Walked in on a September afternoon - empty store except for a young man playing a racing game on Playstation (or something). He acknowledges me and asks me to be patient as he apparently is attempting to get to a convenient stopping point. I consider this a bold (pun unintended) move that means he is either an idiot as relates to customer service or supremely confident in his coffee making abilities. Having nowhere to go - I dont mind the short wait. This young man completes the course and asks me what I want. "A cappuccino and a vanilla latte." He asks me which is for me - I tell him the cappuccino. He asks me if I want it dry or wet and then patiently explains the difference. I ask for a "wet" cappuccino - he makes it and explains the "rules of the house". The "rules" state that if I dont like it - they pour it out and comp the next drink. He completes the cino and dares me to try it. Best damn cappuccino Ive ever had. Serious as a heart attack - this guy knows how to make coffee. He starts in on the latte - I grab a 6 oz. bag of Jamaican Blue and then make the fatal mistake of asking for some pointers. He starts in on the topic of coffee and I could have been there for three hours had he not had the presence of mind to stop himself. This employee has forgotten more about coffee than Ive ever known. The thing that I loved about this place was the fact that the person working there did not take the gratuitous pot-shots at Starbucks or any of that. He was awesome at what he did and that was enough. Excellent people do not find it necesary to belittle others. They let their excellence make the case. When you are in SPI - take the time to stop by this place. You will be glad you did. Great. Freaking. Coffee.

I was desperate for some coffee today while on vacation and was SUPER pleased with my visit. I felt terrible that this place seemed open from the hours posted online but actually they either have shortened hours or are closed on Sundays. I walked in to the shop and the owner happened to be there eating lunch, and when I realized they were not open I offered to leave but he not only insisted on making me a coffee but also walked me through the types of coffee and seemed very passionate about the whole process! I would highly recommend this place and will be going back.

Tony is exceptionally knowledgeable about coffee, and he has a fantastic guarantee. If you dont like your drink, he will make you a different one- no charge. This place has a great atmosphere. It has the basics in the way of syrups, but has a great variety of brewed coffees. It has everything from Jamaican Blue Mound and Hawaiian Kona to Sumatra Black. He uses only Bunn coffee makers which give his coffees a pure, wonderful flavor.

Better coffee than starbucks, seriously you need to stop there and taste for yourself. Staff & Owner were awesome. Very friendly gentlemen (whom I think is the owner), made us feel at home & wanting to go back even if its too chat. Ill miss this place since Im from way far in Miami. I want to thank him for the treatment.

The coffee here was amazing!! Definitely some of the best coffee I have ever had. Its a great environment, and the owner is extremely polite and helpful. I was undecided about what I wanted, I told him what I like and he made me the most amazing cup of coffee!! If there is a long line it is worth the wait!!!!!!

I have been on the island for a week and tried several times to visit this place but it was always closed. Finally I caught it open. It was quite a disappointment. My latte was weak, no flavor. Service was slow and bland. Im going to give this place one more shot and see.

Best coffee on the island! Tony is wonderful. We havent had a decent cup of coffee in Texas since we left. If it isnt open, its worth waiting around. The owner sometimes has to run out for supplies, but come back later--your coffee will be amazing.

Just tried to go and despite the hours posted online and their DOOR it is closed. Especially disappointed as they seem to be the only coffee place in the area that even reports to be open later on Sundays.

Great coffee, friendly staff, but painfully slow service. I waited close to 30mins to get 2 coffees and there were only 3 people in front of me. They seriously need to fix that if they want to grow

We arrived before the place opened and the gentleman quickly set us up with the Thurkis (I believe that was the spelling on the board) coffee. Oh my goodness that was a kick ass coffee!!

Super yummy drinks (I had fresh brewed tea, super delicious) and they even made a drink not on the menu for my boyfriend since we asked. The workers are amazingly nice too.

A true barista, he knows how to make coffee, great coffee, very relaxed atmosphere. He is on island time so if hes not open yet, come back in a bit. Well worth a visit

Dude was a local coffee god. They were out of a lot of the coffee we wanted but we got some free pastries as a sorry. Very friendly and the coffee was good.

Tried 2 different types of coffee not sold in other shops. Pretty underwhelming and average coffee. Nothing to write home about. 3 stars for good service
