Visiting Crimson Cup is a way to start the day off right! I go to this location because the people are SO cheerful. The woman at the drive thru today brightened my day!

I've been coming here for quite a few years. The manager knows me by name. They've been great during the pandemic. Always friendly, and always producing a delicious, quality product. Check out the New Orleans iced coffee! And if I missed breakfast, I have them add some protein powder to my Chai Freeze. Please tip them every time you go!! They work so hard in the drive thru!!

We love the N High location granted I will go to any Crimson Cup over Starbucks any day. Preferred coffee place. Clean and super nice service. Reasonable prices. Everytime my spouse orders a Mayan Mocha with almond milk they consistently remind us it will still contain a little dairy and they know not to add whip cream without asking. Love the consistency attention to detail!

Nice local coffee shop. I'm not a regular, but I've been here about a dozen times or so now, and I've not had any bad experiences. I've tried some seasonal lattes, coffee (cream and sugar), muffins, breakfast sandwiches, and they've all been very good
Staff has been friendly when I come in as well, although since covid-19, I'm fond of ordering ahead with the app. App is user friendly for the most part. Just check the drop down boxes (e.g. select breakfast sandwich, but after selecting that, you choose which type of breakfast sandwich from a drop down menu).
Overall: Will return and would recommend

Literally the slowest drive thru on the planet. 20+min to get 4 cars through only to be told that my drinks were made wrong and “is that ok or would you like them remade?” After waiting 20min?!?!!! Also not pet friendly, was told my 6 pound puppy that was being held in my arms was a “safety hazard” and I wouldn’t be allowed to order. Been treated with disdain almost every time I’m there. I’m a block from this location and have honestly driven miles to Starbucks to avoid dealing with them.

Fantastic. Beats out Starbucks, hands-down. Limited seating and a small parking lot are the only downsides. Pricing is comparable to Starbucks. Best coffee I've ever had.

A pretty good coffee at a decent price.

My coffee is always delicious and the frozen coffee drinks are always nice and thick unlike Starbucks. The people are super nice and the drive through is so convenient especially right now during the pandemic. The frozen Mayan Mocha is my fave right now, and they always have investing new specials to try!

Consistently one of the slower coffee shops. Think hipster coffee shop speed with Starbucks quality drinks.
