I got the maple oat latte (something like that) and it was well prepared. It's lovely there is a cafe nearby and I'll definitely be returning. Thanks

    Inside the Café, with a cozy corner to enjoy your coffee.

    Great coffee and breakfast sandwiches. But the menu is limited for food. But the atmosphere is nice and they are dog friendly, inside and out.

    This delightful little gem of a cafe is the perfect place to be around positive, happy people who love good food, coffee, tea and furry friends. By the turn of unforeseeable events, fate has led myself and my service dog to this place and it couldn't have come at more of a perfect time. I won't burden anyone else with my morning's humiliating experience at Martin's Way Cafe but I will say, Taylor Ray's Cafe saved the day!!! This quaint cafe is right around the corner from the biggest bead store in America! So crafters, check out Shipwrecked Beads and stop by Taylor's Ray cafe and stay clear from the negative vibes at Martin's Way Cafe.

    This was posted on the door... yet we were there at 11 and nothing was posted on any social media that they'd be closing early.

    We live about 8 miles (which isn't far but still annoying when you're wanting something specific) from Juniper so I check online (Google, Facebook, and Instagram) to make sure they're open before we head over. The last 3 times we've come by they've been closed with no sort of notice anywhere. Sadly my husband said he's done. Now if I want Juniper it's something I'll have to come get on my own but even I'm tired of making the drive and showing up to a closed building then being left to figure out something else. Just sucks, we like Juniper as one of our go to breakfast spots on the weekend.

    New sassy sow. Nothing remotely close to what the sandwich was like before.

    I wanted to love this place but they are a serious hit or miss. Went there with my husband on a Saturday morning and waited over 15 minutes for just 2 coffees. I would've possibly waited longer had I not asked for a refund because we had to go. On a different occasion (more recently) we ordered two breakfast sandwiches, and 2 coffees, paid close to $30 for everything. Upon arrival back home, mine and my husband's sandwiches were BOTH cold in the center. Not only did they change their sandwiches to something not even remotely close to what they were before, they can't even keep up with the quality of the food, AND they are charging the same amount, if not more. Needless to say, we will not be back. Pictured is the new sassy sow sandwich. Nothing remotely close to what the sandwich was like before. It used to have a full sized egg patty, sausage patty, with cheese on top.

    The Trex sandwich is supposed to be a sausage, bacon, ham breakfast sandwich. When I got it, it was drowning in some type of spicy sauce and honest to good, the "meat" was unidentifiable. It looked like mushed up shredded chicken. It looked like someone threw up on the bagel. I threw the whole thing away. First and last time trying this place.

    I had one of the specials and it was good, but since the it was mixed with an energy drink it was a…read morelittle too carbonated for my taste. Normally, I don't drink carbonated drinks, but once I passed beyond that the flavor base was good. Service The barrista was friendly and professional. Unfortunately, I didn't get her name because she went above her duty. It was Saturday and raining, and the inside of my car door got wet when I rolled the window down. She gave me my drink and cheerfully asked me if I wanted napkins to wipe the inside of my door, and I said yes. Little things like that makes you feel that people out there care about others. Ambiance The area is pretty much good and enough space for vehicles to get by. I thought of maybe the can put on an awning on both sides of the windows to keep the barrisistas and customers dry during the raining season, also it's good for shade in the summer. Overall, this place deserves 5 stars.

    New favorite coffee stand!…read more First of all... I don't drink coffee. So we are usually Dutch Bro's people. I just might be converted to Black Diamond. Things we love: Real food options Plenty of non-coffee drink options Fun drink add-ins/ons Sweet treat options Supportive of military - yes there is a discount Friendly welcoming service Location! This just might be our new fave place to stop and add a little joy... and energy... to our day. Highly recommend checking this stand out! I mean how fun is donut day?! And the cake pop flavor options are delicious too!

I'd like to return to try their flights or more unique options. This location is very casual and fairly comfortable. It was pretty empty when I visited so there were plenty of seats.

The drinks are somewhat limited and they have a coffee flight option but only cold coffee drinks. The staff is very friendly and conversational. The location is decently sized with a sprinkling of seating options. It's well appointed and they have a cool Mazam espresso machine. My only reason for bringing this down a star is the coffee. I ordered a 24-oz and asked for a triple instead of a quad shot raspberry beret (I think that's the name). The coffee tasted like a La Croix coffee. It was a whisper of flavor. I barely tasted the white chocolate and the raspberry. The coffee was smooth but also minimal tasting. I felt like it was mainly just milk with suggestions of other flavors. I'm not expecting diabetes level sugary, but this seemed a little odd. And no, I didn't ask for the drink to be remade. If the drinks are normally like this, then that's how I'm going to judge them. If you like coffee but don't like the strong taste of coffee, then this is the place for you. Unfortunately, I'm used to oil rig coffee where there's only one caffeine source and it's gotta keep you awake for 16 hours straight.

    After a yummy lunch outing elsewhere, my son and I were craving donuts for dessert, so we stopped…read moreby here since the name of the store appealed to us, and the location is near our home. The lady who took our order was patiently waiting behind the counter and provided the bare minimum friendliness for service -- nothing extravagant nor terrible. We purchased a dozen donut holes and 4 individual donuts: 2 maple bars, 1 chocolate bar, and 1 regular chocolate donut, as well as their flan, which was about $20 in total. The donuts were packed into cheap brown paper bags, so they're easy to eat immediately. The donuts were cheap enough, but the signage for the prices was located on the left on a chalkboard on the wall, which was very easy to miss after entering the shop, and we didn't notice it until after we ordered. My son enjoyed the donuts, but I found the donuts tasted stale, perhaps because we visited in the evening when they were no longer fresh. I would have liked them to be sweeter and fluffier, but it was inevitable that the quality would be mediocre based on the time we arrived. They offered an okay selection of donuts, which were all displayed visibly as soon as you entered, and there was some variety, but nothing that particularly stood out to me besides the maple bars, so not much creativity there with the donut options. Perhaps, again, it was due to our late visit. However, they do offer other desserts, like pastries, but those looked too filling for me at the time, so I settled for the flan, which was still rich and heavy, but I was able to refrigerate it to enjoy at a later time. I noticed they sold some sweet bread too, like conchas, but those didn't interest me at the time. They also offer drinks and ice cream bars on the right after you enter. There's a decent amount of seating, but the shop was practically empty when we were there, because we're weirdos who visit around 18:00 for donuts lol. There wasn't really anything that caught my attention enough for a return visit, besides the convenience of the location. Overall, not a bad visit, but nothing enticing enough for me personally.
