  • “Delicious. Didn't realize it was just a drive thru until I got there. Love the coffee slush. Line was pretty long but moved fast.”

  • “They never open the inside, so if you’re walking or on a bike you have to stand in line with moving vehicles! At least have a separate window if you’re not going to open the inside. Wasn’t satisfied.”
