Black-owned!!!
First, I'd like to thank you for hosting this event for us Yelper's, it was greatly appreciated! I haven't been to that side of town in a long time, it's great to see how much it has grown.
From the outside, you can only imagine what it'll look like on the inside, but I was pleasantly surprised when entering. The space was open, and the first thing that caught my attention was the plants. I'm a lover of indoor plants, I feel they bring so much to a space. I love the color scheme as well, it all seems to balance the space and mood. I will admit, I missed the smell of coffee hitting me in the face as I walked in, but there weren't many people there and I'm sure that's why.
From what I'm gathering, this is a coffee-heavy establishment. I didn't see anything that brought attention to their teas or frappes, but I believe I missed that menu due to it being hidden behind two other menus. That should be corrected, I had no idea there was a separate menu until one of the other Yelpers mentioned it, after the fact. I'll take responsibility for that as well, I should have asked. I did mention, that I'm not a coffee drinker, and described a drink that was mentioned in a review when I mentioned that to the young lady. Again, I mentioned I don't like coffee, but what was suggested and what I was served, was coffee. I did enjoy the strawberry sweet foam, but I couldn't get past that and threw it away.
The star of the visit, that dang Croffle!
It was so buttery, flaky, warm, and drizzled with syrup. This was so good, if they were closer, I'd love to stop by and take a dozen to work for a Friday treat. Seriously, you MUST add one to your list when visiting, next.
Overall, I enjoyed this visit and when on that side of town, I'll stop by for a Croffle!
I will agree with my fellow reviewer, that it may be beneficial to hire a second person to help the young lady at the counter. She's so sweet, but I'm sure when busy, things can get a bit uncomfortable for her. That will also free up Billie, he's so proud of his venture and and has a story to tell. Being able to do that without having to go back and forth, would be a great thing for him.
Check them out, and don't forget your CROFFLE!!!
