While I'm still waiting for scientists to invent a coffee iv drip... I go to these places while I anxiously await the FDA to approve such a brilliant idea.

My new favorite place!!!!! The decor is great and atmosphere really transports you when you arrive.  The food and treats really shine here.  I only had a 10min spot to explore, but I grabbed a chicken salad sandwich and french press from the coffee…More »

Stopped here for breakfast today.  Had a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant.  Hit the spot!  This location is right near my office and is very convenient.  I'm not really in the habit of getting breakfast out, but this place makes it very tempting to…More »

I was pleasantly surprised by this place today.... just driving by it was easy to miss since it's tucked into the corner of the shopping center, but there wasn't a big crowd in here and I was able to talk to the owner(I think she was the owner).  She…More »

Definitely a good place to meet people, read, get work done, or kill time.  The staff is friendly... I don't go here often enough for the staff to get to know who I am, but they are usually quick and helpful if you can't make up  your mind on what…More »

Agree with Eric K.  This location is smaller, but cozier.

I've never been in this location when there's a big crowd so I'm used to coming in ordering and having my caffeine fix given to me immediately.

The staff is friendly and there is a good amount…More »

When I do get coffee or the urge for caffine, I'd probably pick Caribou over those other chains.  I still haven't really found a homey mom and pop corner coffee shop, but I haven't exactly been looking that hard either.

This location is pretty…More »

Trying to find good spots to be productive around the city... this one is in Matthews in the Mintworth shopping center at the corner of HWY 51 and Independence.  There are plenty of other stores around so its pretty well located if you are on the run…More »

Grabbed some coffee here.  The staff was quick and efficient.  Not many places to sit and hang out in this location.  They have a couple of outdoor tables for when the weather is nice.

Set a little ways from the busy intersection of Calhoun and King…More »

Stopped by here the other day and found it pretty nice.  The shopping center is new and this Starbucks shares the same structure with a Salsaritas.

Maybe it was just me, but I felt like I was being pushed through a tight alley the way they had the…More »

Strange layout since this has two entrances located on the endcap of the strip mall. Still gets the job done. Apparently there are a lot of college kids that frequent the location.... which is fine but when the employees ignore customers to chat it…More »
