Cappuccino Cottage

This place went out of business and is now called Third Alarm Coffee. They roast their own coffee and its all organic. Great service and they give back to the community.

So relevant as the Weekly Unilocal is all about the java this week! Ok so first things first… The Dirty Blonde is White Chocolate and Caramel… it is early in the morning people, morning is not my finest few hours of the day.
Ok, so in the last post I mentioned that I was going to go back and try their range of Chai Lattes… I dropped my mom off at work and on my way back, I stopped at the Cottage. The lady is friendly, but she is on a mission as she is often dealing with a customer on each side of the cottage, so she has no problem moving you along. Personally I like that. Anyway I asked what the Good Morning Chai Latte was… wait for it… a Chai Latte with a shot of Espresso. Sign me up! So I ordered a Soy Good Morning Chai Latte. It is heaven! For me, I always have a struggle between my Chai Latte and Coffee (both for flavour and the caffeine), now, I can have my cake and eat it too! I thought it would taste weird, but it tastes… well it tastes like it was meant to be together. Then again I find that soy milk adds a nuttiness to Chai and coffee drinks and think that is just one of the things making this drink my new favourite. I don’t think there is any sweetener in the drink, but to be honest I don’t think it needs it. Delicious, you need to stop and get one!

Excellent service, and great prices. It is so convenient. And the people there are so friendly.
Coffe is great!

I love this little drive-​thru coffee house. I come here every week and order a decaf coffee with hazelnut. Their coffee is good and consistent every time which is hard to come by with decaf. Most people don’t buy decaf so it sits and gets old fast. No here though.
Prices are cheaper too than the large chain coffee houses.
Great customer service.
Very fast and convenient. Especial to mothers like me. I’m finding drive-​thrus are my new best friend.

I have nothing to complain about this coffee shop.
Taste: Better than Starbucks (I tried Living Room Café, Pannikin Coffee and Tea, and major coffee shop chains)
Price: Cheaper than other coffee shops
Service: Quick and Friendly
You just have to try it :)

CLOSED– ;-(.
Not as expensive as Starbucks, much faster (love the drive-​thru) and always friendly staff.

Mmmm coffee… my favorite part of the day :) a couple months ago I found this place and I love it! The baristas are quick and super friendly. Oh, and they remember my drink – now that’s what I call service!
Where else can you find quality coffee and amazing service so quickly and conveniently? And did I mention that the price is better than Starbucks?!?
Try this place, trust me :)

This place has gotten so much better under the new ownership. I had previously tried to go here for coffee a couple times and was unimpressed, to say the least. Now that the new owners have taken charge the coffee has definitely bumped up a few notches and I’ve gone back several times. Always quick, baristas are friendly and knowledgeable, and the prices beat Starbucks. Not to mention really convenient :)

You will always get a smile and your coffee here. MMMMM Mexican Mocha is the best!!!

Always quick and delicious, barristas are friendly and professional. The one in Poway is just as good, too.

It’s quick and it’s cheap, but I didn’t particularly like the coffee. I’ve only been here once though and ordered just coffee. I haven’t tried anything else.

Excellent barristas. Quick in and out. Very good ocffee

Fast, friendly service and great drinks — which, by the way, are less expensive than Starbucks! When the baristas get to know your drink, it could be ready before you drive up to the window! Impressive service!

I happen to love this place.
It’s a very cute little double drive-​through — you can get coffee, tea, smoothies, and a few baked goods here. The drinks are consistently good, and I think they’re a little cheaper than the other local coffee houses. Quick, not usually even a wait.
I loooove their white raspberry mocha if I am on a sweet kick. :)
