Scooter's Coffee

We apparently did not have enough coffee available in this part of town, so now we have Scooter's. Stopped in for a quick breakfast on the way to church the other day.  Got a maple sausage sandwich and a hot turtle latte.  

  • I would not recommend the sandwich.  It is a sausage, cheese and egg sandwich on a waffle bun.  Came pretty quickly, which means it was microwaved.  That made the waffle very soft and difficult to handle, so it was tough to eat it one handed.  OK flavor but not good texture.  They have other food options that may work better.

    The turtle latte was fine.  Same price range as Dutch Brothers and Starbucks.  They have a lot of good coupon deals so I would say it is worth it if you want to do a little research and get what's on sale at a chain.  Nice folks working there, but it's not quite like Dutch Brothers where you get a personal touch at the order taking.

Time Saver

This place has been around for a long time, but looked rather run down/scary so I had never stopped there. They've had a recent facelift and now advertise Hunt Brothers Pizza so I stopped in for a bite.  The facelift extended to the interior, which is now clean and well lit with attractive product displays.

They only had a couple of breakfast pizzas ready when I went in at 11, but the clerk was very nice and offered to make wings for me while I waited.  Took about 10 minutes to go through their little oven.  I got a drink during that time--the soda machine was clean and functional.  I also looked over the extensive advertisements for Hunt Brothers inside.  They seem to aspire to be in competition with Domino's etc. for pizza and related items, but I only saw the one tiny oven so I don't know how they would keep up if it got very popular.  But the wings were quite good when I got them home, and 5 for $3.99 so not bad, the lunch was just over $7.

The single bathroom didn't get the facelift but it was reasonably clean.  A fair amount of that attractive product display is for head shop merchandise and flavored vaping (with free trial) for the kiddos.  I have misgivings about boosting a nuisance business, but most convenience stores sell those things so it's hard to be that picky.  I did have a nice service experience.
