Customer Reviews

I go to Dubs on a pretty regular basis and the coffees are always good, the restaurant is clean and inviting, and the service is always great. I meet clients here in a regular basis since I work from home. So glad to have Dubs in our town!

Down visiting for a conference and stopped in to grab some treats and coffee! Ordered and affogato and it was delicious! Had the espresso with vanilla custard. Also, got a small iced macchiato with and extra shot, and it was very tasty! The donuts looked really good, but maybe I?ll try them the next time I am here. The staff was nice and there was plenty of room to sit and visit.

Unique coffee and ice cream spot in the heart of Paoli. The setting is really cute. The homemade custard was delicious. Husband enjoyed his latte. It?s Christmas time and they had a variety of seasonal custards. I would definitely be in here often if I was local. Limited parking in the lot. We parked on the street.

Sat and watched some Srrawberry Custard being made for someones wedding this weekend. So many flavors. If. You love coffee and custard ,ice cream also. Very friendly and welcoming staff. Very enjoyable place and peaceful.

Such a cute little place! The Dub's Special Shake tasted great and so did the scone. Thanks for the awesome service, we will definitely be back!

Deb's was absolutely amazing!!!!! We were treated well by staff and the banana split was sooooo good!!!!!!!! Glad we found this place!!!!

Really love stopping at this place on my way to Peru's around my town. I always get the Americano coffee and if you come there on certain days they have fresh baked donuts. They will treat you with the utmost respect that a typical human being deserves

This was my second time visiting. Both times, the employees were neither friendly nor engaging. They just stare at you until you order. I asked for recommendations since I wasn't familiar with the menu, and they had no suggestions. I wasn't impressed with the smoothie or the snow cone. I would like to try their specialty coffee drinks though so I will eventually give it another shot. I gave the atmosphere a 5 because it is very clean and welcoming with ice cold air conditioning and plush couches throughout.

Kid's loved the experience of selecting their own smoothie flavors and then adding boba. Coffee is absolutely wonderful! We have tried half dozen coffee places within a 15 mile radius and this has been the best.

Ice cream was ok...service was not great. The two who were working were not very helpful and not friendly at all! The guy actually taking orders

Loved the spot! Employees were welcoming and treated us well. Nice atmosphere and good coffee

nothing was posted about an event happening, and me and my family just wanted some coffee because we are not from around here. Said we ?had to leave? and could not serve us.

Great ice cream in what was once a service station. Really good coffee, too. Try an affogato for the best of both worlds.

Staff was accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended for a quick chill treat with the family.

Supper nice employees. Were out of stuff, but that is understandable. Got order wrong,but fixed it swiftly. Would recommend.

The best cinnamon roll pastries I?ve had in a very long time ?

My husband and I were passing through while traveling. It was after 8pm and I was wanting a coffee, so the Dubs open sign caught my eye. The lady who took my order kindly answered my questions about the menu, then she made me a delicious iced latte! I do wish they had half and half, but overall it was a great experience and I greatly appreciated that they were open late!

Never would I have thought I'd like a muffin this much. I dont eat muffins. I had their orange muffin, blew my mind. Soooo good. Cherry on top was the carmel mocha kiss frappe with white chocolate and carmel drizzle on it. Best wrapped I've ever had. The 2 lady's working were friendly, helpful & kind.

Looking for something fun on a hot Saturday afternoon while camping nearby. Cute town! I had an affogato (ice cream w espresso poured over top), and my husband and son had their homemade custard. Great service. Delicious! Plenty of indoor seating options and a few tables outside, too.

Good, efficient and very friendly staff. The coffee is great, and the machiotto's are fantastic. Alas, I'm always to late to try the donuts, they go fast, but the one croisant I tried was delicious.

The latte was decent. But we came for coffee and doughnuts - turns out doughnuts are only on certain days. That needs to be posted on Facebook or a website, so people don't waste their time. We would have loved to sat and enjoyed our coffees.

I drive here all the way from English sometimes! Great place to sit down and chill out for a while with a good cup of coffee.

Really tasty ice cream, the croissants were amazing!

This place has great ice cream, however that being said we just spent $15.00 on two iced coffees, that tasted like ice milk. No coffee taste at all. Big waste of money

Stopped in for a Caramel Frappe and it was pretty good! Had tons of caramel in it. The inside of the place was really nice although parking was not the best. I suggest parking down the one way on the right side of the building.

Simply the worst frozen custard ever? watery tasteless ..the marshmallow sauce was completely flavorless also.., the canned whip cream was flat and liquified? yuck!!!

AMAZING coffee and service was A+ we will be back very soon! Absolutely beautiful coffee shop. Thank you!

I had the peppermint patty ice creM Nd it was amazing! The atmosphere was relaxed and inviting. The staff was friendly and polite, and the place was clean and comfortable. We will be back!

Great staff and the shop itself is a great place to sit down and relax. Coffee is always excellent and the flavors of the week keep my fiance coming back

The iced coffee they gave me was gross. Tasted like a sugar drink! My husband got a dipped cone and it wasn't even done right or the right chocolate for it. The chocolate is supposed to get hard! It was like caramel!! Ridiculous

For the 2nd time on a Saturday at around 1030 my son and I were sadly disappointed that they don't do ice cream/custard until noon. Such a bummer on a Saturday, when you want a treat while you do errands.

Ordered two caramel macchiato coffees, and 4 donuts. Walked out with nothing. Instead of working on my order the woman making coffee. Choose to come to the register to figure out how to pull up past orders and complain about there being no training in the place. After five minutes of listening to her complain, and also needing to be at work I just walked out. Next time I will go to hucks and get my coffee.

The ice cream was very gritty.And nobody that work there cared Was also not impressed with the selection of flavors not a place to take your children

They made a delicious coffee. Great look on the inside and staff were very welcoming.

Mango Smoothie w/ Strawberry Boba never disappoints ??

Good flavored drinks. To much ice in the lattes. Not worth the money.

luv this place!!! Excellent service and coffee is absolutely fantastic!!

Really clean friendly and fresh

Fantastic! I had a chocolate malt and it was absolutely divine. I highly recommend Dub's .

The waffle cones were stale, and the choc soft serve ice cream was unavailable.
