“ I live pretty far from here, but today I was in the area during their business hours. I was very happy with my pumpkin cream cheese muffin, and hot chocolate. I also enjoyed a bit of conversation. This is a wonderful ministry! ”
“ Please go see them!!! Great people and the snacks are amazing. Gooey butter cake the closest to mom's I can find and I look all over. What a great place. ”
“ Edit: 10/19/18 Well do I have egg on my face or what? I'm editing this review as a few days ago I posted a review citing some QC issues with my former visits. As I often do with constructive reviews, I post them and forget about them, never thinking a shop owner will acknowledge the feedback in any way. It usually takes an immense amount of courage (as my Father would say, "it takes balls") to stare down constructive criticism and ask "How do we make this right?" To my elation, Sam did that very thing and to say he has won my respect would be a statement short of the truth. It goes without saying then, that the concern with consistent coffee temperature has been addressed and then some. My coffee today felt as though it been freshly poured from the depths of an erupting volcano. Hot! Sam took a few minutes of his time and discussed the changes with me, and went as far as to thank me for the feedback as "I can't make changes for the better if I don't know there's an issue" which is a position I wish more people in this world (myself included) would take up more often. What my short experience has told me is that Sam is humble, and his business is more than worth your patronage. I'll soon be moving back West but for the short while I still live here, and any time I visit the area, I know exactly where I'll be going for my daily caffeine fix. Thanks More Than Coffee and cheers to you all. It's also worth noting that the Coffee Cake is as always, divine; and furthermore, what this small stand does for the local community is nothing short of inspiring. ”
“ Super nice little place, good filling food. Great cause behind the cafe! Not very fast so skip if you're in a rush, but definitely drop by if you have the time. It's worth the wait when you have time! ”
“ A lovely place. Gives opportunities to those with disabilities. Great for the community. Really nice baked goods as well. Just have to ask to see the tray. Skip Starbucks and give this place a try.

“ I just love this coffee shop! The lemon poppyseed muffin is my favorite. I admire the Christian mission and how my money goes to supporting individuals with disabilities. It’s great to talk to Aaron while I wait to get my food. I will keep coming back to try their other goods! ”
“ I had black coffee and a breakfast sandwich. Delicious. I would highly recommend More Than Coffee ! ”
“ Please please please give this place some love! The people that work there are volunteers and have special needs and their message needs to be heard. Everything was also great! I had a white chocolate blended coffee with a bacon egg and cheese sandwich and it was wonderful! I recommend to everyone! Support their cause and business you won’t regret it. ”
