★★★☆☆ 3.0 Marco Jimenez · Aug 2025

Been coming to this Bess Eaton drive thru for a couple years now. The staff seems nice and all. But I dont understand how every single time I order 2-3 donuts they're given to me stuffed into a bag upside down or facing to the sides like they were just tossed in. To the point where getting them out of the bag is a borderline surgical procedure just to keep the some of the frosting. There's been one or two occasions where they were given to me nice and neatly in individual containers that kept the donut looking like a donut. Can I have the person's name who does that? I want to add them to my Christmas card list.

Very great food! Amazing strawberry banana smoothie, 100% recommended! The bacon egg and cheese on a plain bagel is definitely a go-to. Very kind staff and welcoming environment!

This spot holds a special place in many hearts, offering a welcome caffeine boost throughout the day. The refreshing taste of iced coffee was a favorite pick-me-up for those early mornings and long afternoons. It became a familiar and comforting part of daily routines, a quick stop that made all the difference. Memories of shared laughter and whispered secrets still linger in the air, a testament to the power of a simple beverage to bring people together. It's amazing how certain places can transport us back in time, evoking a flood of nostalgia with just one sip. They still have the ice coffee called the tank. However, it is small than it used to be. And they don't have the good ice like they did years ago, which was pellet ice, but coffee itself was super fantastic. They have cinnam

Great Coffee and breakfast sandwiches. The staff is super friendly . Old timers sit inside and talk local events. I’ll definitely be back soon

★★★☆☆ 3.0 Gabriel Melendez · Apr 2024

I’m very disappointed that I have to leave this review. As, I choose these smaller coffee chain over the bigger competitors. The last two times I have used the drive thru, the staff have been short over the speaker. Which is uncommon as normally the afternoon staff are always friendly. But, what frustrated me was when I pulled up to the window there’s a sign on the window that says “we accept tips.” I’m all for tipping for good service. However, I don’t need it shoved in my face after poor service. Followed by handing me my bagel without a bag. I think as a customer if I’m paying X amount due to increase manufacturing pricing and expected to tip, I could at least get a small bag for my food.
