| - Just so-so for a coffee place. There's a nice atmosphere and plenty of space if you wanted to study or chat with friends. The biggest problem though are the drinks. When a large chain like Starbucks or the independently owned coffee place that took up residence in your previous location has you beat on pricing, there had better be some mind blowing quality to back it up. Sadly, I was disappointed in the results.
For two tall (12oz) iced drinks we spent $10, and a dollar of which was just for the ice! Seriously, there's no reason to charge an extra $0.50 just to ice my drink down and so far this is the only place that charges extra for a cold drink. As for the pricing, I could walk out of most other coffee places with a Venti (20oz) or more for that price. Still though, I was hopeful in the quality of the coffee.
There's a unique combination of flavored mochas that you can order like the Milky Way Mocha, the Almond Joy mocha, and Black Forest Mocha just to name a few. The flavors sound great in thought but in practice there wasn't much to write home about. I got the Milky Way mocha since the combination of white chocolate, dark chocolate, and caramel sounded like a good mix. Would have been better of asking for an espresso in a glass of milk because that's mostly what I got. None of the other flavors were present except for coffee laced milk. Now I know that's what most of these mocha drinks are but at least there's a hint of the flavor that was ordered. Not a bit of it in this one.
I'm not sure how their black coffee is so for the manic coffee only drinkers, I can't speak to the quality of their brew. But I can say that $5 for 12oz of milk is way too much. I may try Gold Bar again sometime, but won't be for a while
