Baristas and coffee connoisseurs exist in a perpetual state of disapproval, so you might as well save some money.
The baristas at the cafe my daughter and I usually go to (which is so good that even though it is half an hour away and one town over, we still go) are great. And really friendly. It's not especially cheaper than anywhere else, but they have a decent selection of non-coffee drinks like smoothies and bubble tea for my daughter, a drink called a dirty chai which I really like for me (chai with a shot of espresso), and a lot of surprisingly good gluten-free pastries and cookies. We aren't gluten-free and gluten-free baked goods that I've tried generally haven't impressed me, but these aren't bad. They also have gelato. Plus, a chill atmosphere and a lot of comfortable places to sit.
If you're ever going down I-70 through Illinois and pass by Marshall near the Indiana border, the Gypsy Queen Cafe is worth a stop, if for no other reason than to see a surprisingly upscale cafe for a tiny town in the middle of nowhere.
Edit: The menu on the website is incomplete. So is the menu on their sign. It's sort of distributed throughout the store. That's the one thing I don't like about it, but I'm used to it now.
Sounds like a nice place! It's cool that you have that near you. The 3rd wave places near me seem to think that coffee is the lifeblood from which all things sprout, and their attitudes generally suck. Their coffee is good though.
I think because they're young and it's a small town and there isn't much there in terms of employment, they're pretty happy to have one of the relatively few jobs there that don't require an advanced education and also don't suck ass.
Just about anywhere that sells coffee in the states can make you a dirty chai, it’s my go-to coffee order. Even places where everything is just poured out of pre-prepared cartons, the chai is almost always killer.
