Dropped my kid off at UW. my first impression of turtle rock was that it was a plant store or something, but as we got closer the charm was immediately apparent. It has great food solid coffee and is everything you would want in a neighborhood coffee shop. Had to swing by one more time before leaving, and will definitely be back when in town.
This place is a constant disappoint. None of the employees are polite AT ALL. They consistently mess everything up, nothing can ever be done correctly. And when asked politely to correct their screw ups, they act rude and childish. Today for example, they made a mocha Frappuccino that was not right. It tasted like watered down coffee. When politely asked to remake it, the lady rudely walked by and said “if you want it fixed you have to get up and come to the front.” When we walked around to the front, the employee was slamming things around and complaining about remaking the drink. She brought it back and rudely threw it on the table and failed to bring a straw. In other situations, they forget to make your drink entirely and then blame it on the new staff members that are working there for “doing their jobs incorrectly” in front of customers. I had to call them to refund the coffee a week later because it still had not been done although they stated that it would be done that very day. To say the least, I would advise others to go ANYWHERE but here for their coffee as the rude service and incorrect orders are not even worth the heartache. It is definitely something that you won’t feel bad about missing out on as the food and coffee are mediocre even when done correctly. I certainly will not be returning.
If you’re in the town of Lareme, Wy don’t missed the chance to go here! What an amazing place! Not only they have the best drinks, best food and best prices; the staff is outstanding, they make sure you leave happy and wanting to come back! Truly one of the best national coffee shops I’ve ever been! Thanks guys for such an enjoyable encounter, keep up the great job!
Was just driving through Laramie headed back to Seattle and read the reviews. They were RIGHT! Coffee was delicious and the breakfast sandwich I had and my brothers burrito was SPOT ON!!! This little gem of a cafe can hang with any in the Seattle area. The gals running the cafe were super friendly and patient with our slow (exhausted road trip) order. Fantastic place, 5 stars all the way!!
Great local coffee shop next to UW campus. Tasty coffee, decent prices, awesome cinnamon rolls. And friendly staff and vibe. All good!
Hands down! Best in the universe. Starbucks cant compete with Turtle Rocks coffee. Smooth and yummy. My favorite is a Honey Vanilla Latte. Check it out.
The sandwiches here are so good. I have a hard time deciding for both breakfast and lunch sandwiches. They are big and have such good ingredients. For breakfast sandwiches they have two different Lox options as well as the Happy Jack. I eat a few of their veggie lunch sandwiches too because they are so good even though there are plenty of meat options. The breads, veggies and sauces are just good. Seating is often full but it is worth taking it to go.
Such a cute coffee shop, great food, chill environment, staff was awesome! Loved this place and plan to return.
Close to UW campus. Professional and sophisticated baristas make every experience a joy. Great tea. Creative menu! Outdoor patios are perfect to work or meet colleagues.
Amazing food, amazing and friendly staff. We had the Hodgepodge salad, the Mac & Cheese and the Mojo-JoJo... all were stellar! Their blackberry vanilla frappe is out of this world!! My puppy loved Turtle Rock too!Thanks Turtle Rock Cafe!
Great customer service, unique atmosphere & decor. Lunch options looked delicious, but we were just in for a coffee. Excellent job on the mocha (and we know mochas).
Really good coffee and I love my coffee. I also got the Funky Monkey sandwich and it was delicious! People are fantastic and so nice!!
Great little place for awesome smooth coffee and yummy food. Staff is very friendly. Bonus- you can walk from campus!
A welcoming and tasty oasis on our long road trip! Sandwiches were fresh and very tasty. Good drinks too!
Im giving a 5 star because their peach mango smoothie is delicious but Im hoping its not a cruel practice to only give a tiny straw to drink it with? I went back and was told thats all they had. I took a spoon but doesnt make it easy to drink with needing to drive. In hoping they are out of stock I just wanted to encourage the owners to please keep the great experience going by giving the right utensils for the product offered.
Amazing coffee and food! I had their breakfast recently and was perfect for morning hunger. Best place in town if you are looking for coffee and breakfast/lunch yogether..
Nice sandwich options. Solid coffee.
Stopping through and stopping here was a good idea love the food and the baristas are good at making drinks!
Coffee, food, and atmosphere. Everything is great
Nice coffee shop, specially the outdoor seating.
The house blend at Turtle Rocks is great, the cookies are good, and outdoor seating is usually available. Staff are very helpful and friendly.
Turtle Rock is a wonderfull cosy cafe! Plenty of indoor snap outdoor seating Nice for relaxing. We had some great sandwiches including a mojo black bean And turkey on a fresh light focaccia bread. There veggie tales salad was delicious! The staff were very nice and the Sundays coffee was very good
Ordered an Ay Cramba over the phone. The lady taking my order said it would be about 15 min. I walked in about 5 min after I made the call and it was ready. Exceptional service. It also was the juiciest Ay cramba I have ever had, delicious food, great atmosphere, and great service. Always a regular stop for my food cravings or lunch breaks.
