    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.

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

    Unimpressive. Like an Au Bon Pain or a Panera with more hipster cred. Sandwiches are overpriced and sub par.

    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.
