The egg breakfast items leave more to be desired, but that could be just be me expecting more from a coffee shop. I did see a microwave, and I took that was used to warm up my burrito. My breakfast burrito did come out extremely hot, but Id rather have that over the cold breakfast wraps that I sometimes end up with from Starbucks and their convection ovens. The coffee is good, though I think the chai teas are a bit expensive as they start at around $4. Cleanliness is what I would expect, but that means there is definitely room for improvement. I sat at the high top by the thermostat. There were cracks in the tabletop and that is a perfect home for food crumbs to be pushed into when wiping down the table. The thermostat cover is broken and had a pretty good layer of dust on it. On a previous visit, I did sit at a table and the table did wobble quite a bit. I havent visited in the evening, but they seem to have a bar area that serves beer and wine. Overall, the coffee is good, and its a coffee shop. That makes visiting here for their coffee worth the trip. Tips: Refills are cheap and come with a book to donate. They have a free community library where you take and leave a book.

I only come here for the smoothies, and on this particular day I ordered a smoothie, they called it out and as I went and grabbed it, they told me it was someone elses. I apologized and the employees were acting annoyed. You work at a cafe, its not hard to make another smoothie. Like excuse me how was I supposed to know? If I am paying 6 dollars for a smoothie I could make at my home for $2 you better treat me better as a customer. I have called there some times and the employees will answer the phone laughing and they are completely unprofessional.

Nice place to study and hang out. Free wifi and the coffee is pretty good. The only issue I would have is parking. There is only street parking (meters and free neighborhood parking) but I would be cautious since the area is not absolutely safe. If you have a laptop, make sure you keep it in your bag/back pack (not just holding it around like a book).

Great place to hangout and/or get some work down if youre feeling stir crazy at home. Wonderful coffee and smoothies (no limit or additional cost to putting as many flavors as you want into smoothies). Also I love their sandwiches, the prosciutto is delicious. More over the place just a great vibe.

Their coffee is good and strong. Their food tends to be on the heavier side, though is better than the microwave meals you now get at other coffee places. Their baked goods leave something to be desired, but if youre in a pinch theyre fine.

. They seem to have wi-fi due to all the computers there, but people also go there to get coffee to go or meet up and actually talk over good coffee in the neighborhood. They also have good food and muffins and the like.

Good coffee, open early, friendly counter service. Wifi, plenty of comfy seating, and the hidden treasure-a great outside back patio with trees and a few tables. They should have music out there, it would be ideal.

Great place to get some work done while enjoying a good cup of coffee or tea. Thankfully, its not the usual corporate experience, just a comfortable, neighborhood hangout.

Great local coffee spot. Pretty chill. I love going on the weekends for their scones. Community loci. Love seeing everyone come through to chill, eat, chat.

Coffee is bleh -- soy milk was burned -- people are nice but service is slow. Had to wait 20min for a breakfast burrito.

Local coffee shop. Has good coffee, snacks, breakfast, and beers. Gets pretty busy but the staff is attentive.

Low key coffee shop (but looks like may be functioning as a bar at night). Music can be a little quieter.

Its gotten worse and worse over the years. I regretted paying $8 for a microwaved single egg breakfast.
