“It's a Mickey's now, no longer carries the BP signage. Really, surprisingly good coffee. Friendly people, which is funny because the 'friendly' place next door didn't have friendly people. Fair prices, good parking, and they have a Dunkin' Donuts (get the store branded coffee, it's better).”

“Bought chicken literally at closing so the experience might not be normal. It should be, but I as a chef I understand not having a fresh batch 2 minutes until close. They didn't have the tenders I wanted so I got full pieces and a free slice of pizza for my troubles. The pizza was what you might think of as gas station pizza. Huge slice, not particularly tasty but also not bad. And the price was right. The chicken was juicy, even given it probably sat awhile. Breading was actually tasty. Admittedly unexpected. I'd definitely go back. Earlier, but sure to return because our AirBnB was half mile away and we plan to stay there next year. I can't give them two thumbs up, but I'll give them one and a half. Offering pizza they probably would have thrown out anyway was a nice gesture. Appreciated that. So good customer service. And I think I read tgey are employee owned, which I really like.”
