  Love it! Great local business. Satisfied my smoothie craving like no other place could. Real fruit and excellent service won me over. Will certainly be back to try more of the menu.
  
  Edit - I've been back multiple times, always great food/drink and excellent service.

  Falling off big time. Last three visits poor coffee.
  Will skip for a few weeks. Daily customer will try somewhere else for a few weeks.

  Ok jeez. Don't let the Location or no frills hut fool you. Good grief, this place has, by my own coffee snobbery opinion, THE best coffee. It's what I was looking for! I prefer a more of "rich & creamy" type of coffee flavor. Most other places I frequent get close or the people are nice and the coffee is just a bit better than average or, mostly, the coffee isn't "terrible" as I've become accustomed to in this town.
  
  I've been here 4 times now, and three times it was a nice gentleman making the coffee and this morning it was a gal. Every time I've came now the coffee has been ABOVE AVERAGE! WAY above. Like really good. They don't mess it up. It's served hot. It's not been too sweet. The rich creamy coffee flavor is the star. They don't try to make up for inferior coffee with sugary syrup. Today I noticed they make their own whipped cream which you can add for free, and they make their own snacks and they use local honey when they use honey. Neat! I can't vouch for any of their food items.  I've only gotten my usual coconut cappuccino with three espresso shots and they've nailed it each time. They're batting a thousand! My other places I trust to spend money at are about 8/10 good to bad drink.
  I'll keep coming here when in town, and now I have a place I can consistently count on so far!
  
  Would DEFINITELY recommend for rich, creamy coffee.

  I had a very good almond mocha.  Friendly barista.  As a plus they were open on Sunday, just the one barista working both sides but was fast enough.  Keep it up!

  Forget Me Not stands out from some of the other drive thru coffee stands in Fairbanks because of the number of creative drinks on their menu.  I was strongly torn between the 8oz menu, the Cafe Miel (latte with local honey), the Fairbanks Ice Fog (mighty leaf vanilla bean tea with steamed milk and local honey) and the Forget Me Not Latte, which has cinnamon, white chocolate, and orange in it.  Their entire menu is helpfully posted online.
  
  I chose the Forget Me Not Latte and asked how sweet it was.  The barista said he could make it more or less sweet depending on what I wanted.  I asked that he make it about two-thirds of the normal sweetness.  The resulting drink did not quite havs the thickness of foam as what I usually like, but was overall tasty and was not too sweet for me.  It is an unusual combination of flavors but they blended seamlessly.  The drink was complex but not crazy.  It very much reminded me of the Russian Tea they serve at The Kobuk in Anchorage and that is common in the Homer area and on Kodiak Island (Russian Tea is a spiced tea with orange...sometimes whole spices and dried peel or instant tea and Tang).  So it is basically a Russian Tea in coffee/latte form.  I have to give them kudos for creating coffee drink that have genuine Alaskan themes.

  Warm day in Fairbanks! We cooled down and recharged with a blended mocha (has 1 shot of espresso). Almond milk instead of reg milk had a substitution fee of 75¢.
  
  Overall really impressed! Wasn't too sweet, too espresso-y, and the consistency was just right to drink through a straw
