Best espresso Ive had in Florence. Have tried three of the different local coffee shops in Florence when visiting and this is the best so far. They roast their own coffee beans. The house blend is Guatemalan and Columbian. My Americano was great! Added to my favorites.

My favorite place to get coffee! They have the best cinnamon rolls, which are very popular. You need to try the Green Eye! It’s delicious. I come here whenever I’m downtown, everyone is so friendly!

I have had the pleasure of living in Florence part time because of COVID. Florence is a unique, beautiful town...what a hidden gem! One of the only spots in the downtown area to get something somewhat healthy for breakfast is Turbo Coffee. Here are my thoughts on my multiple visits and have tried many things on the menu:- Why are the employees so rude? I can remember on multiple occasions asking questions about the menu and they seemed very annoyed I was even asking. If you are that busy, hire more employees to provide the level of customer service you should be providing.- Everything is incredibly inconsistent. I have tried many of their smoothies and they taste like water...have chunks of ice left in them. How can anyone charge $9+ for this. I once got the avocado toast and the avocado was brown. In addition, they are out of ingredients ALL the time. I ordered one of their sandwiches..I am sorry, we are out of bacon.Okay, what other meat do you have?Ham, but we are out of that too....a gal starts talking to the guy ringing me up as he is finishing typing in the register....I am sorry, but she just told me we were out of tomato and avocado.So, you what you have to serve me is lettuce, bread, and mayo?- I get why this place gets busy. Its photographs well for the gram. Great job on that.But...HIRE MORE PEOPLE. I waited 40 minutes for my watered down smoothie. No apology, no let me take care of yours next time. Nothing...- Lastly, and this is why I will be done with this place.As I am waiting a very long time for my poor quality breakfast items - the owner (assuming) walks in and gets his coffee order before me. Shouldnt the owner want to take care of the customers first?... And MULTIPLE times the barbers from next door walk straight up to the counter and get their order before customers too.I hardly ever leave reviews, but my experience here is too disappointing not to share. I am not a picky person. SURELY other people have experienced this too? I would love to know I am not crazy.

This was a one time visit. Another adult got the fancy cold mocha which must be popular because another guy had ordered the same thing minutes earlier. My latte was very good. A few people inside at the seating area to the side of the counter. No frills. We were getting our drinks to go. Did not find any drinks for the kids that they were interested in but our coffee beverages were fine.

It’s okay overall, but 5 stars because it’s definitely the best coffee in the Shoals.

1. Visited on a Saturday morning at 930a. Parking is horrible. Be prepared to either park around the corner or down/across the street and walk to the restaurant. I would recommend dropping off a friend/family at the front door to secure seating before parking.2. Ambiance is cozy and pleasant. However, there is limited seating and seating is considerably close to other customers. Be prepared to stand if they are busy.3. Avocado toast was delicious. Banana nut muffin was too. Chai tea was not better than Rivertown Coffee or Starbucks.4. Pricing was reasonable. Spent about 25 bucks for three drinks, two avo-toasts, and one muffin. Not bad for the quality. We will come back.

We stayed at Gunrunner and went there for coffee and breakfast, that was great. We sat at the bar where you could see what the employees were doing. The small griddle thing they use to cook on looked they it hasn’t been cleaned in a while. They stored English muffins under a cart that it didn’t look very sanitary and laid the English muffin on the metal cart the griddle was on and that didn’t look very clean either, the girl would keep squatting down and getting muffins and having to get the food containers. It was a great place nice people but it just needs to be more sanitary.

This last Saturday we picked up some coffee and protein shakes, and coffee tasted good as usual BUT both shakes tasted like water. Not sure what happened? They used to be really yummy with thick texture. We wont be buying them if it doesnt improve :( too expensive to not know its going to be good all the time.

I came here due to staying at the Gun Running Hotel and the egg muffin sandwich so good. They were very accommodating with my food allergies. The food taste wonderful. If you want good clean tasting food, I highly recommend you coming here. I wish I had a place like this in Florida.

Friendly and helpful staff that patiently explain all the great variety of coffees. (What is a Vietnamese iced coffee?) Food items are exquisitely prepared. Cozy little dining area with just 4 tables. And the Vietnamese Iced Coffee has a big shot of sweetened condensed milk. It certainly gave me a great sugar buzz. Plenty of off street parking. Next door to Greasy Hands Barber Shop but dont worry. Barista will be very careful to not get any hair in your coffee 😉

Nice coffee shop. Liked the ambience (sort of industrial, but relaxing). The air conditioning temp was perfect (not too cold). Some interesting drinks to choose from. I enjoyed the Vietnamese iced coffee, even though it was a little too sweet (maybe ask for less condensed milk?).

Review №33

I really wanted to love this place. Its in a cute area under gentrification with a simple, unassuming aesthetic. However, when I walked in there were four employees behind the counter. One customer at a table, and one customer sitting at the bar area. The four employees were engaged in conversation and took 2 minutes to acknowledge I was standing at the counter. After I finally ordered my lattes, they did make them quickly. The milk was textured just right, but the espresso was lacking considerably in flavor. I think this place has a lot of potential, but they need to fine tune some of the details. Starting with their customer service. All that said, I will give it a second chance in the future.

Turbo has consistently excellent coffee. The teas, muffins, cookies, and everything else I,ve tried have been excellent as well. The staff have always been friendly. The sitting area is very bright and welcoming with a nice downtown feel to it. Parking is generally not too bad and its easily in walkable distance from the businesses on court street. Highly recommended!

I went in right after they had just opened so they probably weren’t quite in the swing of things yet. The atmosphere is great and it has a cool style. My frozen mocha was great. My caramel latter was pretty good. Loved the black and white scheme.

Service is quick, the drinks are tasty, and the owner displays genuine care for the customers. I had an almond milk hot chocolate, the perfect fix for a cold morning. But fair warning, Saturdays are pretty busy. If youre visiting Florence I would definitely recommend stopping by for a smoothie bowl or a stickie bun, and get some coffee while you are at it. 😉

Their green tea had such a weird taste I’ve never tasted before and their coconut mango smoothie had no flavor and you could only taste the coconut but just barely. They were friendly and I like the atmosphere but sadly other than that I didn’t have a good experience.

Review №51

Coffee so good, we drove 2.5 hours to get it! There are no coffee shops in Memphis that have figured out the food side of the coffee equation, but Turbo does it effortlessly. Avocado toast, granola, pastries, all good and reasonably priced. The coffee is great too. The space is small, but not claustrophobic.We visited on a whim months ago because we loved their Instagram feed, and now its a destination.

Great coffee shop and the best in Florence. My only complaint is there are really no quiet options inside or outside to take a business call while having your laptop.The Moca Moto is literally a revelation if you like chocolate and cold brew.

This place is so great. Acai (and other fruit) bowls, smoothies, coffee, iced coffee, and avo toast and breakfast sandwiches. I like that you can add protein powder (and other things like matcha), they have some milk alternatives and some sugar free options. And sticky buns. The staff is nice and fast, and the vibe is cool. Really glad we stumbled upon it!