Standard sandwhich shop. They do not have dairy free cheese, so you will need to have cheese left of the vegetarian sandwhich if you are trying to stay vegan. Would be cool if they got local meat and produce, but I dont think they do. Also, the coffee typically is not great imo, sort of mediocre/average. A coffee lover/foodie will probably not be satisfied, but if you are just trying to find somewhere to eat that is not downright bad, then this is pretty much your only option near or on campus.
We had great coffee and sandwich. Friendly atmosphere.
Fabulous customer service and good food and coffee drinks.
Great coffee shop, love the sandwiches. Must stop.
They have good steamers (caffeine free) and good food. The milk in the steamer was not curdled. The prices are fair and the staff is friendly. I would go here again.
Great coffee and close to campus!
Great food, great atmosphere.
I am a regular customer at Turtle Rock, and I have been coming here for years. I come here almost everyday to get a coffee before work. My husband and I got to Turtle Rock almost every Friday to get their delicious red pepper and gouda soup. The coffee and food here is some of the best Ive ever had, and the customer service is generally very good. Today, however, I dealt with an extremely rude employee. This is not the first occurrence either. She has been unfriendly and rude in almost every encounter Ive had with her, but today was the last straw. As usual I placed my order for red pepper gouda soup and was coming to pick up my food. The employees were still working on my order, so I went ahead and put my things down at a table. I was about to leave to go grab my husband, and the rude employee stopped me. She yelled at me in front other customers and employees saying that I could not leave my things there if I was leaving. I cordially responded that I had been allowed to do it before, but I would respect the change in policy. Another employee started to say I could leave my things there, but she snapped at him too, telling him it wasnt allowed. I quickly grabbed my order and left. I understand that this is now the policy, but it was the way the employee handled the situation that upset me.
Most delightful little cafe! If you aren’t immediately charmed and entertained by the menu names then you have no soul. The staff was very friendly and the restaurant was very cleanly, orders came out quickly and the food was delicious! Will definitely be stopping here again when in town!
First time here. Really liked it, would go back.
Such a cute little place!! We wanted a little bite after some hiking, and they did not disappoint! We got a panini and a vegetarian sandwich and both were delicious! I also had a strawberry shake that was amazing as well! Highly recommend!
Piping hot fresh food!! We are vegan, and its often hard to find food to eat easily. The staff was super nice about adjusting ingredients in the menu items for us without being annoyed. The coffee and London fog (with soy of course) were amazing!!
Real nice folks.
Always love going and getting coffee and peanut butter crunch wrap
Cool little Cafe. We got to sit on the patio with our dog to enjoy a nice morning. I enjoyed the cinnamon roll and breakfast sandwich. Both were fantastic.
Loved the white chocolate hot coco. And coffee is great.
Cool little place with good food and coffee, relaxing and comfortable.
I ordered the lox bagel sandwich and it was served with chunks of canned salmon. That’s not lox! My boyfriend also said his chai latte tasted like warm milk with no flavor.
Best place to get coffee in Laramie! Period! There coffee is always smooth and never tastes burnt like other main stream franchises do. They also have a coffee card so you can get a free drink on the 10 punch, also everyday you have a chance to get a free stamp by answering the trivia question of the day. If your craving chocolate ask for a mud puddle blended they are amazing. Turtle Rock offers amazing friendly service, they will get your drink right. They also can make specialty drinks; just ask. Dont forget they also have old menus you can order from; just ask. There caffeine cool down there. 😀
Turtle Rock is a cozy spot to get an excellent coffee, tasty sandwich, or hot bowl of their daily soup. As long as you dont mind the occasional college student, this is a perfect spot to meet up with an old friend and catch up. Turtle Rock has an excellent selection of pastries, sandwiches, soups, and beverages. But for all of the items they sell, they never sacrifice the quality of the service they provide.
Excellent coffee. Tasty and fresh breakfast selections. Very friendly service. Cozy seating in this converted home. Lively atmosphere.
The food amazing! Price point amazing! Ally amazing!
Absolutely FANTASTIC!! The food is delicious but I love the service the BEST!! Great friendly as well as efficient staff. Very hard workers in a very busy place. We are from Gillette and this is our 1st experience in Laramie, our 1st place to eat at in town and we LOVED IT!! We had to get double the order of Mac and Cheese and my Hodgepodge Salad was massive!! I fell in love with the Guten Free Cheese Sandwich as well as the AMAZING coffee!! I am not exaggerating and would give this place 10 stars!!!
Great little coffee shop and delicious food.
A college coffee shop with great coffee and food. Its worth the short jaunt off of the Interstate and you can see some interesting houses on the way. The only negative was there were a lot of flies inside the day we were there.
Great coffee, great service.
Great, luscious iced coffee. Really tasty cinnamon rolls. The lunch menu looked great, looking forward to visiting this place while Im in school.
I love Turtle Rock! The drink menu has a great selection and I love the food choices they have! I can always count on friendly and fast service with a wonderful environment!
The women at the counter were so sweet and helpful. We were stranded when they closed the roads yesterday, and my latte was awesome!
