It was really busy here when we came, which should be a good sign, however my drink was not made the way I asked. I asked for decaf and they clearly made it with caffeine. I like coffee but I really can't have caffeine, I feel really sick and nauseous, I get really bad headaches and I feel like I'm going to vomit. This is how I felt after drinking the coffee they served me. For some reason I run into this problem a lot, what's the deal, is it harder to make decaf? I'm not sure I want to go back to a place that would rather take shortcuts than accommodate a customer's request.

An awesome place in the South side to study or work. Their WiFi is pretty good.I ordered the avocado toast and it was delicious: plenty of avocado and a good quality slice of bread.Flags of various countries hang unobtrusively from the ceiling which is a nice touch, and this place also connected to a Half Price Books.

They even have some sugar free flavors! Skim milk, YES! Very good hot, cold coffee, latte's, frappes, cappuccino. Delicious bakery goods. Lots of tables and they don't mind you setting for a while. All flavors or coffee and get this they sell the burlap bags the coffee comes in. They are so cool! And the prices aren't bad at all. ? Love this place.

Went in since I was in the area. Ordered a regular sized cafe latte. Barista started to make my drink. Then another woman told me the price. I handed them my debit card and was told that it’s a cash only establishment and that they have an atm to withdraw cash. I said no never mind then. (I don’t want to spend extra money on atm fees)I walked away towards half price books and the lady spoke up loudly: “sir you can bring us cash back for the drink” I just ignored and kept walking but don’t try to embarrass me in front of other customers because I don’t have cash on hand.It’s fine that you’re a cash only establishment but Maybe you should say up front before making a drink that it’s cash only.Why cash only? Only report so much income to IRS? Just a thought…

Whenever me and my family visit corpus we always make sure to stop here, great food and omg the sugar free mandarin cake is to die for !!!!! Also got lots of good coffee drink choices

Very cute cafe. The cashier was this very sweet older woman who was excited to tell me all about the place and their coffee. She said they roast their own coffee beans and make their own baked goods. They also have bagels and I think I saw a bagel sandwich. I just got a cold brew coffee with macadamia nut syrup and soy milk. I was very happy to find out they had soy milk and almond milk. I’ll be back ?

I love to try new coffee places and I'm glad I stopped here. The coffee was amazing and the pecan waffles were on point.

I always end up getting the Buzz Wiser every time. The employees are friendly. Never seen the place a mess. Prices are easy on the wallet. My favorite place when it gets cold.
