True. There was nobody there in any of the parking places when I drove through. I stopped by Coffee Depot on my way out of town and it was packed. Not sure if those 30 minute parking signs are the difference or just happenstance.
True to all that. Drive through coffee stands seem to do well, 7 Brew is a new drive thru chain down here that is killing it.
I remember that old dude in his light blue jacket.
A Dutch Brothers recently opened a couple miles from my house. Not only is it the friendliest place I've ever been, the coffee is really good (as opposed to the burnt taste of Starbucks). It's my new go-to coffee place. They have all sorts of "fancy" concoctions, but I always just stay with plain Americano, black. I've forgotten what they call their baristas, but it's not baristas.
There’s a 7Brew and Dutch Bros about 5 mins from my house. They’re right across the street from each other and always have a line. The girls at 7Brew are specifically cute, but unfortunately, they are not wearing bikinis.
you know they take their signage seriously
Yep, I won't go there any day because of the difficulty getting in and out of there.
was going to waffle house at 10 the other night and 7 brew had a full drive thru line
It was odd that the Strangebrew that was easy to get to on the corner of N. Montgomery and University didn't last long at all. According to a guy I knew that worked there that one didn't last because of parking also. But, it was the metered parking app you had to use on your phone and SPD writing tickets on both of those streets that did them in, that's what he told me anyway, nobody wanted to fool with having to do that to get a cup of coffee or keep going back outside to use the app and swipe the card.
Downtown Starkville installing those parking timers to get an extra $50 a day was pathetic and still is incredibly stupid. SPD would rather monitor if you’ve been sitting there for 31 minutes instead of dealing with actual crime
Starbucks coffee is ***. I don't even know how they made it as a company. Dunkin is good coffee, we get their original whole bean for our home brewing. CC's down here in Louisiana is really solid and would be my first stop if I'm getting coffee out. There are a couple 7Brews around here and I've enjoyed what I've had from there.
We used to just park in the huge parking lot right behind it when it was downtown. Used to go everytime we were in Starkville but I've only been to the gas station location once and will not go back. It's just too difficult.
Agree on SB's coffee - you just about have to put a bunch of cream in it. I'm typically good with black coffee but theirs tastes like asphalt. And it could just be me, but the caffeine content puts me into orbit. I do enjoy their espresso and it oddly doesn't give me the jitters like the coffee.
I'm still out in Midland working for an oil company and I legit saw a group of 4 dudes pile into the table next to me at Fried Catfish day at a local eatery, each had a 6 pack in a bucket, they were out the door in 45 minutes and all of those beers were gone. I was impressed, pretty sure they got beers at the bar for the drive back to the job site.
