  Serendipity is a nice find in Dickinson. The atmosphere is generally warm and inviting, with fun and funky artwork displayed on the wall. I've visited 3 times now - twice when I came to visit the town, and now again on my first day as a new resident. On one of my visits it was very crowded but the Reuben was well worth the wait. Coleslaw is uninspired and appears to be store bought.
  
  They also make a good green tea latte - a lot of coffee shops don't do that well. Lots of hot tea options as well - much appreciated!

  This review is specifically for the indoor part of the cafe. It's not very accessible, and I got the impression that they didn't actually want customers ordering or sitting in there, despite the room full of indoor tables and comfortable chairs.
  
  First of all, it was difficult to find the entrance. I walked around the building a couple times, and finally walked into the barbecue joint next door to ask directions. Turns out the entrance is through the same door as the BBQ place. But you have to squeeze yourself through a 6-inch-wide opening that is mostly blocked by the BBQ place's menu sign to get into the coffee shop area (this would not work at all for wheelchair users).
  
  Second, there is no menu on the wall inside. There is apparently a paper menu that they will hand you if you ask, but they ignored me for so long that by the time I finally got someone's attention to place my order, I didn't want to risk losing it again by looking at a menu, so I just ordered something I could see that they had (mint tea -- it was fine).
  
  Third, the indoor order window is so high up in the wall that the baristas can only see the top of your head. This makes it easy to ignore customers... which they did. (This arrangement would also not work at all for a wheelchair user or even someone short.)
  
  That brings me to my final gripe -- while I recognize that they do have a long line for their drive through, I stood there for 10 minutes before they even acknowledged me. I was starting to wonder if I was invisible! I've worked at a busy coffee shop before, so I get it, but it doesn't take much effort to give a customer a quick, "we'll be with you in just a minute, thanks for your patience." I was about about 30 seconds away from giving up and going elsewhere by the time they acknowledged me.
  
  If you can actually get them to give you a drink, the chairs are comfortable and it's a good place to sit. They have good wifi if you can find an employee who knows the password (that took some work).
  
  This place didn't feel at all friendly or welcoming. It's probably fine for the drive-through, as that seems to be their primary business, but this wouldn't be my first choice on my neck visit to Dickinson.

  Best price on the Red Bull zingers! Wide selection of flavor syrups! Great breakfast sandwiches!

  Apparently only a drive thru place though I do see chairs and tables inside and out. Nice and new setup location. So in drive thru line getting Americano hot drink with honey. Good service and drink.

  Opens at 6 but not really. We couldn't figure out where to even enter and the doors were locked. So we tried the drive thru and asked for a menu and she said she didn't have one. So my husband ordered a coffee and it was pretty freakin gross. Overall this was a bust.
