Checked this place out for the first time today. It is a very nice shop! Family owned and operated and they are awesome! They went out of their way to make my custom request, and even modified it a few times until it was what I was looking for. My wife REALLY enjoyed her espresso ice cream and iced coffee as well. Great selection of snack cakes and sweets also. Today might have been my first visit, but it CERTAINLY won't be my last. This is a great addition to this community and I'm glad to have the opportunity to support them. I almost forgot to mention that they're open on Sunday which is rare for coffee shops in this area. The response said they put my drink on the menu. It was there for about a day. Then taken down and the recipe thrown away. Haven't been back since. My third visit on the fourth day was my last.

Fantastic road trip stop for quick food. Especially if you have gluten free folks along.

I travel from Texas to Jersey and back every year. Stopped here off of I-95 South, in Benson North Carolina. Was going to McDonald’s to get a mocha frappe but seen this place and thought I’d try it. It was the best drink I ever had. I am actually stalling, I filled all the fluids in my car so I’d have time to drink my frappe and go back and get another one for the road. It is insanely delicious. The Young lady-who works there ,CJ is professional and sweet. I watched her make my drink like an Artist .She is an asset to that Business. I watched her grind up everything. There were many steps.. The little shop Sells gluten-free Pastries, Sandwiches, ice cream and other foods. If I didn’t need gas, I wouldn’t have found it. i’d like to post a picture. It’s so pretty which makes it more enjoyable. I’m trying to post a picture, but I don’t seem to be able to.

Local coffee shop right off i95! Open through the week and on sundays! Offers an array of coffees and other items such as boba! Prices are reasonable as well. The service was quick and the atmosphere inside was really welcoming. Offers other local treats inside from local gluten-free bakery JPs. It’s connected to the gas station so it’s a one stop for everything !

Just moved back to the states after living in Asia. I have been on the hunt for boba in the area. Finally! Some decent matcha! I ordered a matcha latte with boba. The latte itself was fantastic. The boba could have been firmer but still good! I was also given a generous portion of boba which was nice! Will definitely be back.
