| - I'm one of those annoying coffee snobs you would roll your eyes at. I worked at Starbucks for over 6 years and earned my black "Coffeemaster" apron when you actually had to learn to earn it. Are you rolling your eyes yet???
I know good coffee, and maybe 3 or 4 years ago, I learned that as much I love my old job at SBUX, I would rather put my money in local independent coffee shops. So yes, I've evolved into one of "those" coffee snobs.
Holley's Cuppa is great coffee!!! I've enjoyed a piping cup of drip coffee, guzzled an iced chai and sipped an iced white latte. While all were certainly memorable, the drip coffee is my favorite. Individually brewed obviously means a fresh cup every time - but it's more than that. It's just great coffee.
The service is definitely a standout here. All genuine smiley faces, all knowledgable and quick to help you navigate through your caffeine fixes.
Holley herself, is quite remarkable (I encourage people to read about her - it's a great story, but I won't go into it here).
The store is quite cozy. Couches, Comfy chairs, with games and magazines. Walking in the place could easily make you feel like having a lazy Sunday afternoon any day of the week.
This is easiest 5 stars I've given so far in my yelp-hood. The quality of their product is equally matched with the genuine 5-star service. Whether you are buzzing through the drive through, stopping by for some coffee for the road, or whether you are there for the "coffee shop" experience -- the coffee and service are consistently the best I've had in the city. I highly recommend it to all the other coffee snobs out there. You won't be disappointed.
