Any of the end benches are the best place to sit--you can find outlets below the benches. Also, all the sandwiches come with some pasta on the side. If you order food, refills for iced tea are free!Upvote3DownvoteUpvoted 2 weeks ago
David FongJuly 24, 2014Clean, good decor, soft-lighting, chill music, wall to wall outlets, and free wifi. A students dream. Decent coffee and food, but the deserts are what's really to be noted.Upvote4DownvoteUpvoted Feb 4
Andrew CrowSeptember 28, 2014Be respectful. If you're going to camp out with your laptop, order food. If you don't need a seat with an outlet, let other people use it.Upvote3DownvoteUpvoted 1 day ago- Henry WongApril 16, 2024Come before 7 to grab a table against the wall. You have to order food but it’s the best place to sit and work. Plug outlets behind the benches.
