  1. I (finally) went there today – with a friend, in the late morning – and fortunately we had no problem getting seating, as it's a tiny place.  It's attractive, with exposed brick walls.  There was music playing continually, but it wasn't too terribly loud.  The young woman working there was very pleasant.

    I got a small regular coffee ($1.75), but it was just "fair".  However; all other aspects were fine, including an "A" rating from the Health Department (also, my friend told me the restroom was very clean) and I'm grateful to have a coffee house in our neighborhood.

  2. I sincerely hope they make it. Out in the hinterlands, it is a trek to get here, and I don't think it's a destination. Coffee is good, and coffee bar looks great. But it is lacking in ambience. Seating is arranged awkwardly. There are plenty of magazines to read if you want to linger, but I wanted to go. Pastries or something to munch would keep folks in here. One month old and let's hope the kinks get all sorted soon.

  3. Great coffee! I've never been to their original cafe but this 2nd location is located along my route if I'm walking from my admin building to one of my sites for work. So it's handy. And of course, they make some great cold brew coffee. Perfect for warm days!
