Pontiac Coffee House is fantastic for coffee to go or picked up at their drive-thru. They also offer a free pastry with every drink purchase! Their Duffins, a combination of a doughnut and muffin, is a deliciously brilliant creation! I tried the Blueberry Duffin. Honestly, I loved it so much that I stole my friend's Duffin and ate it, as well! I will definitely be going back for more Duffins and look forward to trying the other Duffin varieties!! I had a triple-shot Americano and it was excellent. The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The location is directly off Hwy 71B/South Thompson, in front of the Northwest Hospital Complex.
The reasons I initially gave three stars... When the previous location, an old-school Pontiac dealership building, was purchased and torn down for newer developments, Pontiac Coffee relocated into the same building as a Jim's Razorback Pizza. Which would not necessarily be an issue except there are only about five to seven tables for indoor seating and it was uncomfortably warm inside. I went on a rainy, December morning, maybe 40 degrees outside, and even after removing as many clothing layers as possible, I was still hot and ended up taking my Americano and free Duffin to go. It was also very noisy; not made by people, but by machinery. If you need a place that is great for studying, conversation, etc this is not ideal. If you need a place that is great to go to alone, and/or to distract yourself for a bit, the humming of the machinery and abundance of people-watching available makes this the perfect place. Another neutral opinion: They are only open Monday through Friday, mornings only (0630 to 1100). A nice work schedule for the employees (No working weekends - Whewhoo!), but patrons will have to find another coffee shop to enjoy in the afternoon/evenings and during the weekend.
While writing this review, I am craving coffee and their Duffins! Unfortunately for me, today is a Saturday. Having to wait until Monday morning may just make my visit more valuable/enjoyable, though! The Pontiac Coffee House is definitely worth the wait!!
