I went on a coffee run for the crew and found Star’s coffee. Katie didn’t flinch when I asked for six different drinks, all with various special instructions, she smiled and shut her open light off so she could pay full attention to my order. That is service! Star’s serves Kaladi Brothers coffee, which is always excellent. They’ve got everything here…including Hawaiian shaved ice, $3 hot dogs and various baked goods. Worth a stop if you’re in Homer.

Walked up to the drive thru and was greeted by ever friendly Lacy! So sweet and kind and friendly! Ordered a Blue Moon special and a decaf Americano. Both absolutely delicious! Even got a selfie with Lacy

COUNT YOUR CHANGE! Handed the girl a 20, got change for a 10, and it was obvious by her response when I pointed it out that she was well aware of it.
Think about that: swiping an extra 10 dollars on every mocha sold would put hundreds of unearned, untaxed, stolen dollars a day in her pockets.
I have no clue why we still gave her a tip! Next time, I’m intentionally paying with a 20 and counting my change carefully… and if this happens again we’re going to have an indepth conversation. Homer is a great place full of friendly, trusting people… taking advantage of that trust is a ROTTEN thing to do!

After waiting nearly 10 minutes for the truck in front of us to get his order of three drinks, we ordered a 20oz iced nonfat raspberry white mocha, and a 16oz hot nonfat raspberry white mocha. The barista looked at me like I spoke a foreign language, then said they were out of nonfat milk and only had whole milk (based on the jug she was holding, she meant 2%). I said that was fine and I paid what would’ve been the total for the 20 ounce and the 16 ounce. We then received a 16 ounce iced choc mocha and a 16 ounce hot choc mocha. Regular chocolate, not white chocolate, and no raspberry flavoring in either. And there were weird sugar crystals in the bottom of the iced one. After she handed them to us out the window, I sat there waiting for her to come back because I was going to ask what the drinks were, but no one ever came out to the window so we just left.

Go to any other coffee shop in Homer. 9 out of 10 times they get my drink wrong.
Paying $7 for a 16oz lotus just for it to taste like syrup and the order to be wrong entirely. Not worth it anymore.

Like others, I’ve had consistent bad coffee’s from here. Lukewarm drinks, sour black coffee, burned shots. The baristas are kind. A suggestion I’d have as a consumer would be to educate the baristas more on coffee, what makes a good coffee, what makes a bad coffee, how to pull proper shots.
I’ve given this shop many chances due to the great location but not spending money here any more. And not to mention, prices are astronomical here compared to others. I really wanted to love this shop, but it isn’t for me.
Those ham and cheese croissants though…deliiiightful. Best item I’ve had there.

There was a lovely gal with cool hair working, she was patient while I was indecisive. Ended up getting a half Alaskan Chai and half Zen Chai and it was delicious. I’ll be back because the Chai was good and the vibes were great.

I ordered a frappe and it was barely cold. I understand that it’s a blended drink so there will be liquid but this was all liquid and no ice. It was like she made the drink with super hot liquids and poured it over a cup of ice and it had all melted immediately while she made it. So it looked like a mud puddle in a cup and was completely melted when she handed it to me. I also ordered 2 small steamers and the cups were cold to the touch when she handed them to me. The drinks were not even luke warm. The barista was nice enough but the drinks were not worth the $24 I spent on them. Will not be going back. (I also got a ham and cheese croissant for my daughter and she said that was luke warm but tasty)

I am the manager of Hyer Grounds Espresso in Wasilla and am very hesitant to buy coffee at shops I haven’t tried before. I ordered a 16oz quad shot iced white chocolate americano with heavy cream and it was perfect!!! I was very very happy with my coffee and it tasted exactly how I would make it at my shop!! We carry Kaladis at my shop and I know how particular it is to use that bean, great job girls!! This is the first shop that I had never tried before where I loved the coffee; next time I go to homer I will definitely be stopping by <3

I randomly pulled in here after dropping my husband off to fish at 6:30am. She was nice and coffee was good! Not too bitter for my mocha.
