Several years ago, Ellianos Coffee established itself as a charming franchise in Valdosta, capturing my attention with its alluring coffee selections. Whenever the desire for a cup of coffee struck during my travels, I found myself frequenting their location(s). However, a significant shift occurred when the brand underwent a name change, leading to a transformation. Unfortunately, the adjusted flavor of the coffee no longer aligned with my taste, prompting me to cease my visits.
Recently, a new Ellianos branch emerged near my residence, reigniting my affection for their coffee, especially the Carmella flavor. The proximity of the shop, combined with consistently friendly staff and prompt service, has turned it into a convenient and enjoyable experience.
Despite my predominantly positive impression, I assigned Ellianos a four-star rating due to a couple of considerations. Firstly, the cups consistently fall short, being filled only halfway to three-quarters, even when I explicitly request no whip and no foam. Secondly, as a veteran-run establishment, I expected a more proactive approach in recognizing major military-related charge cards used by both active and retired military members. While I understand the hesitation to offer numerous discounts, a simple inquiry at the drive-thru window when presented with one of these cards would be appreciated.
Additionally, I've always been puzzled as to why the baristas don't stir the flavored coffee when completing the ingredient combinations. Every time I indulge in my favorite flavor, it settles at the bottom of the cup, resulting in a sudden burst of oversaturated flavor at the end of the experience, rather than a consistent infusion throughout.
I did not rate the food, as I typically do not order food from the establishment.

Never have I ever ate here and only received not even half the bowl for the price we pay for the bowls. I was cheated of my food and I'm disappointed

Yummy shakes for the kids, and a great iced coffee for me -- the Italian Toffee is amazing! My daughter devoured the banana bread - and kept asking for more! Lovely experience and a great treat for ourselves! We will be back!

I'm not very good at using my phone and the photos are not good, but this is a unique coffee shop near my residence. The taste is unique and the house is also cute. I recommend everyone to come and have a change.

My first & last visit.I asked for a small & got have of that & half of whipped cream. I knew my cup felt very light. So I waited til all the whipped cream went down & this is how much coffee I was giving for $5. This is ridiculous & cheaping people out of their money.
Great drive up coffee shop. Had a chicken salad croissant and it was fresh and delicious. Had a mint coffee which was fabulous and I drink my coffee black. Going to try their breakfast bowl 🥣 soon.
