Midtown Station Coffeehouse - Sumner

Old owners reopened restaurant. I love this place because it is a great place to wind on my way home, to see football, and they have great food.

This is the email I sent them while I was stuck in there because I wanted a real cup rather than paper: I'm not coming back here again. Soap operas blasting on the TV in the middle of the day, and I bet you wonder why no one is in here. I wish I'd realized what was on TV while I was ordering. I would have walked right back out. It's a shame too, because that couch looked really inviting, and the latte wasn't half bad either. (I'm basing this on comparison with other local shops. It's actually just an average latte. -Ed) By they way. When someone asks for a (insert drink here) for here, that means they don't want paper. Except I wish I had gotten a to go cup, because then I wouldn't have been stuck here with the soaps. I'm actually in here right now. Maybe you see me. I'm the only other person here, so it won't be hard. I'm sorry if you missed me though, because I wont be coming back.

7am and my ride dropped me off at the train station early so I could finally get a morning coffee at the Midtown. I'm in a dress so I was looking forward to the hot brew warming me up. Doors are locked, place is pitch black dark. My ride has already left. Their hours show 5am. Did someone decide to sleep in and not open the doors or is the website's hours wrong?

I like to support my local businesses, but I really dislike this place. The morning cashier is such a grump, I only come here on my way to the train when I'm desperate for a coffee in the morning, and that isn't very often! In this case, I'll happily hand over the extra dollar or two it costs to get a friendly, polite face at Starbucks, heck even McDonalds would offer a more pleasant experience than Midtown Station!

I think this place was just remodeled and might be under new management. Anyways, we stopped in here for a late lunch the other day with some friends. The employees were very friendly, but seemed a little disorganized. They had a sign out with specials on it, and the server said they were fabulous, but then the cook came out and said the specials were not available for another few hours. The food all came out separately, like each dish 5 minutes apart, so we all started and finished eating at different times. It tasted great though, so that was a plus! I would give it another try if we were in the area.
