Folks here are great! Get a slow drip if you're around - none of hem ever disappoint.

Order a latte and check out the back.
Bosie MoncrieffSeptember 3, 2017
The coffee is too expensive--the $5 latte barely edges out ritual--but the quality is there. Hot chocolate blah, go to dandelion to scratch that itch.

They don't accept AMEX but overall the shop is great. Nice atmosphere, quality products.

Don't be discouraged if the line is long; it moves right along, and the coffee is worth the wait. Also... the cuteness of the staff is only exceeded by their niceness.

The ratio of Apple vs other manufacturers laptops is about 99,9 to 0,1.

On the weekend, prepare for a longer wait. The coffee is well worth it!

On weekends they open an area in the back on Caledonia Alley. Only 1 barista, but no lines so ends up being far faster

Coffee roasted on the premises. Spontaneous tastings have been known to occur. Very hip and fashionable crowd here.

Bring your own WiFi, but if you forget, you can sometimes get smidgens of Internets in the very front.
