Awesome place, staff was knowledgeable and experienced in coffee and chocolate. Coffee was amazing. Chocolate was also tasty. Definitely worth every dollar.
My wife and I were excited to finally try out the new coffeehouse in Auburndale. Well our excitement soon ended. I get it, it’s a new business, hasn’t been opened very long but you have to at least make sure you give some proper training to new employees before just cutting them loose. My wife ordered one of their seasonal lattes and I ordered just a flat white. I’d say we waited at least 10-15 minutes for our drinks, and unfortunately got to watch the whole process. Mind you, it was about 3:15 in the afternoon and wasn’t busy at the time. The poor kid attempting to make the drinks looked completely frazzled. Not only was he struggling with how to make the drinks, he kept scratching at his hair, wiping his hands off on the back of his jeans, then picking up our cups by the rims as he added ingredients. When we were finally called to get our drinks, my wife was told they didn’t have the candy cane topping that was supposed to go on top of her drink. Would have been nice to know that when she ordered because she would have ordered something else but we were definitely not going to wait any longer. Her latte had no flavor what so ever and my flat white was lukewarm warm at best. I hope someone reads this and gives the employees some proper training to include hygiene while working. I hope it improves because it’s great to finally get something here in Auburndale.
I met a friend for coffee on a Saturday morning. I have been missing out! Super awesome staff, fun environment, and the coffee was amazing. I had a vanilla sugar free latte and I didnt even miss the sugar...the syrup was phenomenal. The coffee.was so delicious and the barista did a beautiful art on the top. My friend got a hot.caramel apple cidar and she said it was so yummy. There isn't a TON of indoor seating but my friend and I sat outside. Due to the season, they had a little area set up with pumpkins so that was cute. I highly recommend giving this shop a try!
Haven coffee is worth a drive if you are not local. I grew up in WH in the 70’s and 80’s and trust me there was no really good coffee. I used to only go to Haven to treat myself to one of their delicious iced lattes. Now I only buy their ground coffee to make every day at home. I live way out in a pasture and it’s part of my morning ritual now.
Haven Coffee Roasters is a nice coffee shop in Downtown Winter Haven Pros: Close to other shops, nice atmosphere and mural painting, friendly and attentive staff, reasonable prices Cons: Limited amount of indoor seating, somewhat limited menu; I also got a specialty drink and could not taste the butterscotch flavoring at all
