Took awhile to make the drinks and dealt with 2 different ladies and felt both didn’t communicate clearly and was shocked when our total came to $15.50. This was for two 16oz strawberry smoothies one infused with redbull and a blueberry muffin. It would have been nice to know that there would be a $3.50 charge for the redbull for the infused drink. I will not be going back the drinks weren’t good and the muffin tasted rotten. This is the worst coffee stand I’ve ever been too.

Stars & Stripes Espresso – Menu with Prices – 9122 Evergreen Way #7118, Everett

I stopped by there a couple weeks ago and the girl that was helping me was Katrina I was not happy with her service I ordered a 32 ounce strawberry Redbull Italian soda with no creams whatsoever I told her no ice she still put ice in it and then she got an attitude when I told her I didn’t want any ice that’s not my fault you weren’t listening and obviously you have a hard time multitasking with two customers so she took the ice out of it but there was still like 25 to 30% of emptiness in my cup she could’ve gave me more strawberry or more club soda or something how are you just going to charge me seven or eight dollars for that big ass cup and it’s like empty and you’re gonna tell me that’s how it goes that’s bullshit I don’t appreciate that whatsoever I did call back two days after I visited there and spoke to another female forgot her name I ask her to remake my drink because I wasn’t happy with the way the other girl made it and then this girl made it the same way I went to a store and bought another Redbull to top off my drink I just won’t ever return to this coffee stand and I making the word go around that this coffee stand sucks the girls that work there just rude and they don’t really give a shit about your drinks all they want is tips I don’t think so! Not a happy customer I’ll never be back!

Le Gourmet Grind – Menu with Prices – 13027 19th Ave SE, Everett

Came here today with my cousin after we had just gone to the second Buffalo Stand near Penny Creek Elementary and were disappointed with our Lucky Charms. I think our barista there forgot to put any syrup in it so it tasted like your typical bitter coffee which I nor my cousin like. The spot itself is a bit odd and is on a higher plane so it’s a bit awkward driving up. The barista here was very friendly and we asked her to throw out our coffees from the other stand and she asked us why we’re getting so many coffees. We told her how we were just coming from another stand where we didn’t like how they turned out. She made us our drinks and though it was ten times better than the other stand, it still tasted just a bit odd but it wasn’t a big deal. After hearing our story, she even docked off .50 cents from our order and honestly, though that’s a small amount, we were honestly so surprised (in a good way) and so thankful to her. It made me tip 30% just because of her friendliness and great service. I will be coming here again soon for a coffee or Redbull run and hope to get the same service from whoever may be working that day.

47th Espresso and Drip Coffee – Menu with Prices – 47th St, Everett

RANT Warning 47th Expresso & Drip Coffee is a rip off . I paid 5.00+ for a 24 oz iced strawberry mango RedBull no cream no whip. Not only can I get a 32oz for 5.00$ (even)at one of my usual spots (which isn’t a problem was in a different area thought I’d give it a try) (this is my problem) I took literally 4 sips & my drink was gone. I can say for a fact she didn’t use a full can of RedBull and it was all ice. I order these pretty often & it can take me awhile to even finish a 20oz so for me to finish it within a block radius says a lot ! I won’t be returning & thought people should know they’re getting stiffed on their drinks !

Coffee Junction Menu with Prices 401 Harris Ave, Bellingham

The worst customer service I’ve ever had anywhere. I am not a complainer or even a fussy customer, but wow, for the first time ever I really was so pissed and offended. We got coffee here before our train trip. There was one barista; she was alone and busting her ass, so I gave her a 40% tip. After taking a couple sips of my coffee and having to open it and check to see if there was actually espresso shots in it (or if maybe she had forgotten them) AND having my sister taste it to see if I was just being a coffee snob, I brough it back to the barista to see if I could get a new drink, because mine tasted like water. She extremely rude and defensively said “it’s an americano… it has water in it.” I very politely explained, “yes, but it doesnt taste like coffee at all.” At this point she stopped making eye contact with me, said “what do you want?” Trying to not to be ‘that customer’ I asked for a drip, thinking that was a good deal because it was half the price. She didnt even respond to me, as she got it. I asked if it was ok if I still get a pump of hazelnut in it. She said “yup” still not looking at me, put the pump and a lid on it, handing it to me, I said thank you, then she told me it would be $1.90. This is where I started to get pissed. Clearly confused and upset I said “I’m sorry, you’re going to charge me…?” In a super condescending voice she laughed our, ” I cant just give you free coffee.” (Which she had literally just done, topping off the mans cup, in front of me). I tossed my card on the counter. She ran it and had the nerve to toss it back. I didnt have the time or restraint to give her a piece of my mind so I left. I will NEVER get coffee here again. Not because their coffee is gross, but because I have never experienced such hostility from someone when I’m nicely and apologetically asking for a replacement for an item I PAID FOR. Luckily all the train employees were fantastically nice and really redeemed the experience. But wow.

