Almost Heaven Desserts & Coffee Shop

Hi i’ve tried to give this place a chance a bunch of times but it’s just so bad. I like black coffee and the coffee here is always way too strong or way too watery. They need to learn how to measure grind. Also the employees just never make me feel wanted there. Clearly this place’s management is very poor and seems to be run by high schoolers/college kids.

Stopped here for a quick coffee and snack while traveling North. The coffee was pretty good but beware, it was boiling hot! After letting it cool for awhile it was good. We grabbed a blueberry bagle with cream cheese and it was to be expected! Loved the interior and ascetic of the place. They had a great little selection of to go snacks as well.

Had a really bad experience on May 10th. The person working in the kitchen was not wearing gloves and prepared/served my food as well as a few other peoples food. The person in the kitchen was also eating while preparing the food. It grossed me out and I just immediately threw the food in the trash and left. That’s very unsanitary for someone to not wear gloves while touching someone else’s food and eating/snacking on top of it. I’m a regular for lunch and this is the first bad experience i’ve had.

What an amazing place! Just about every desert you could want. We decided on raspberry cheesecake for our fist trip. Wow! Was it great. Also picked up some nut rolls, which are one of my favorites. They have great coffees, lattes, espresso and much more. I highly recommend you give it a try. You won't be disappointed.

Me and brother went here for a quick smoothie stop. It was pretty empty. There were two girls behind the counter who looked like they were 14, not a huge deal but they just stared at us like we were robbing the place. We got two smoothies for $16.50.

Yeah $16.50

I probably should’ve known right away that I would regret my purchase, but we stayed hopeful.

We waited 25 minutes for two flavorless ice drinks. Not kidding, and I’m not someone to complain, but these were really really bad. I don’t think they wore gloves while making the smoothies either, which isn’t particularly appetizing.

I will never come back here, it’s overhyped on social media, overpriced, and the staff are a bunch of kids who don’t know how to work in food.

Took 17 mins to get 2 coffees and when we did, the Hot Caramel Latte was luke warm at best, black coffee was so strong it was not drinkable and of the 3 dozen nut rolls we purchased, 1 of the boxes had only 11 cookies in it. On the positive side, the shop was nice, the cashier offered to comp my black coffee and the nut rolls were ALMOST worth the other hassles. Hope you can get it together. Cheat Lake needs a good coffee shop/bakery

I stopped at the new location to enjoy a coffee and breakfast before a very important doctor appointment. I wanted to relax in a calm atmosphere, and this coffee shop did the trick! I have always loved (and for a short time was also employed) the Bridgeport location, so my expectations were high. Cheat Lake did not disappoint! From the kind staff to the cozy but modern decor, I felt at ease and comfortable. I ordered a bagel with cream cheese and avocado (HIGHLY RECOMMEND) and a large iced coffee with a slice of cheesecake to save for after I got good news from my doctor. :) Both were delicious and filling. I only wish it were closer in town so that I could stop before work a couple mornings a week (I come from Fairmont to Suncrest area.)

Management really needs to read these constructive reviews and take them seriously as there are actionable changes to be made that can keep paying customers coming back. We’ve enjoyed the food and drinks from the Bridgeport location and were excited for the Morgantown location to open up. After giving it several tries, it’s really hard to say I’ll be back. The online order ahead options don’t match up with the in store options (items that come in the salad) so I’ve had no choice but to go in which inevitably leads to a long wait time because the service is not fast. On my most recent visit, my drinks and a food item were completely forgotten about and once I reminded them, it was still another 15 minutes for two drinks. The ice in the dirty iced chai latte immediately melted because they actually steeped the tea to order and then poured it over ice? I would have changed my order if I knew it would turn into a lukewarm tea, coffee and milk mixture. Spa Roma down the street does chai lattes right if you aren’t also looking for food. The avocado toast was not actually toasted, just mushy bread. There seems to be several people working but I observed a handful of customers walk in and stand in line at the register for several minutes before being helped. The inside of the cafe is quite a welcoming setting and when the food and drinks are done right they are tasty and have kept me coming back. The opportunities I see are for consistency (do what you say and offer what you advertise) and training/efficiency enhancements with staff. I hope to see this place succeed.

I got a French toast latte 😋 and lemme tell ya... it's so yummy! The cheesecake and macarons were very tempting for breakfast. Such a cute shop! However, the staff don't seem very happy or friendly, they just stare at you and don't greet you or anything... and the food is just thrown into a box... but overall, it's good. Idk but to me, friendly staff and presentation are huge... they also don't have a lot of options because they don't keep stock of a good bit of food items... I also had a hair in my side salad... not very appetizing, the lettuce was dirty... they definitely don't wash it.

The Place is incredible. I had the Acai bowl came with fresh fruit and a tasty smoothie under it. The bakery is also great make sure you try the cinnamon roll it's taste better then the ones at cinnabon! The place itself has an incredible atmosphere very modern and homey feel.
