Michele ChristensenDecember 15, 2012This CBTL is especially nice because of their big outdoor fireplace. Grab a drink and sit by the circular fireplace with your feet up. Soy milk available and vegan snacks too.
Everything including no added sugar drinks people are nice and friendly and the employees are friendly and remember certain people by name
Josh KingApril 1, 2013The creamers are in the wrong place. Its location blocks one of the doors and is where you pick up your order. So it creates an atmosphere where people are always in the way. Put it by the napkins.
Very friendly staff that has worked here for years. Tip every now and then
KatrinaAugust 27, 2014Great rejuvenating rest stop in between shopping. Good coffee. Nice outdoor patio.
Larry PoseyJanuary 2, 2017Great staff. They went out there to make my day! Regina and crew is making Store 8 great!! Thanks
Nov 5th. All holiday drinks arrive. Dont forgot to come in this holiday season to try one of ur favorites, or something new. My fav, Winterdream tea latte!
Nika HabarovaAugust 17, 2015Tastes better than Starbucks, but the coffee bean team is not that friendly. Don't forget to smile guys, it makes us like your place more
Brittney CannonDecember 10, 2019You can ask them to turn the fire pit on if it’s off, and they’ll do it right away!
Jinnie LOctober 24, 2014nice patio & fire pit for the chilly weather♥ white mocha with soy milk yum~ ;)
Sandi BoudreauApril 29, 2012Best coffee in town for a chain. Sit outside with the fire pits after a day at the beach.
Ashley MaterMarch 17, 2012Small soy dark chocolate mocha with an add shot if you're feeling crazy. Otherwise, a double espresso does the trick!
Motaz 🇬🇧🇺🇸🇸🇦📖🤓August 13, 2014Outdoor seating and the decorations not to mention the items and the drinks.

Tuesday, June 29th from 4pm-7pm. Complimentary 12oz. Iced Coffee, Iced Tea, or Iced Americano. Make sure you tip the Baristas, they work hard!
Jessie RJune 30, 2011The patio here is a great place to be outside but also work since there is free wifi.
Strawberries&Cream Latte. Delicious and requires no extra sugar.
Nik MoreJanuary 28, 2017Just skip it. No large cappuccino. Deserts are extinct and dry. Service horrible
They remember you and what you drink what else can you ask?

Brennan DeganApril 13, 2011Are you sad or lonely? Well then go across the street to the pet store and play with a puppy!
Lex KeatonJune 23, 2011one of my favorite places to sit and watch the sun come up and have my coffee
I like the English Breakfast Latès with liquid sugar. :-P
Buy the mayor a coffee and he'll be your friend for life. Or at least a day or so.
