Arrowhead Coffee Company Ltd.

Coffee roasters

👍👍 First the bad. The digital scale with their logo that they drop ship is absolute garbage in every way, don't waste your money on it. Now that that unpleasantness is behind us, the good. The burr grinder they sell works as advertised, adjustable grind, all that stuff, though if you drink a lot of...

Chz Plz

Caterer

👍👍 We hired Chz Plz to do a grazing board for our cocktail hour at our wedding and it was a hit, we are so glad we chose this business to be a part of our wedding day. The grazing table was a very reasonable price and it was so much more than we imagined it to be, all of our guests raved about it!

Presotea

Bubble tea store

😠 It took half an hour to get two drinks . I literally walked home , got my car, drove back to get m and wife and she just walked out. For 10 bucks a drink that's insane.
