Stopped in Laramie on a road trip for a quick bite and anticipated takeout, but liked the cute little patio so much that we stayed for a bit to take in the sun and fresh air. The cinnamon (? unlabeled) scone was delicious as was the salted caramel oatmilk latte. Appreciated the extra drizzle on the sides of the cup to sate my morning sweet tooth. My wife loved her arnold palmer and veggie breakfast sandwich on an everything bagel. There’s something so endlessly charming about a kitschy college town coffee shop. Would definitely stop in again!

Wonderful food. Wonderful people. Wonderful space. Sometimes there's a wait or it's crowded, but that's a testament to the great food. I'm fairly convinced that I'll thank Turtle Rock in my Ph.D. thesis.

Great little place across from UW. Friendly service and varied menu. Coffee, tea, Italian sodas, sandwiches, wraps, salads. You love bacon and your partner is vegetarian? This keeps you both happy! Reasonable prices. Highly recommend!! In good weather enjoy eating outside.

Just an awesome, secret-garden kind of coffee shop with friendly staff and a tasty, innovative menu. Their baked goods and desserts are especially to-die-for! Being close to campus helps when I need to sneak away for a pick-me-up at work!

This place is awesome. Delicious sandwich, great coffee, fast service. The only downside is that the parking lot is tiny- only fits 6 cars. The atmosphere was very cozy and if I lived closer I would definitely become a regular!