Quick easy coffee shop/cafe in Laramie! I like this place, it’s nothing fancy but it’s reliable, the staff is pleasant, and they try to have a fun menu without going over the top. They do have food and it’s fine for a quick bite.
Turtle rock has such a homey, cozy vibe, and their sandwiches are so delicious! Im a frequent customer, and Ive never once been disappointed by either the food or the service:)
This is a happy place. Of all the coffee shops Ive been to, by far my favorite. Absolutely love the food options too
Great coffees and fantastic breakfast sandwiches! They even have gluten-free bread and bagels available!
It’s my favorite coffee shop! They have delicious drinks and food! Good service too!
Nice, very slow
Very cute and comfortable atmosphere.
A little pricey and can take some time to get through the line (mostly because the place is usually busy. It is a favorite for students looking to grab some coffee or lunch while on campus. But if you are driving in during normal school hours to eat here, you may find it tough parking. There food is excellent and the staff is super friendly and warm.
Good creative sandwiches. Friendly staff. Inexpensive. This used to be our favorite spot in college and we go back there everything we come back into town.
Turtle Rock is my favorite coffeeshop in Laramie. The staff are always friendly, the food and drinks are delicious, and the patio has such a warm and welcoming environment. I love coming here for lunch.If youre unsure what to order, food-wise, try the Mojo Jojo (vegetarian) or the Manchester (turkey). :)
Ive only been there for the sandwiches, which are life altering. They are delicious. The staff is friendly, polite, they are quick and the location is clean. It is a must have if you are visiting for a few days or wanting to explore more of the better and quiet places to have great food.
Delicious and served with love!
I love the sandwiches and coffee drinks here. Best coffee shop in town in my opinion. It can get a bit crowded during the school year during lunch time.
Love, love, love! The patios is awesome, their coffee is delicious, the baristas are fast, effeciant and really friendly! Best coffee shop in Laramie!
WOW! Great find! Everything we had excellent and very reasonably priced! Warning:the 1/2Sammie-1/2salad or soup combo...the “1/2” salad is more than a “whole” salad at most restaurants ! We will be back!!
Good coffee and food. Casual place good for breakfast or lunch. Very crowded at lunch time because of the college crowd. You can order ahead though and pick up.
The staff and food are always amazing. Never a bad experience here!
I love this place. Great menu selections. Super friendly and helpful staff, willing to make special orders. Lovely outdoor seating.
Turtle Rock is probably the best Cafe in Laramie. I love their breakfast scrambles.
Great variety with a nice menu. Great staff, but a little too hurried. I wish they would change the layout, it feels clustered and cobbled together. Also, the line is right at the entry way. It’s looked the same for the last ten years and like the interior layout there is an air of exhaustion here. Could be a gem, of someone would care enough.
GREAT espresso! WONDERFUL service! Fantastic atmosphere!
This is my favorite coffee shop. I spent a lot of time here in college and I love coming back here when I visit my folks. Great staff and atmosphere.
Decided to go in for a coffee when I was on an energy slump, not only were the workers super friendly, but they were happy to offer their expertise - resulting in what could only be called the perfect order. Thank you for a great coffee drinking experience!
Great place and the best price for coffee around town. The biggest challenge is finding a place to sit since the location is rather small and always busy since its right next to the university.
Great place great coffee! The staff are awesome as well. Best late ever!!
Good food and a really good chai latte. Food is PRICEY for what you get, but its pretty good and typically healthy. Fun place.
Great variety of hot and cold drinks and food; wonderful service
Thanks So Much, staff today turned a salad into a wrap for us! Everythings always great, food and drinks! A special Laramie place!
Everyone who works at turtle rock is pretty chill, its got a good laid back vibe and being right attached to campus essentially is helpful and efficient. Food and drink there is good and I usually spend too much there but its worth.
Been going there for years. Lots of local character. Indoor and outdoor tables and yummy coffee, food and ice cream.
The drinks and food are good and the baristas are super nice. I like being able to get my coffee from people who arent gonna judge me. Just watch out for lunch, it gets super packed!
Best coffee in town and great catering. They were so easy to work with and made catering a work lunch as simple as an email and pickup.
Great lattes in a nice cozy shop. Has an outdoor area as well. Definitely visit again when in town.
Decent coffee. Outdoor seating. Close to campus. Ridiculous cinnamon rolls. Not terribly expensive.
Hipsters will love this place. Im not a self idemtifying hipster however so thats why the 3 stars. I love the tea though. They make a dank London fog.
Always a great place to get coffee and something to eat. Love sitting out on the patio.
Delicious food, great service, amazing prices
Absolutely adore this place. The food is always amazing, the atmosphere comfortable and cozy, the service fantastic.
A bit pricey, but the food is delicious!
Great environment. Friendly staff. Delicious food and great coffee!
Best local coffee. Hands down. Dont go anywhere else. If you go anywhere else you will be disappointed.
Good lunch spot, tasty sandwiches. Sitting outside is nice (weather permitting, of course). Can be crowded during the semester.
Great place for lunch! Tuesday is Tomato Bisque soup day...highly recommend!!!!
