Somewhat limited non-caffeine options, but not none. The smoothies do not come with milk, they are just syrup and ice blended up. Most of the staff are quite nice. The cashier was unhelpful when I had an issue with my drink, but it was resolved by the manager swiftly and without complaint. Considering the possibility of rotating staff (and the cashiers young age) I'd say such an experience does not look poorly upon the establishment. Rather, the way management handled the issue looks favorably on them. We did not get ice cream so I cannot comment on it. It was expensive, and perhaps overpriced. However, this is wildwood in the summer, so everything is expensive. For those curious, I got the 4 Berry smoothie, which I was expecting to contain fruit and a dairy product. Instead it was ice and syrup. I tried to reach a resolution with the cashier by explaining the issue and asking for an alternative drink. The cashier declined and said I'd have to purchase a replacement. I stepped aside so I wouldn't hinder other customers and asked another staff member if a manager was present. They were, and when I explained my issue and we reached a resolution where part of my drink would be poured out and replaced by milk (I honestly didn't want to chance a different drink). By replacing 1/4 of the drink with milk, it improved the drink tremendously. The management also offered to make a new drink if I didn't like it, but I did so all is well. Overall: good experience, excellent food, great coffee, decent non-coffee options, possibly overpriced.

This coffee house also serves gourmet sandwiches! Firstly, I must mention the coffee is high…read morequality especially their Expresso. They have awesome cappuccinos & iced drinks as well as smoothies. Flavor shots are also available for preferred favs. Their frozen lemonades seem to be a pool/beach favorite as I see many of them being ordered. The prices are Coffee House (vs chain or fast service) level but the quality is worth it in my opinion. Now back to the sandwiches, I ordered one of the paninis of the day. It was Turkey, bacon & avocado. It was available on sourdough or multigrain with mayo or mustard. I love that options are offered not only because I have bread & condiment preferences but because you know it's being made fresh! The sandwich was delicious! The bread was bakery quality & all was beyond fresh & tasty.

The coffee was extremely disappointing. It tasted like someone rinsed out the coffee pot and poured that into my cup. The latte wasn't much better, an easy way to put it would be watered down milk. The sandwich was also disappointing. While the price was reasonable, the preparation was careless. The egg and cheese sandwich consisted of a little more than a slice of American cheese placed on the bread. They didn't event take the time to melt it. For a cafe with such a strong reputation, I expected much better, and I probably could've gotten better at a local gas station. Overall, while I appreciated the good customer service, the food and beverages fell far below expectations. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this place.
