We saw a new coffee shop in progress, right on the square at Spanish Springs. Does anyone know if it's open yet? Anyone tried it? Thanks all,

Is it replacing Dunkin?

In Dunkin’s old location. Looks the same inside for about 4 months. It’s a chain, am surprised it taking so long to complete. Not sure how it’s going to go over, if one can’t sit and have useless needless conversations for hours on one cup of coffee.

It's going to be a "CFS" (Coffee For the Soul) coffeeshop. I just checked their website, their menu shows a medium drip coffee at over $4.00, and their food options start at $15 and go up to $20, for just - protein bowls with steak?

I might try a cup of coffee, once, just to say I've tried it. I did the same when Foxtail showed up next to Tropical Smoothie up on 441. But if I'm paying $20 for steak I need wait service and something other than potato chips for a side.

Starbucks was in that location before Dunkin' and failed miserably. Residents did not want to spend $$$$ for a cup of coffee. It will be interesting to see what happens with this third attempt.

If the K cup machine breaks I might try a cup while waiting for the new machine to come from Amazon.

Lol..My daughter bought me a fancy espresso machine that easily froths milk, as well. I haven't been to a coffee shop since plugging it in. The arepas sound interesting. We had some during a trip to Belize. They were delicious.

Starbucks in LSL is full of old guys in need of company, sitting for hours nursing one cup of coffee. With the return of refills, I don’t ever see them going home. That $3 for them ends up being less than $1, after refills.

CFS, coffee is definitely a step up from Foxtail, but I don’t think SS will be a good fit. Middleton may have been a better choice. After eating in three different CFS, it’s not about the $$, the food product became inconsistent, for a chain that’s unusual. Coffee isn’t unique, definitely better than fast food coffee.

I usually get specialty drinks from Starbucks. There are 3 coffee machines on my counter, one was close to $2,000. Yet here I sit with freshly ground Blue Mountain, and Kona in two French Press, waiting for sunrise.

Starbucks did not fail at that location. The villages increased their rent. It was very popular..as was Dunkin

They are going to have breakfast. Not sure about lunch.

And yet Sumter Landing Starbucks is hopping. First thing my daughter wants when she visits.

Cheap coffee without a drive thru won't produce the volume to pay the rent.

Do you know how much it was raised? Was it more than in the other squares? Businesses are still open at SL and BW.

Prefer my Dunkin. If additional coffee shop, probably won't last long.
