I'm not a coffee drinker but today I decided to stop and get a coffee because it was cold out, well I opted for a large decaf and let me tell you this was NOT decaf coffee! About an hour later I was jumping out of my skin with the jitters. Just so you guys know, we know it's not decaf. Also a little constructive criticism your Taylor ham and cheese sandwich, either add more Taylor ham or get a roll with less bread, I don't mind paying a little more for a quality sandwich.

Not good. My sandwich is cold, theres hardly any cheese on it at all, and almost nobody in the shop wears a mask (employees or customers). Not cool and not worth the money or the time.
