    If you LOVE flavored lattes, then this is your mecca! Ask for 1/2 syrup and you'll hit the balance of satisfying your sweet tooth but also still tasting the espresso :)

    Ask to see the monthly special charts. March is my favorite. They will mix up any combo you can dream of!

    Italian soda. Try it with different flavors. Orange and Vanilla with some half and half is a creamsickle.

    The selection of coffee (and tea, if that's your speed) is absurdly good, and the iced coffee is even better.

    Don't forget the tea! I keep our collection of full leaf teas stocked. A sampling: Sencha, Czarina Samovar, Black Vanilla, Leung Ching, Gen Mai Cha, various breakfast teas. Also equipment.

    Huge selection of coffees & teas, great for gifts. Coffee bar but no seats & not the friendliest vibe.

    If you want a good cup of coffee or tea and can't stick around to drink it, head here above all others. If you want to sit down, head to Kickstand, Argo or Intelligentsia.

    An enormous amount of tea and coffee. You cans buy it to take with you or they'll make it there for you.

    Every day they offer 3-4 varieties of drip coffee and rotate them daily from a selection of over 30 varieties - and, all for a buck. Great deal for great coffee

    Decaf that doesn't taste like warm water that's been sitting in a plastic bottle all day in your car. The staff rocks my socks, and local business rules.
