My jolly rancher green apple lotus kicker just tastes like seltzer water with a dash of like syrup added to it. Explains the color- barely any. My husband’s dragonfruit kicker turned out better/more flavorful. Last pic is how bright the green apple kicker was advertised compared to the seltzer water I was given.

The employees here are always friendly, the drinks are great. We loved supporting a small business and prefer to do so but food menus has changed. What were previously great fresh made sandwiches are now frozen sandwiches heated in a microwave. For $28 with tip for two small sandwiches and an egg bite we will pass in the future. Unfortunately we can get better quality and taste at McDonald’s or Chick-fil-A at half the price. We will continue to stop for beverages though. Again, this pains me to write because the employees here are fantastic and the food was great.

Love the coffee here & LOVE that I can order ahead via the app. Sad to see the food menu change & remove all of the gluten free options. It was the only place I could get a drive through breakfast sandwich. Other than that specific-to-me-and-GF-folks comment, I love having Chillin’ in the neighborhood.

I used to go here everyday for the best vegan bagel and coffee but unfortunately now that the menu has changed it’s not worth it to me anymore. I hear you saying the food wasn’t sustainable bc it added wait time but the people who supported your business didn’t mind waiting or paying extra for delicious food. While I understand your reasoning, I feel that with so many people expressing their disappointment you should revert back to your old method and do away with your new food vendor that isn’t even come close to the quality you used to offer. Again m, I understand your reasoning but with all the feedback I don’t think this is something you should double down on. You were fabulous before and people will wait longer or pay more for better quality food options!

My family and I have LOVED Chillin Drive Thru since the opening last year. The staff is super nice and the drinks are always great and affordable. They recently changed up the food menu, making it smaller and switching to frozen stuff to be quicker. WE LOVED THE MENU – the sleeve of bacon, the burritos, etc.
I grabbed a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant and honestly was pretty disappointed. It’s just not the same as before, but they’re still charging the same prices. The food used to be so good and went perfectly with the drinks. I’ll definitely keep coming for the drinks and awesome staff, but I really hope they bring back the fresh food or adjust the prices.

I’m SO upset to be writing this review. Two months ago I would have given five stars. I told everyone about this place, I was obsessed. There’s not a lot of options in the area for good breakfast sandwiches that don’t require you to be seated. This was THE place! The only other options are chains like Panera (which stops breakfast early). I’d really prefer to not support chain restaurants, which is why I loved Chillin’.
However, they recently changed their menu to prepared items only. This is super unfortunate because there are no breakfast sandwich options without meat. As a vegetarian this is my biggest problem at places with “grab and go” menus. They’re just not inclusive.
The drinks are good but to be honest I don’t see myself coming back here anymore since the menu has changed.
Hate to write this review as I was such a fan. If the menu ever changes I’ll give it another go, but for now I don’t see myself going back 🙁

I’ve been several times now and have routinely been pleased with the service. The coffee is really good and the breakfast sandwiches are delicious. My pups also love their special pup cups. Highly recommend!

Had the sesame Chicken Wrap- Enough to feed two people if they are not too hungry, but enough to feed a hungry individual.
Green Apple Jolly Rancher Lotus (Plant based energy drink)- Fantastic tasting drink! Highly recommend.
Sausage, Egg, & Cheese Croissant- portion size is above average. Larger than your typical breakfast sandwich but manageable to consume.
2 hash browns- Good hash browns
Hot chai Latte- It is really good.

I was here a few weeks ago and got an iced chai latte and a sleeve of bacon. The chai was very flavorful (unlike some competitors) and NPL has the best breakfast bacon around so figured Chillin’ probably used the same and it seemed to be. I went back again this weekend and was disappointed in their new grab and go food menu. The bacon, egg, & gouda on ciabatta was smaller than expected and the bacon was formed in a round shape so knew it wasn’t prepared in house. I understand the need to be fast and get folks in and out but I sure do hope they reconsider their food offerings. Also my medium iced chai was filled to the top with ice. I understand different folks are making different drinks every time so hopefully that isn’t their standard going forward or I’d ask for light ice. Finally, I do see the confusion with the drive thru itself. My first time there I thought the trailer in the back was where you picked up your food.

This place used to be our go to for food and coffee (even during the afternoon), but they cut back almost all of their food options and the few they have you can’t customize (it’s all premade and still costs the same). If you are vegan, vegetarian, or just don’t want meat forget, about getting hot food anymore. Even though they still have coffee, they lost my business completely. Would rather drive elsewhere at this point…
Edit: Tried giving them a chance today with just coffee. No mobile ordering was allowed for today (only future orders). Tried both the app and website. The drinks weren’t made as well.
