Caffeine Roasters Dale Mabry

When I approached the counter I told the employee that I am gluten-free, dairy-free, and sugar-free, and asked what they had that would be in alignment with my diet. The employee recommended the gluten-free avocado toast. I added scrambled eggs and salmon. And she recommended the hazelnut vanilla sugar-free syrup which I added to a matcha latte. I assumed that based on my communicated dietary restrictions, she would have used plant-based milk. However after arriving halfway home and drinking half of it, I realize that it indeed was made with dairy. Which unfortunately is probably going to upset my stomach and I'm not able to enjoy the rest of my drink. The avocado on the avocado toast had a brown spot. It's never worth whatever money a restaurant is going to save by putting brown avocado on a customer's plate. Also while we were there, another customer went to take her first drink of her beverage and the cap was not on securely, hence pouring all over her white shirt. Obviously she was upset. Napkin machine only had two napkins left in it so she asked for more. Instead of handing her a handful of napkins, they filled up the napkin machine, which took more time and was not considerate of the urgency of trying to keep her shirt from absorbing her drink. Seems like the employees here just aren't really present and paying attention to the details. My avocado toast was quite tasty, minus the brown spot. But when customers communicate dietary restrictions up front, that needs to be front and center so that they don't cause allergic reactions in their customers. Some people just don't really get the importance and severity of food allergies. But they shouldn't be working in a food service industry if they don't. Rural areas can get away with lack of understanding of food allergies, but not urban.

simply delicious! caffiene roasters seems like a lovely stop for a morning coffee, pastry, or even breakfast. i was really happy with my iced mocha latte, the chocolate wasn’t overly sweet and really complemented the espresso. another drink my sister tried was an iced chai tea latte, which she got with oat milk and vanilla (both drinks are pictured). with the addition of vanilla it was a little sweeter as she likes it, and it was super enjoyable for her. we got a couple of gluten free chocolate chip cookies and they were wonderful! large, gooey, and nicely warmed, they were a great treat with our lattes. the shop was small but really cute, and the space was used well. with lots of pastries out for display, and fun illustrations of latte art on the wall, it could definitely be nice to enjoy a coffee in store on a slower day. they do seem to get busy pretty fast, but the time it took to get our order ready was super reasonable. i’d definitely recommend caffiene roasters as a stop for anyone looking for a great selection of coffee, alternate drinks, as well as food in the area!
