"There was only one person to do all the work & it took us 10 min. To get our coffees & 20 min. To get our waffle. I asked for a sweet Carmel coffee for I wasn't sure which one to get on their limited menu. It was very tart. My queens coffee was strong, sweet but she enjoyed hers. Definitely a small amount of coffee for the price you pay. The waffle was good from what she told me. Said it was fluffy. Personally though I know I could of made one even better at home..."

"Let me tell y’all, this place is a solid 5 stars all around! I’m from Michigan and was visiting Cincinnati when I searched for a few local coffee shops. Something drew me to this one, and I’m so glad I followed that instinct! I’m pretty sure the amazing woman running the shop was the owner, and she’s Black, which made me even more excited because I love supporting small Black-owned businesses (wish more reviews had mentioned that!). I started with a cold brew (simple coffee lover here!) and avocado toast, both delicious. Then I went back for the banana and peanut butter toast—another 10/10. But what truly stood out was the owner herself. She was holding it down solo on a busy Saturday morning after two staff call-offs, and still made the effort to communicate with every customer, apologize for delays, and keep things moving with grace. If you’re ever in the Cincy area, this spot is a must try. Great food, great coffee, and an even better vibe. I’ll definitely be back!"

"Conclusion -Cool environment, nice for sort term solo studying/ remote working. Also ideal for meeting up with a friend, with leaning toward Lattes as drink of choice.(Ex. Vanilla Latte). This is an easy place to grab coffee. You can pull up right outside, and get in and out relatively quick. For full Review check us out on Instagram and Tiktok. @Hunitng_Coffee"

"Sugar and Cream in Evanston is such a gem! I’m here for SAIGE’s Happier Hour and this cute Black-owned coffee shop has the warmest, most inviting atmosphere. Simone is AMAZING—so welcoming and attentive—and the coffee is soooo good. You can truly feel the community-based vibe the moment you walk in. Highly recommend!"

"I had one of the most uncomfortable experiences I’ve ever had in a coffee shop here today. I came in around 3:00 p.m. to take a work meeting on my laptop. The meeting was starting as I walked in, so I sat down and logged on right away. About 15 minutes later, while I was clearly in the middle of my meeting, the woman behind the counter yelled across the shop asking if I was going to order something. I said yes and told her I would order as soon as my meeting ended. About 10 minutes after that, she again yelled across the shop asking if I was going to order and said they were “closing soon.” She was visibly frustrated. I told her I didn’t realize they were closing soon and repeated that I would order when my meeting finished. At that point I decided it was best to leave. When my meeting ended around 3:30, I packed up and headed out. The woman then followed me from behind the counter to the door and yelled in my face that this was not the type of place where I could come and “steal their internet.” I calmly told her I was using my own personal hotspot. She continued to yell at me and berate me while standing directly in front of me. I have visited this shop many times, which makes this even more disappointing. Being followed and yelled at on my way out the door was aggressive, humiliating, and completely unprofessional. I will not be returning, and I would strongly caution others."
