    They hold regular coffee tastings, so ask your barista when the next one is!

    Japanese iced coffee with the Ethiopian bean is a winner. Perfect for a hot day and muggy day.

    The julep is still a shot of espresso, and is appropriately sized as such. (Not that anyone forgot that when they ordered or anything...)

    This place is pretty expensive and the coffee isn’t that great - you can definitely find better tasting options nearby. The staff is always super friendly but that doesn’t make up for the coffee.

    $4.50 for a cappuccino?! Was busy in the morning, so at that price I'll make sure I can stay longer. Service isn't for speed, just so you're aware.
