What People Are Saying
from Google"I visited the new Mak Daddy location on 01/19/2026. Overall, my experience was pleasant. The sandwich was delicious, and while the drink was okay, the atmosphere stood out in a positive manner. The space is well laid out, with large tables that are especially convenient for students. There is ample room for laptops, textbooks, notebooks and even a tablet making it comfortable to study alone or with a partner. One area that could use improvement is customer service. At checkout, the staff member assisting me was not particularly engaged. While she was not rude, she seemed uninterested, which affected the overall experience. What stood out most was that she was actively using her cellphone while checking me out. This felt unprofessional and detracted from what could have been a solid visit. Additionally, multiple staff members frequently use their phones behind the counter. This raised concern for me from a sanitation standpoint, as it was not always clear that hands were washed after phone use before returning to work tasks. It is concerning from a customer's perspective and impacted my overall comfort level. As a minor additional note, the drinks feel overpriced for what is offered. The cups are very basic, with no branding or indicators that reflect the cost, which may contribute to my perception. I provided this feedback with the intention of being constructive, as the location itself has demonstrated a lot of potential."
"The new location is absolutely beautiful. The atmosphere is calming yet exciting. The employees are wonderful. Michael playing with my niece is the cutest thing. Coffee and food are excellent."
"Over all it was nice. We’re not from here so I don’t know what the comparison is. But we got avocado toast (boujie and regular) and a London fog. The bread was boring and there was hardly any avocado in the avocado toast. If you’re going to charge what you are, you need to put more of its namesake on it. And the London fog tasted more like warm vanilla milk cause they only steeped it for about a minute or two. Every place I’ve ever gone to leaves the tea bag in for us to decided. But the people were really friendly, the atmosphere was cozy (albeit super burnt smelly on the day we went). Nice fireplace to chill by, big windows. It’s cool."
"This is the most amazing coffee place. I feel like I’m stopping by a family members kitchen on my way to work. The folks that work there are really amazing and fun. I like that I can donate to a fund to buy coffee for our LEO too. Bella is especially sweet."
"If atmosphere is what it is like inside such as at a table, the barrels are a bit big. See the photo."
