I get a standard iced coffee here, which happen to be cheaper and bigger than Starbucks(2.25 here, 2.65 there), although I do feel more inclined to tip here so evens out. There are usually one or two other cars in line during the 7:30−8am hour when I stop through. I’ve only experience two employees here and both have poured coffee over ice in an excellent manner. I did get a cream cheese cinnamon roll once and it was a bit chewy and hard; possible undercooked or stale. The location is extremely convenient for me and I pass it every day on my way to work. I’ll continue to stop by frequently. Speaking of frequently, a buyers card would be nice. Several local coffee shops(Gordos, Starbs and even the Shell station next door) have some sort of buy # get one free programs. I’m a sucker for frequent buyer programs.

My iced coffee was about 25 cents more than Starbucks. A grande iced coffee at Starbucks is about $ 2.95 and my iced coffee here was $ 3.25. Totally worth it! The coffee tastes better and it’s faster too. I didn’t realize this was here until I went over to Carl’s Jr to pick up a last minute breakfast. I saw the little kiosk and decided to give them a try. Boy was I glad I found them! The iced coffee was good! I highly recommend you stop by for a little cup of joe if you’re in the area and looking!

This small drive-in coffee/tea place is what actually got me off of Starbucks. I’ve only tried a couple drinks such as the Hippie(green tea with soy) and my every morning go to drink which is the chai tea latte with vanilla, both very tasty and flavorful, not like other coffee places close by. I’ve only seen 2 people working there(one guy and one girl) and they are very sweet and super efficient! If you;re in the area and need that«quick fix» this is the best place to give it a try. SUPPORTLOCALBUSINESSES!

Decided to try this place a while ago and was glad I did. It is a drive thru or walk up but since it was raining I drove thru today. I ordered a Pumpkin soy latte and it was great. Been here a few times and all the employees are super friendly and give recommendations when I can’t make up my mind. I got pumpkin bread to go with my latte. I was a happy girl. If you haven’t been, give this place a try!

Coming from Downtown where coffee shops are everywhere it was really nice to find Quick Fix and their Mexican Mocha. I’ve now visited on several occasions, always ordering the MM and unfortunately will now be in search of a new shop. Its always a plus to give my business to local Mom & Pops but not while sacrificing service. The 1st few times I visited, I was greeted by a lady(I assumed she was the owner) very pleasant and the coffee was HOT and DELICIOUS. In the last few weeks, I’ve been served my a young man and I drive away feeling like I’ve done something wrong. 1st, no friendly service and 2nd(most important) the coffee is no longer desirable. This was this morning’s transaction: I pulled up and he looked in my direction and asked«yeah?» I replied«medium Mexican Mocha», no response, he makes my coffee, hands it over and says«its $ 4», I hand him my credit card and very annoyed he says«you know I gotta charge you more to use this» I replied with«yes». He charges my CC and hands it back. I drove off feeling like this young man does not like him job very much and in return I can taste it in my coffee(which today’s tasted my luke-warm hot chocolate, not mocha). Its unfortunate, my first few visits I would have rated 4+ stars, now I will be searching for a new coffee shop. :(

I love this place! I work right next to it and it is so much better than Starbucks!!! Support your small businesses! The customer service is unbelievably good and the coffee is amazing. I recommend the spiced chai tea latte!!! Thumbs up

Short but sweet review — that sums up my visit to this lil coffee hut. The scone was good — coffee even better; the cinnamon vanila latte just hit the spot without over doing it on the sugar. The gal manning the station — incredible friendly. As an added bonus its a drive-thru + walk-up coffee shop.

Came to the drive thru to 2 guys hanging out talking. The open sign was illuminated and pastries were out on the window ledge. It was 1220PM. One of the guys comes to window, «sorry we’re closed.» Maybe turn off the sign?

Oh man this place literally has the best sugar free vanilla latte I have ever had in my life! I refuse to order it anywhere else because nothing else compares to it. That being said, that is the only drink I have ever ordered here. The employees are also very nice and the whole drive-thru thing makes it very convenient(especially since I’m not really trying to talk or deal with anyone before I have my coffee in the morning…)

There really aren’t a lot of options for coffee in this general vicinity however Quick Fix is there to provide that… my quick fix! This is a little drive through that is literally a shack. I would assume you could walk up as well however I’ve never done that as it is much easier for me to sit in the warmth of my car and wait in line. The lines can be long however they move you through rather quickly so all it all it is quite convenient. The staff is friendly, the coffee is HOT and the prices reasonable, comparatively speaking. Cash only so make sure you have some on hand otherwise the guy behind you(which might me be) will be honking for you to get out of the way. After all, we ALL need our coffee fix.

I couldn’t be happier to have discovered that this charming little place is directly on my commute! I never have to wait more than a minute, everyone who works there is wonderful and cheerful, and I always leave with a smile on my face. The coffee is great, and this morning I got what I think they called an oatmeal bar that is about the most delicious Friday breakfast treat around! :)

This is a waaaay cool, local coffee stand. The girls that work there(I’ve been going almost daily and only see girls) are very friendly. The coffee is addictive, well all coffee is addictive, but this one is very good. I get a medium cup of their dark roast, black. Stop by and get yourself a nice morning drink! I highly recommend it.
