Wonderful!! Friendly! Homemade flavors like coconut. Mask and covid safety. Lovely lemon blueberry scone. Cool university vibe. Prefer over iron bar for coffee, price, uniqueness, and supporting local ordinances. Thank you!!

Each time we travel, we make it a point to support local establishments so we found our way here. The flavored coffee varieties has us intrigued but it was just too much. Too sweet and too artificial. The food was dry and bland. Not at...all impressed. The staff wasn't near as friendly as other places we had visited.More

Prior to this I had only been to the Iron Bank. While Iron Bank is good, I don't find them to be quite as friendly and welcoming as Fountain City. They take their craft seriously at Fountain City. While taking the first sip of my...cortado the barista said that he noticed his shots seemed a little off and offered to make me another. I was impressed that he was that into his job to offer this without me even really noticing anything. They have a full breakfast menu and nice vibe for enjoying your cup of joe.More

Great shop with friendly staff. Were there early so not too busy but the lined did get long later in the day. We drank our coffee on the patio and chatted with some locals. Had espresso drinks and a muffin.

I've been here a few times now, but have only ever gotten coffee- which has been fine. If you don't want to wait in line at Iron Bank for coffee, I would recommend you go here. However--- do not go here for the food! I...went with a friend and we both ordered paninis. After waiting TWENTY-FIVE minutes when the shop had maybe one other customer waiting for food, they finally brought out the sandwiches. After that wait, we were expecting something amazing! Instead, we got the sandwiches thrown on to two plates with absolutely nothing else on it. It was the most tasteless sandwich I've ever had, and I ordered the Caprese panini, which is something I've had on countless occasions. It wasn't even Caprese- there were maybe two tomatoes, plain cheese clearly seasoned with store bought Italian seasoning, no pesto in sight, and no fresh mozzarella. Never again!More

Came here with friends to grab a drink. Got a caramel macchiato. Very good. The staff was very helpful and greeting. They have a long list of specialty drinks. They offer a military and student discount.

The staff are friendly and helpful and there are over a dozen specialty lattes from which to choose. I tried the Banana’s Foster and it tasted like banana rum custard. My friend ordered the Snickers latte and it tasted just like a Snickers. The atmosphere...is relaxed and quiet and is a nice place to read, study or hang with friends.More
