It breaks my heart to write this. I've been a regular 2 or 3 time a week customer at this location since 2007. Today is the 3rd time in a row that I ordered a beverage and threw it away before finishing because it was so awful. Espresso tastes burnt and old. Too much syrup / not enough syrup. The worst part is that I put in the same order, a crimson Cup mocha 3 times this week and each one tasted completely different and none of them were good. The consistency is atrocious. Really, really disappointed and definitely don't recommend going there right now.

My 1st visit to any CC and ordered a tea for there. Didn't know the procedure and tea was ready and I didn't know it. Only 2 of us inside, but constant movement through the drive-thru.

I love local coffee shops and enjoy this one when I am in this part of town. Large menu but not overwhelming. Good selection including food items. Sandwiches are much bigger than other coffee shops. Staff is always friendly and helpful. Love the drive thru. Highly recommend strawberry banana smoothie for non-coffee drinkers!

We stopped by the night before Thanksgiving and the store manager, Bird, was super awesome! She asked if we were hosting tomorrow and I said yes. She offered to make a special hot chocolate drink with espresso, for me to help keep me pumped for all the cooking ahead of me. This location has always been a favorite of ours for years and meeting Bird tonight will certainly keep us coming back! Highly recommend!

Worst coffee in the last three year. I’ve been a loyal customer to crimpson cup for three year, recently the service is downgrading and the my drinks never tasted what I ordered. Today I ordered a caramel latte, they took the order and made me a latte with no caramel taste. When I asked they said we’re out of the caramel syrup and made another one with caramel sauce which tasted awful and very very sweet. This was my last coffee from there 👎🏻.

I come here quite often and have given 5 stars before but today the coffee was sooo hot that I have a blister on my lip and a burn on my stomach from spilling. Great coffee but we need to tone down the temp. No one wants coffee this hot. Id be nervous if it happened to someone who wanted to cause a bigger stink

A genuinely wonderful cafe, I cannot recommend them enough. If you're not even a coffee person, I still recommend them, their drink options are diverse and delicious. Their quick and accurate service is only equal to their clean and pleasant interior seating area. A warm, contemporary interior welcome's you in to a lovely aroma of freshly ground and roasted coffee. And if all of that still isn't enough, they have food trucks there on occasion, such as Cousins Maine Lobster to name one. So that's pretty nifty too.

I enjoy crimson cups coffee but they are almost always very slow so I don't always choose them because of that.

The craft of their brew, plain, simple; is good. However it’s sort of just another place that adds to much processed dairy and sugar. I don’t think of this is a curated local grinds cafe or some fine Italian espressos. It’s American coffee for sure, AND it can be indulgent and tasty for sure. I think they have some lovely baked goods and when sticking to their classics, good coffee etc.

Place is a hub of activity. Simple straight forward menu with coffee and bagels with other morning standards
