I sometime's pick up a coffee in their drive thru. Just $1 on their app and it's pretty decent. I ask for a straw because it's easier to drink from while I'm driving. I've learned to wait 5 minutes or so to put the straw in though, because their coffee is so hot it WELDS the sides of the straw together. Needless to say, it's also too hot to drink!
