Our office loves to order from this place. True, service is slow and forgetful but one time they left out my dish from the delivery and the owner himself came by to drop it off.
Space is beautiful and the location is near our HQ and most of our clientele.
3.5 stars.
I was pretty excited to come here since I first discovered it last summer actually when I used to have to take a bicycle ride to my bank before I switched to a bank closer to me. I had time today in between a split shift at work, so after making lunch at home I decided to take a walk and try this place out.
My drink was alright, extremely sweet, I chose a mocha with an extra shot of espresso. I also have a muffin which I haven't eaten yet, and a snapple iced tea which is pretty much the same from wherever you get it.
I didn't really like the atmosphere too much and when I visit a coffee house, I'm there for my love of coffee but also for the atmosphere as well as being able to relax. I felt like I couldn't really sit down and relax there which is probably why I wasn't so crazy about it.
The employees were playing latin music from a radio station, latin music is fine, it can be fun and for some reason I've heard it in starbucks before and it worked for them, but it didn't really work for this place, I think because starbucks has it on a lower volume. The others customers were a bit noisy and somewhat rude and pushy to the employees so that also helped deaden the potential greatness of this place for me as well.
The seating was okay, sort of random. There was a nice long couch with two tables and chairs in the front left of the cafe, and then regular lunch/dinner tables scattered throughout the rest of the cafe. It looked like there could be outdoor seating in the back but they may have put seats away for the winter season.
So far of the few coffee shops I've visited since it's been my mission to hunt around and review coffee shops this is my least favorite. I would go back to the spoon, witches brew and babylon bean, but if I come back here it's going to be a forced come back with one of my girlfriends who would like to check it out or with my boyfriend if he really would like to go.
its was lunch time ,we needed kosher food, in this Jewish neighborhood there are a few choices. I have been here before they changed the menu as of my most recent visit 8/15/2011, packed with people very loud place small cramped table, a few tables out back out side, (nice addition if you ask me) you can get a muffin a coffee and a salad or one of their hot sandwiches like the falafel wrap , WRAP? to me a falafel belongs in a pita, the food is ok , the service is just ok, and the prices seem high but then again everything in this town is over priced. One other thing metered street parking just does not appeal to me
