I was very pleasantly surprised. I ordered a breve which was absolutely delicious and that means something coming from an owner of a 5 star rated coffee shop in Torrey Utah. Both girls were very friendly.

This was my first time trying out this location. I ordered a chai tea but not only did I have choice of served chilled or hot. I have so many different flavors to choose from. The taste was rich and smooth. Then she asked if I wanted chocolate covered coffee beans for free. I tried them and those were a delicious snack. Gave me a slight boost of energy. I also ordered a pecan roll which was gourmet. It tasted great. Just wish I would have asked her to warm it up slightly. Overall the drink, service, and attitude of the employee was great.

Delicious as usual. Still the best place in Kenai for espresso drinks. Maybe the best place on the peninsula. Building could use a little repair and sprucing up inside and out, but it certainly doesn't affect the drinks!
