Reviews For Jennings Coffee & Tea

Jennings is one of my favorite spots in our small town! They’re one of the ONLY places that can make an iced caramel macchiato that actually tastes like coffee. Their food options, both savory and sweet, are also delicious--especially their chicken salad croissant! Their seasonal menus also ensure that there’s always something new to try. The staff here is super friendly, personable, and always make you feel right at home.

This is the best coffee shop in the area. The atmosphere and seating are great for getting some work done. The drinks and food items are delicious. The staff is friendly and the owners give back to community organizations.

Super cute and homey as any good coffee/tea place should be. They offer a little shuffle board game too. I got the blood orange tea with honey, iced, and it's super delicious, as is their iced chai latte. Also super affordable place too. Would definitely recommend.

Anyone who knows me knows three things: 1) I am addicted to coffee. 2) I am a coffee snob. 3) Jennings is my favorite coffee shop. I love the atmosphere here. It has that small town feel like Luke's Diner from Gilmore Girls where everyone knows you. There's great fresh pastry options and the coffee is excellent! I personally love the nutty and earthy roasts. My 2 favorites are the chocolate hazelnut roast and the whiskey barrel roast. There's so many options on the menu and still room to make your own flavor combos.

Stopped here on the way through town, and they truly made it a priority to make sure my order was just what I wanted. I appreciated the effort, and the coffee and smoothies were great! If I lived in the area, the coffee shop itself is cute and cozy!

We really enjoyed the coffee and scones at Jennings. The coffee was strong and smooth. The blueberry lemon scone was scrumptious and not too sweet. The service was excellent and the barista was kind!
