"Absolutely wonderful customer service, delicious fresh drinks and great atmosphere. I also love that they have their own rewards program. I've already been back twice and it's been an enjoyable experience each time. They also have a drive through which I am super stoked about! Now I don't always have to come in if I'm in a hurry or have a van full of kiddos"

"First time visit of this locally owned coffee shop. Very nice owners and a nice place to grab coffee, a biscuit or sweets. The iced white chocolate mocha tasted great and not jammed packed with ice so you get a good cup full at a reasonable price. The sausage biscuit was tasty even at 3 on the afternoon. Drive thru not opened yet but plenty of parking out front. This place is a little out of the way down the hill across AJ highway from TVA credit union. Check them out and buy local."
