"The best coffee in the Shoals. No need in going to a chain store and sitting in line and having no even say Merry Christmas. I've decided to only support locally owned coffee shop that deserves my business. They are all about making the customer happy. But I would suggest carrying peppermint all year. It's too good to only have seasonal!"

"On a trip from Nashville TN we wanted coffee and Google maps sent us to this 5 star coffeehouse. What a great place. The mission of the owner (recent high graduate) is beyond belief. Beautiful place, clean, friendly helpful staff. The Apple fritter & cinnamon roll a real tasty treat. Wish we lived closer. Great job!!"

"I've been driving past the Forge for ages, but just now decided to stop by. Boy, were we missing out! Coffee was great, Acai Bowl was delicious, and the Bagels were better than the leading national chain. We will be coming back, don't sleep on the Forge!"

"I’ve visited twice now. The first time I ordered a gingerbread latte hot. Didn’t taste the gingerbread at all. I came again and ordered a cookie butter hot latte… again can’t taste the flavor. Asked for it extra sweet and it’s hardly sweet at all again. I also ordered an avocado toast, which was six dollars mind you, and it was an untoasted slice of wheat bread with a thin spread of avocado and everything bagel seasoning. Wasn’t even warm. I love to support local businesses, but unfortunately, I won’t be back."

"Very good. I got a pumpkin spice frappe with pumpkin spice whipped cream, a pup cup, and a Dasani for a little over $6. My drink was delicious. The staff was very friendly. I highly recommend this place. Anyone that loves coffee. They have a drive-thru and you can sit in or outside."
