Go to Diesel Cafe and try the egg and cheese sandwich on focaccia instead of the default bagel. Fewer calories, tastier.

try the cider delux while it's still in season or the tuck's turtle!
Greg PfeilApril 25, 2010
I love the food, but the wifi is the worst— expensive, slow, and unreliable. Every few months I forget the pain and sign up again, then quickly regret it.
Kiersten MaillerMay 8, 2012
This place sucks. The food is great, but they charge for wireless and are always packed with people taking up 4 person tables by themselves. Go to Starbucks.

Vietnamese coffee is the best!

Use Starbucks wifi! Attwifi.
Nick MartucciJuly 6, 2013
Unimpressive. Like an Au Bon Pain or a Panera with more hipster cred. Sandwiches are overpriced and sub par.
Ryan W. CohenJuly 20, 2010
The rooibos iced tea is scrumptious.
Ariana HerlingerNovember 13, 2011
