Coffee Nine

Stayed at a friend’s house in Ben Lomond & stopped here on our way out of town. Holy amazeballs they have the best bagels I’ve ever tasted in my life! Their food is top shelf & I will be dreaming about their drip coffee and lattes.

Bland excuse for a coffee shop. If you like coffee flavored bean water and overpriced cold food that’s supposed to be hot, this is the perfect place for you! It is not the same coffee shop as it was in the past, even if you walked in with little to no expectation you would still be disappointed. Walked in with my husband, was ignored by staff who were not actively busy, had to wave profusely to get anyone’s attention. The owner finally looked up and went to the counter to take my order, no greeting, just a blank, hollow stare. This was so unsettling, that I asked him how HE was doing, nothing but a mutter. Oh well, we all have bad days. Went ahead and ordered a Cold brew, which is $6 plus tax, plus cup fee. It’s 8oz of ice and 3oz of coffee in a 16oz cup (yes I measured it, brought to you by my autism). It is amber colored like a tea, not black. The breakfast burrito was tiny, the potatoes were cold and tasted like they were cooked 3-4 days in advance. As a pregnant woman and a chef, this is exactly how you get people sick - serving old and untemped food. I asked for the bathroom key and the owner was very adamant that I needed to return it when I was done as if I looked like I was gonna steal it. All in all, I did not appreciate the third class “service” at this “coffee” shop. They serve equator coffee purchased from Amazon with no clue of the origin and a bad attitude. Do better or sell it to an actual local who knows what they’re doing.

Stopped here early Saturday morning — they were already open. Fresh pastries and sandwiches made right on the spot. Cozy inside, smells like home baking. A few parking spots right in front of the café. Seating available both inside and outside. Perfect little stop to grab coffee and something warm before hitting the road.

Came here on vacation, very happy we did! Food was very good, made fresh and was very flavorful! Highly recommend checking it out, I got the works burrito which was very tasty!

Great coffee in a well run establishment with. Good range of pastries and snacks. Zucchini slice was magnificent.
