★★★☆☆ 3.0 Astevia Gonzalez · Mar 2026

4 stars for the coffee, smoothies, clean and pretty venue, and for being dog friendly. But 3 stars for service. I visited last September and had a great experience but this recent visit, the staff wasn’t very friendly. They weren’t rude, just not warm or welcoming. No hellos and thank yous. Just “what can I get you?” And literally that’s it. I wasn’t even sure my payment was done processing because the lady taking my order just walked away. Just weird. Hopefully they were just having a bad day. However, their coffee is worth a return visit if you don’t care for pleasantries. My favorite is their Drops of Jupiter which is vanilla, cinnamon and honey. I always get my kids something decaf or a smoothie and those are great too.

I don't like to leave poor reviews because I am also in the service industry but I would really encourage the manager or owner to help their girls in terms of training. They were really struggling with frothing the milk (which I know from experience can be difficult!) And pulling shots of espresso. This appeared to be due to a lack of training in proper technique and I felt bad for them! Our two coffees (latte + specialty iced drink) were not of a great quality as a result and were not flavorful. My latte was just hot milk with no foam (I got almond milk, but as a barista, almond milk is easy to foam in my experience) and my partner's iced latte seemed to have been remade a few times due to errors. Very nice girls and comfy interior. Maybe an off day?

Stir It Up is a great local coffee shop. We dropped in for a cup of coffee and really enjoyed the place. This place is the definition of a small coffee shop. Inside has some great decorations with tables and chair scattered everywhere. They have an expansive menu with non-milk options if you're lactose intolerant. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable with the menu. We ordered a white chocolate mocha and hot Americano. Both had a great flavor and were easy to drink. We'd definitely return to this coffee shop.

I read the reviews before I went this am. Pleasant young lady at register took my order. I bought the last two bagels and a latte and a chai latte. I let her know I wanted them toasted dark with cream cheese. She politely pointed to the toasters on the counter for diy. I said ok. She asked me did I want cream cheese. I said yes. She told me my total and I had to check if she accidentally doubled my bagel order but after I paid the bill with my tip I read the receipt and saw I paid 4.25 for bagel and 1.75 extra for cream cheese times two. So $30 for two bagels and two lattes. They bagged up my diy bagel kit. I went to toaster counter toasted my bagels and went back to my room to eat them. I spread the cold cream cheese on the bagels and the cream cheese I paid 1.75 for disappeared. It was b

Cool little coffee shop inside a pet supply store. They have great latte flavor choices and friendly staff. They even have pup cups for your pet. You might even run into a furry friend while you’re here. There are no outlets so if you’re planning to work remotely here make sure to bring your laptop fully charged. Good place to get your caffeine fix.
