The Octane Kiosk, app order only! No wait in line.

We need clarity on this process. First, there are no people at this business. This reduces labor cost. Second, everything is automated. That means you order drinks through the application, add a credit card, submit the order, go to the kiosk, scan your QR code and your drinks appear in a black cylinder turning window that opens up and you pick up your drinks and go. Third, they pride themselves on speed to order, speed to deliver. My chai tea was very good. A different flavor, I liked it. The lower cost was appreciated. I ended up calling the owner to better understand the process and he walked me through how to pick up my drinks so there was support if needed. He was helpful. I will return and I recommend. The overall experience was different, but OK.

If you don't care how your drinks taste, don't like people, don't want to leave your car, and don't want to tip, then this is the place for you! For me, the quality and taste is no different than a gas station. Pretty...terrible. For reference, I'm also not a fan of Starbies, but I do enjoy many local coffee shops where the drinks actually taste good. I also appreciate ordering from an app so my drink is ready when I arrive. It was easy to order on the app and they have a handful of options including some local Pilcrow coffee selections. They have 2 sizes, 12 or 16 oz and for milk options they offer whole, skim, or almond. It was easy enough to find, they are right off of the freeway in the back of a parking lot. However, it was a bit clumsy to scan the QR code once we arrived and it took multiple tries. I'll give them credit for asking if you have a car vs a truck so they put your drink order higher or lower accordingly. Once we got our drinks, we checked them out, we ordered a cappuccino and a chai latte, both with whole milk. Visually, they looked like gas station drinks and my friend's cappuccino tasted not too great. My chai tasted like hot milk. It smelled like coffee and a hint of cinnamon, but no chai flavor was actually tasted. We didn't end up drinking these. These just weren't our thing.Again, if you are a fan of Kwik Trip coffee drinks, I think you might enjoy Octane. Fast, easy enough, convenient. No tips, no fuss. Bonus: first drink is free when you download the app! But if you like coffee, then this spot is all hype and no substance.

octane is beyond cool!Easiest/fastest coffee you'll get ANYWHERE!!! Faster than Starbucks or McDonalds! Anyone in the Milwaukee area should stop and try this place right off I-94. Just order in the app and scan the QR code when you arrive and your coffee is served within a few SECONDS!Our personal favorites are the nitro cold brew, salted caramel cold brew, and cream city medium roast.

Had a regular cup of coffee here a week ago and was completely atrocious. Very weak, terrible taste.Staff person who took care of me was obnoxious.Much better staff and much better coffee can be found at any truck stop in Wisc.

Really bad coffee. What a dumb idea. What a waste of getting a mechanical engineering degree. On a fast cup of coffee? When there are so many important problems in the world to solve this guy wastes his degree on a bad cup of coffee you want to spit out. Weird.
