"I have driving past this business while in town visiting family. I finally got a chance to visit and order a drink. I tried the snickerdoodle latte and it was delicious and the staff was friendly and helpful with suggestions. I will definitely return when in town visiting family."

"I recently visited Santos Coffee despite having seen some mixed reviews online, and I’m really glad I gave it a chance. The coffee was fantastic we ordered a café caramel and a maple latte, both of which were delicious. The staff was kind enough to adjust the sweetness of my drink, which I really appreciated. The food was a pleasant surprise as well. I’m a big fan of crepes, and I didn’t realize Santos offered them. They turned out to be excellent, and I also tried the sausage, egg, and cheese croissant, which was fresh and tasted good with their sauce. Even though the wait times were a little longer than what I’m used to at places like Starbucks, I found out that their food is made to order, which explained the quality and time. The staff was friendly, and the space was bright and welcoming, with lots of natural light and greenery. Overall, I’d rate my experience a 10/10, and I think this place deserves more attention for the quality they offer. Definitely worth a visit! Also they are locally owned!"

"Overall it was okay. The bad part is that everything pictured (2 drinks, 2 breakfast sandwiches) was $40!!! (Not including tip). Coffee was good, but not any better than Starbucks or Dunkin. Service was slow- can’t believe we spent over $40 on this."

"I’ve been coming to this coffee shop for over a year and while it has never been the most “welcoming” environment, it has gotten the job done as being a place to study and sip coffee. However, today I sat in this shop with two other customers who were both Caucasian males and watched as an employee came out, offered them complementary cakes, looked at me and turned her head as if I didn’t exist. I hate that I’ve invested so much money into this business."

"I’m not a big review person, but this may be my last time at Santos Gardendale. Every time I go, I’m disappointed. I waited for 35+ minutes for my food this morning inside while 10 or more cars went through the drive thru. I’m pretty sure they just completely forgot about me. Everytime I go, something is either wrong with my food or the wait is insane. I get the savory bowl and it never fails that they leave my egg out. I feel like everytime I get the bowl, it’s different because it seems like no one there knows how to actually make one. Other santos are great, but I would NOT recommend this one."
