Brian McNameeApril 21, 2010While I personally don't list this place at the top of my favorite coffee joints (emphasis on personally), I am really enjoying the Tuesday night jazz and atmosphere.
Great atmosphere, nice cappuccino, and they're open late.
Mimi smileJuly 11, 2013Their chocolate layer cake is to die for. And Animal crackers are cute touch!
Everything bagel with plain cream cheese, avocado and sprouts - trust me
Rukiyat GilbertApril 17, 2012Best waffles ever... Fresh blue & straw berries on top. Try with a chai latte. Yummy!
The food is not always the best but the hummus platter is out-of-this-world. Seriously. Get it.
Try the Roasted Eggplant Dip - One of my faves here - but I think they should try serving the dip warm instead of cold.
Best waffles ever. Never any seating room, go on an off time (never a weekend)!
Rick CorradoNovember 15, 2011New chorizo & white cheddar frittata rocks! Healthier option is spinach, shallot & gruyere. Both are awesome!
Come during a natural disaster. The sense of community is amazing. My only complaint, no wifi on Saturday. How am I supposed to track Irene?!
Great atmosphere. Eclectic group of people. The chaipuccino is delicious!!
Lucia TheresaAugust 12, 2016Great place for an end of date-night dessert. Had my first date with with my now husband here!
Lizzie MooreApril 13, 2013Chaippuccino is a little bit of heaven! And it comes with animal crackers.
Ask for our monthly barista specials made by your special barista of the morning, me.
Seriously ♥ it's like u r sitting in one of "friends" couches! Lovely atmosphere.
They shut off the WiFi on the weekends and service can be kind of slow, but their coffees are large and delicious.
Ben CaroSeptember 29, 2011Open til midnight on weeknights, 3am on Friday/Saturday. An awesome place for some late-night work!
Highly recommend the Italian flatbread, the spinach egg sandwich, and the masala chai!
Love coming here to have the best coffee ever, and read a book when I'm hungover. You should too.
Maggie DJuly 3, 2011This is my new favorite place. Full bar and coffee and comfy couches great bar tenders!
Elizabeth WertzApril 21, 2011Spinach salad with almonds, goat cheese, cucumbers, dried cranberries, and mandarin oranges with tahini vinaigrette. Trust me.
Aisha RasulJuly 17, 2011My tradition is strawberry/banana waffle w/nutella and a gigantic cup of latte... YUM!
Menus are changing, I miss the black bean and quinoi (sp?) salad Great scene!
I recommend the Shot in the Dark...good, earthy drink for the late nights!
Anna SotnikovaAugust 29, 2016Hot chocolate is not a hot chocolate, it is just a cacao. Really dissappointing. BLT Bagel was average as well as coffee. Nothing special about this place.
Music here is great but pretty loud and upbeat - not your typical relaxing cafe playlist.
Great cappuccinos with little animal crackers on the side! Love it!!
