Zooks is definitely my favorite coffee shop I’ve been to! I’ve always had a great experience there, with fast service and delicious coffee and food! My favorites are probably the salty dog or honey bee! The asiago bagel is definitely my go to for food and have never been disappointed. I’ve also tried the coffee flight here which I highly recommend! Just make sure to have reservations for the flight!
The coffee and food is amazing! The croissant breakfast sandwich with some avocado is my go-to, and when I’m not in the mood for any of the amazing seasonal drinks, I default to either the Salty Dog, or the Lucette I stopped in the other day to see if they would consider a donation to my school for a fundraiser and their manager was not only quick to reply the next day, but the barista even offered a free drink when my Apple Pay wasn’t working. My only complaint is that they have a side room that would be great for meetings, but it has supplies in it and kinda takes from the vibe.
I have been coming to Zooks since they opened and have always had wonderful coffee. The flights are worth it and so fun to do. Make a reservation for those. My new favorite brew from Zooks is Blondie Macchiato. I use the app for a more complete menu as the drive up menu does not capture all of their wonderful brews! When we do order food it is always great!
Cute coffee shop with delicious coffee!! I ordered the coffee flight with Salty Dog cold brew, iced chocolate mousse latte, mermaid tears energy and just beachy energy. The Just Beachy was my favorite, and the perfect drink for a summers day!! The flights to need a reservation, but if they are slow they are willing to accommodate. 10/10 worth the drive from Sioux Falls for a cute coffee stop!!
When my wife and I stopped for our first time here i wanted to get a flight. I was disappointed to hear i should make a reservation. So I contacted management and told them about my situation. They apologized and had told some workers were out because of being ill and reassuring me if I make a reservation for a flight I would not regret it, so I did just that. When I returned and got my flight, noted in pictures, you can plainly see the dedication and time it took to make such a beautiful board and a tasty set of drinks. And I'll tell you right now without a doubt that the breakfast sandwich here is absolutely one of the best I have ever had in a long time... well ever. This is my favorite and I've tried lots of them from las Vegas to atlantic city in New Jersey. So now I tell you make a reservation for a flight and some breakfast you will not be let down. Thank you guys. I've returned since and will continue to do so.
