A good coffee shop is an integral part of the community. You learn the faces (and even the names) of the baristas, they start to recall your order, and you look forward to your daily interaction — and coffee hit! Argy from Gloria Jean’s Coffee loves meeting new faces and helping the community get that extra boost they need to have a good day.

Customers are always making Argy smile with their stories, lovely feedback, and sometimes interesting orders

“We’ve had some people order a cappuccino with no coffee! We froth the milk, add a shot of coffee in a cup, swirl it around, throw the coffee away, and add milk and chocolate on the top. Pretty interesting!”

Speaking of interesting orders, Argy gave us classified information as to some secret menu options… “Every month our staff create a mystery drink. Just ask us about it to give it a try!” Argy also said their cold drinks are what sets them apart from other cafés — but why was one secret he wouldn’t share! “I can’t tell you my secret, people need to come in store and find out!”

And once you do head down, you might just find yourself becoming a regular! Argy told us about Ben, who comes down frequently and always orders the same thing. “His go-to is a white chocolate mocha, and a ham and cheese croissant with pineapple.”

Yep, not only do Gloria Jean’s have an extensive drinks menu, but they also have some delicious food too. So what would Argy choose from the menu if he could only eat one thing for the rest of his life? “I’d choose our pesto chicken with avocado toastini. It’s healthy and tastes amazing.”

After hearing all this, we’re guessing that Argy is a bit of a foodie. So we had to ask what he would serve at a dinner party with his choice of 3 special guests? “I would serve filet mignon, and I would invite Arnold Schwarzenegger, Bruce Willis and Kiefer Sutherland.” Sounds like a delicious, action-packed kind of dinner!

So, if you’re in need of a new local, make sure you stop by Gloria Jean’s and say hello to Argy and the team. Whether you’re a critic of cappuccinos or love a latte, they’ll create the perfect brew just for you.
