Verdict: Our expert take on BedHead Coffee
Food (7 out of 10)
mentioned by 88% of the guests
When it comes to the food and drinks here, it seems like many folks are having a great time! With a solid score of 7 and a customer satisfaction of 70%, the general consensus is pretty good. Out of 30 customer comments, 21 rave about the delicious coffee, lattes, and expertly prepared mochas.
Special shout-outs go to the amazing hot pumpkin pie, tasty English muffins, and unique, fluffy eggs. However, not everyone's experience has been perfect, with 9 comments expressing disappointment. Some found their coffees watered down or burnt, lacking flavor, while others felt their vanilla lattes were too sweet.
There were also mentions of a not-so-great muffin and breakfast sandwiches, plus issues with watered-down milk or missing caramel.

Frequently criticized
- breakfast sandwichesIt was a bummer. The breakfast sandwiches were warmed and wrapped in paper towels to go. I'd love to support this coffee stand, however, I'm not sure that we will return.
- carameldidn't even get any caramel in my coffee
- caramel brevemilk was water down and I didn't even get any caramel
- coffeeI wanted to support a small, local business, but I was very disappointed in the coffee. The service was great, however, the coffee was not good.
- coffeestwo coffees that were watered down and burnt, lacking any flavor
- milkmilk was water down
- muffinI ordered two coffees that were watered down and burnt, lacking any flavor. The muffin I received was also not great. For the price of $20, I expected much better quality.
- quad latteThe service was great, however, the coffee was not good. I honestly threw away a quad latte. : (My experience was mixed.
- vanilla lattesMy first thought upon walking up to the window was the intense smell of Glade air freshener wafting out of the little shop past the patio. We both ordered vanilla lattes, and they were so sweet that we could not drink them. It was a bummer.
If you're looking for expertly made coffee drinks and some unique, tasty treats like their hot pumpkin pie, this spot is definitely worth a try. Just be mindful that some coffee preparations and breakfast items have occasionally missed the mark for a few customers.

Frequently criticized
- attitudehad a bad attitude
- drink orderThe guy who served us a few weeks ago had a bad attitude. It was a super hot day, and he got mad after he misheard my drink order and gave me the wrong drink. When I politely corrected him, he proceeded to argue until he finally remade the drink, but was visibly angry.

If friendly and efficient service is high on your list, this place is definitely worth a try. While there's a small chance of a less-than-stellar interaction, the overwhelming majority of visitors enjoy a welcoming and convenient experience.
Ambience (7.8 out of 10)
mentioned by 24% of the guests
The ambience here truly shines, earning a solid 7.8, which is a good score. Customer satisfaction is also high at 80%, reflecting a generally positive experience. Based on 4 positive observations, guests particularly love the owners community investment, the inviting covered outdoor sitting area, and the overall charming location that evokes a classic coffee scene.
However, its not without a minor point for improvement. One comment out of 5 total noted the intensity of a glade airfresher wafting from the little shop. While this is a singular concern, its worth keeping in mind if youre sensitive to strong artificial scents.
