Meg's Daily Grind

Love their iced coffee and. Iced Chai Tea very friendly reasonably priced will go back and get a Icee Milky Way Coffee, they are amazing.

Really cute coffeeshop, good atomsphere. There are enough tables that they can seat everyone who comes in, but they're spaced evenly enough to allow for some privacy in conversation. Good coffee, too, and excellent staff.

Orders are sometimes incorrect and other times spot on and staff is helpful. I have been coming here several years and would rather support a local business than go to Starbucks,The only thing I don't like is that it smells like coffee, well I guess that's what you get with a coffee shop. LOL so that's just me

Used to be excellent but for the last several months the service has been absolutely horrendous. I routinely end up being given the wrong food or drink, charged incorrectly, or find them closed well before their stated hours. Today they messed up my entire order and only partially corrected it while providing nothing recognizable as customer service. They were rude, condescending, and refused to make their mistake right.

My order: 1 Large Kona Mocha Blended, 2 Lemon Poppyseed Muffins
What I received: 1 something Vanilla and Grit Blended, 2 Lemon Poppyseed muffin *tops*

I immediately notice the tops instead of muffins and am told "ugh, [sigh, eye roll] keep them I guess? I have one muffin, you want that?" I accept and wait for my drink. Now getting glared at... Cool, that's mature- really professional. I'm asked if I want whip on my drink, with an unnecessarily sharp tone. Yes, thanks. Girl scoffs, walks away. Eventually I'm handed my drink. I drive off before taking my first sip and discovering it's wrong. I'm almost home since I only live a few blocks away. My husband offers to go back and have them replace it. They refuse and laugh at him when he asks for the name of the manager. They claim they don't have one. If that's true, I'd say it explains a lot.

Been trying to like Meg's for several years but......Coffee is average, not always as hot as I like it. Commonly even in the mornings, they don't have the items on the menu, yogurt parfait, certain types of bagels, egg salad or tuna salad sandwiches. Some friendly staff, but most have a hard time giving away a smile.

Beans were decently fresh. Fast service and espresso pull (by my barista) was good. Layout small and easy to hear others conversation. Other Meg's better.

Very nice place, has some great smoothies and desserts. The only thing I don't like is that it smells like coffee, well I guess that's what you get with a coffee shop. LOL so that's just me

Forgot about one of my drinks. Also doesn't have a wide selection of much In my opinion. Its a nice place and very peaceful. Overall I wont be returning as there are many other coffee shops I prefer.

Always great coffee and a wonderful experience at Meg's. A local favorite coffee shop.

The vast majority of the employees are very nice. Unfortunately, the same cannot be said of the manager, Meg's sister. She managed to turn my well-intentioned attempt to help them to get better powered cocoa by giving my feedback that it has a metallic or artificial (as in diet drinks) after-taste. "You're the only one who doesn't like it," Leslie quipped. "I know my customers and they would have told me if they didn't like it." The implication is that one person can't be right (similarly, Hitler could have claimed that because he had not heard any complaints, the German people must favor the Nazis...the key word being MUST). If Leslie really "knew her customers," she would know that awareness of her utter rudeness is an open secret among many (even her employees admit this--albeit subtly). I regard Leslie's dismissiveness and over-reaching on her assumptions to be very rude, as well as ignorant. One person--herself a manager--said, "I wouldn't go there anymore." In spite of Leslie's sordid attitude, I suggested that she simply put some of the power in her palm and TASTE it for herself. "She probably did it and realized you were right, but didn't want to tell you," the manager of another establishment told me. It occurred to me then that she probably would have felt humiliated admitting she had been wrong. It is obvious to me now that she dislikes me. She had turned away from me while I was ordering once (to help a drive-thru customer instead) and when I and another customer were talking to her about the frequent problems with the sandwich shop's wifi router. "I don't want just any employee knowing how to re-start it," she had told us. As I was replying, "Perhaps one person per shift?" she turned her back to me and mumbled a dead-panned "yeah."
An employee told me that Leslie had quit her job as an accountant in Minnesota, before coming to work in the family business. Unfortunately, this means not only that accountability probably isn't going to happen, but also that Leslie herself will continue to suffer because at the very least remaining in a vocation that is not a passion will keep her from discovering where it lies. She is obviously not happy managing Megs on Alpine, and this is borne out in comments made by a number of regulars concerning her sordid attitude.
