I have a business in the same parking lot, and my customers are always coming in with coffees, teas and smoothies from Lazy Eye Coffee. The girls working there are SO nice and will make your morning. If you go early enough there's a great selection of pastries. My son loves the cookies. Also -- I just had the best hot chocolate of my life??? You will not regret coming here!

I am a big fan of their drip coffee. Best in town. I would highly recommend.

I love this place. I told myself that I’m done with coffee because the caffeine makes my nerves go crazy but they offer decaf! I get an iced decaf mocha with oat milk and it is amazing every time. The women that work here are super nice and the wait time is pretty good too. Would definitely recommend this to anyone.

Just had the Vanilla Bean Latte and I am pleasantly surprised at how good this is. Support this place over a chain. The speedy service would keep me coming back too

Large parking lot, small shop in the center. It gets busy, but Grama said the mocha is great and the wife said the agave is great as well. At 2 coffees for $10, definitely Worth a stop!