Fairfax Bakery – Menu with Prices – 11211 Lee Hwy J, Fairfax

Out of the ashes of My Favorite Muffin comes a bakery serving muffins so fresh, so delicious, you will find it really hard to resist. Unfortunately, My Favorite Muffin is no more, as the previous owner sold the business to other people. As a result they are not part of the My Favorite Muffin corporation, but the muffins are still similar to what you would expect to see at a My Favorite Muffin cafe. The new cafe may not have the punch card this one had, but the service is better! I was greeted by a cute George Mason University student who could not have been more knowledgeable and helpful concerning what I wanted. Yes, I love muffins. I got a full box of nine to go, plus a banana. All the muffins look plump, fresh, and cooked to perfection. No attacking the previous ownership, but while I loved their muffins, once you ate the tops, the “stumps”, or the bottom portion of the muffin, was hit or miss when it came to how done it looked. I just ate two of them, their Oreo and Blueberry flavor. The Oreo is fantastic! Chunks of Oreo cookie in every bite. The Blueberry one was decent, but a bit too dense and rich in the fruit. Maybe this one is one to avoid next time. There is more to be tried, but I can tell they are going to be fun to eat over and over again. Hooray for good muffins! Out of the darkness and into the light.

Healthies Indy – Menu with Prices – 11915 Pendleton Pike, Indianapolis

Healthies is super cute and has a fun aesthetic. The owners are nice and the staff was friendly, which is always an added bonus. Located in Lawrence (on Indy’s northeast side), this new spot is locally owned and operated. They offer a variety of teas and smoothies. Teas range from flavors such as: açaí berry, raspberry lemonade, passion fruit, and sour punch straw. The smoothies have flavors like: white chocolate Twix, blueberry muffin, peanut butter pie, salted caramel mocha, etc. You can add things like protein, collagen, fiber and probiotics to your drinks and they’re supposed to be a substitute for a meal. However, the name Healthies is a bit deceiving, as the shakes have 10g of sugar and I was told that the tea has zero grams of sugar, yet it was incredibly sweet which took me aback a bit (trying to cut way back on sugar). I’d love, love to have a few actually healthy juices/smoothies that are low in sugar (or the sweet added syrup) in addition to having the good things available like protein. They already make cool combinations here, so it’s definitely possible- substituting sugar for fruit! Congrats on the new biz and the awesome reviews! Excited to send more people your way!

Jubilee Roasting Co. Menu with Prices 1452 Kenton St, Aurora

My boyfriend and I were recently in Aurora for the first time and wanted coffee/tea, so we ended up at Jubilee. The inside is super cute and was very busy; they also have outside seating. Between the two of us we ordered the ham&cheese croissant, cinnamon bun muffin, chai tea latte, coffee, and a specialty drink (I can’t remember the name). Food: The croissant and muffin were good – good sizes and tasty. Definitely get them both heated, although if you are sitting outside on an October morning they will get cold quickly. Drinks: I am not a coffee drinker, but my boyfriend said that this is probably the best coffee he’s ever had… and he drinks a lot of coffee! They have an option to do a bottomless mug if you plan to stay there, which is definitely the route to go. He did not do that and regretted it shortly after, so he ended up going back in to get the bottomless. I got the chai latte w/oat milk. Their chai is on the milkier side rather than spicy, but it is still delicious! The specialty drink I got was called the Camp Dance or something like that – a mix of chai and apple cider and spices steamed together. It is SO good and the perfect fall drink!! We love Jubilee so much we wanted to go back, but it is closed on Sundays.

