Acme Coffee Review Queue: 1 Unanswered High-Priority Google Review, Yelp and Trustpilot Not Reachable
Entity interpretation: acmecoffee.com returned an empty page in both fetch attempts, so I could not confirm it as the official site. The closest verifiable match is Acme Coffee Roasting Co, 485 B Palm Ave, Seaside, CA, whose website is acmecoffeeroasting.com per Google Places. This is an inference, not a confirmed match to your domain. Please confirm before replying to anyone.
Totals (window 2026-08-06 to 2026-10-05, Google only): 7 items, 7 with no owner reply in the data returned, 1 High. Urgency for 5-star rows is my judgment: Medium where the review raises a fixable point, Low for praise.

Data source for all rows: Google Maps reviews retrieved through SerpApi on 2026-10-05, saved in data/google_reviews_window.md. "Already answered: No" means no owner reply appeared in the data returned; I did not view the live Google page, so confirm in your Business Profile. Rows 2 to 7 link to the listing because I did not copy their individual review permalinks into this report; the data file holds the review details.
Recurring themes

Do next
- Reply to row 1 first, after confirming the reply wording. Consider sharing the staff comment internally.
- Confirm the official domain. acmecoffee.com was empty, while Google lists acmecoffeeroasting.com.
- Check Yelp and Trustpilot yourself (see Coverage), since I could not read them.
- Post short thank-you replies to rows 2 to 7 if you want 100% reply coverage.
Open items
- acmecoffee.com is unconfirmed as belonging to this entity. A Yelp page for Acme Coffee Roasting in Seaside appeared in search results, with a search title reporting 547 reviews, but I could not open it.
- No Trustpilot profile for acmecoffee.com could be confirmed. Other Trustpilot search hits belonged to unrelated roasters.
Coverage
Google: checked, 7 items in window. Yelp: unreachable (403 and empty results on direct fetch, Bright Data and SerpApi). Trustpilot: unreachable (403 and robots block), so no profile confirmed. Reddit, BBB, app stores, G2, Capterra: not searched in depth; one web search surfaced no relevant items. Treat these as not covered.
