So I've been eating to try this place for the longest time. The thing that REALLY pushed me to go though? A news story about another location who went above and much beyond the call of duty of a valley family this past Christmas when they found out one of the family's youngest members were sick and in the hospital again. They hooked mom up (loyal customer) with a gift card to last a couple weeks of coffee and then delivered gifts to the little one in the hospital. That story alone was my push to try it out!
I was sitting in the car trying to figure what the hell to get when a barista came out and asked me what I was ordering. I quickly advised I was a newbie and she kindly directed me to the window where another amazeball barista would help me pick something out. She was so sweet and helped me choose what I wanted. We cracked some jokes amongst ourselves and the other baristas inside (apparently you can put whipped cream on ANYTHiNG...hence the topping on my straw...inside joke). Anyway, after she learned that it was my first time, she quickly punched a card for me and almost filled it up all the way (still gotta spend a tiny bit more before I get a freebie), but guess what?! Only more incentive to keep me coming back. Great service and good coffee. Though I can't afford to be a daily or even weekly customer, it will certainly be an amazing treat when o do get the chance!
