"This is my first time in years coming back to McCormicks.
The young guy that took our order was tired but friendly. The gal with bright orange hair was super friendly and personable.
The place was cleaned but super tired looking inside could use a bit of freshening up.
I had the granola parfait it was a nice size with equal granola equal strawberries. My brother had Oxford French toast that was good with fruit which we wouldn’t get again. It was just canned fruit with some strawberries for 5.00.
Over all we were happy with our meal and will come back!
The All Star here was the lattes! My Oh My! They were large sizes, nice n piping HOT.
I had one of the BEST PSL EVER! It was so sad as I sipped the last few fleeing sips of the out of this world crazy good PSL.
My brother tried macadamia nut white chocolate mocha. It was perfect flavor perfect espresso tastes. He felt the same as I did with my latte.
It’s a cute enough hole in the wall places, I was happy to try it again."

"Have been here previously to get drinks, really cute place. First time eating here, and safe to say will be strictly sticking to their coffee on the sad chance I come here again.
Ordered Biscuits and Gravy, and the Breakfast Burrito. Food game out fast, but the B & G was lukewarm and lacking flavor. They did get the Eggs right at least. The Burrito was maybe 5 inches long, came with unmelted cheddar cheese on top. The Burrito also came out cold to the touch. Asked for it to be warmed and it came back nuked from the microwave, I would have had to wait 5 minutes to eat my now dried out Burrito. They have a massive flat iron stove top but still choose to use a Microwave. If knew my food would be microwaved I would have stayed home and eaten a Hungry Man frozen dinner meal.
This is the first time in my life I have ever left a restaurant with a full meals on our plate.
Being disappointed with my experience at McCormick's an understatement."

"I don’t mind to pay $15 for biscuits and gravy. But at least make them homemade. The frozen biscuits are not good…. Definitely a one time order. Never again:///"
