    This CBTL is especially nice because of their big outdoor fireplace. Grab a drink and sit by the circular fireplace with your feet up. Soy milk available and vegan snacks too.

    The creamers are in the wrong place. Its location blocks one of the doors and is where you pick up your order. So it creates an atmosphere where people are always in the way. Put it by the napkins.

    Tastes better than Starbucks, but the coffee bean team is not that friendly. Don't forget to smile guys, it makes us like your place more

    Small soy dark chocolate mocha with an add shot if you're feeling crazy. Otherwise, a double espresso does the trick!