Mugsy’s Coffee Co M2 – Menu with Prices – 620 Dunlop Ln #123, Clarksville

One of my favorite…ok.probably my favorite coffee shop for coffee drinks in Clarksville. I LOVE that they have so many sugar free flavored syrups for you to choose from! My favorite, so far, is coconut! Love me some coconut. I usually get a scone too. Today I had a morning glory muffin…it was basically carrot cake without the frosting..loaded with carrots, raisins, coconut, walnuts and (I think?) pineapple. I’m gonna say something…and it may sound mean..but it’s not..I’m just being descriptive. The scones and the muffins I’ve had there are always very brown. Not burnt, but pretty brown. Carmelized. But guess what? THAT’S OK WITH ME! I am that person who likes the corner pieces, the cookies that are a hair overdone…that’s the way I like them. Only once has a scone been a little too done even for me…ONCE. I’ve had blueberry, white chocolate raspberry and apple scones. I think the white chocolate raspberry is my favorite. Their scones are hearty, not like those sad “I can’t decide if I’m cake or a biscuit” type scones some places serve. I don’t mind if you wanna sell me a blueberry muffin…just don’t try to pass it off as a scone because you cut it in a triangle. But, alas, there is a sadness in my heart..they’re closed on Sundays. If you’re wanting your Mugsy’s on Sunday…buy an extra on Saturday and heat it up on Sunday. Problem solved.

The 86 (Uptown) – Menu with Prices – 2900 Jefferson Ave, Cincinnati

Won’t find a more hospitable place to sit and have a cup of coffee. The message and story of how the 86 came to be is itself heartwarming. And if that doesn’t make you feel warm inside the coffee definitely will. A great hidden gem of Cincinnati. Coffee/Food: I tend to just have coffee drinks at a coffee places rather than baked goods but I tried the recommendation of the banana bread and it tasted good. However, a coffee place is only as good as it’s drip coffee and this place has great coffee. To not drink it black is to mask the experience of great coffee. The lattes, smoothies, Italian sodas, and chai drinks are simply great and for a fair price. Service: Simply the best. Other coffee places should learn from their hospitality. A very welcoming bunch of workers. And many of those workers are actually volunteers! They even serve free pancakes on Wednesday mornings! They really stand out in terms of service for their community. Facility: Fantastic atmosphere. They hang up local artist’s work around their coffee place. The music is inviting and welcomes you to the warm atmosphere. There is plenty of seating both downstairs and upstairs. It is located right by the UC, so if you are a student wanting to find a place to study then look no further. PLUS, you can occasionally watch and smell the roasters actually roast the coffee beans on the first floor! Seriously, this place has the best atmosphere.

Juice It Up! – Menu with Prices – 28164 Newhall Ranch Rd, Valencia

Great smoothies and raw juices it all smells wonderful in here. Only been at a Juice It Up once before and what’s not to like? Energy shots, acai fruit bowls, boosts and non-dairy smoothies galore. That’s why the lines here are quite long during lunch rush especially in the SCV. I’ve seen the patrons while shopping at the Office Depot across the way sweat it out for their drinks. Today I felt like having their Pitaya smoothie and it was perfect. A sweet, superfruit drink to brighten up your day. It’s stark pink so be careful it might stain if you get it on your clothes. The only thing I have to say is that the music today was quite loud I could barely communicate with the guy behind the register taking my order. There was a lot of “what?”, “I’m sorry what was that again?” back and forth. They may want to consider volume control. The parking lot here can get crowded considering there are quite a few eateries (Panda Express, Togos, Starbucks, Chipotle, Little Ceasars) in the strip mall where its located. Other than that, it’s nice that we have a selection of juice shops in the area.

The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co. Menu with Prices 22191 Powerline Rd, Boca Raton

Unbelievable how quickly Brooklyn Water Bagel stores have gone downhill. The increased level of incompetence with the staff and lack of cleanliness is mind-blowing. This morning, I asked for one kind of muffin and a coffee. The coffee station had spilled coffee all over the counter and along the floor in front of the containers. Two of the coffee containers were empty. Then going over to get cream and sugar, there is sugar all over the counter as well as more spilled cream and something else on the floor as well. Last portion of the rant, I get to my office with my brown bag that’s holding my muffin. I open the bag to enjoy my muffin at my desk and it’s a completely different muffin than what I asked for! Are you kidding? If the muffin weren’t incredibly dry and tasteless, I might not be as upset, but this thing was horrible. Thanks, BWB….you just lost another local customer.
