I used to pop in here from time to time when I worked in the area. The place was pretty busy, and many local area folks were regulars. I was not impressed by the coffee, nor the serving area that herds customers into shoulder to shoulder standing room while trying to prep their coffee. Poor design. I don't know, I'm... More

I went in for a smoothie and ordered the creamsicle. The boy behind the counter dropped the ice scooper on the ground and then continued to make my drink without washing it off!! Even when he dropped it he looked at the other barista with and inquizative "did she see that" look and they both gave a "f@#k it" look... More

Went to try their espresso, since I'm used to very strong coffee, but it was just unbearable, even with some milk or just a macchiato. Never left a whole coffee at the store . Also, the service was not very nice, the clerk seemed to be unhappy with his job.

Good coffee, aroma is wonderful. Pastries are available but I only had the wonderful coffee. This appears to be mostly a take out place and has a very loyal clientle.

This great for coffee beans to take home. It's not intended to be a cafe in the manner of Starbucks, although they may have started with that in mind. We have a preference for the way that they roast their beans. Price is on a par with competitors.

We decided to have an espresso in this place because it looks very local and claims to have good roasted coffee. But it was a disillusion. The espresso was awful. It had lots of water. A lady was complaining about it. She ordered 4 shots of espresso and it was terrible. The staff wasn't helpful. Starbucks recycles but this local... More

I like the sevice and I think the coffee is the best. Get a free cup with 12 visits when you sign in. Their extra snack foods are from wonderful bakers around the city.

The coffee is good, but they lie about it. The fair trade organic is not fair trade or organic. Four of the decaf beans they sell are all the same blend labelled differently. A lot of the regular blends change formula's from week to week, but keep the same name. Not only are the owners liars, but they barely know... More
