There are many places to get better coffee and/or equally good coffee AND at more affordable prices. We had a 15 min wait for 2 coffees and 2 breakfast burritos. Given the wait I expected greatness. The burritos were warm on the outside and just below room temperature on the inside. This means they are just poorly heating up pre-made food. Who knows how long it has been in the fridge. If I wanted heated up manufactured eats I could go to Starbucks. Or better yet, eat a Hot Pocket since their burrito was a similar experience. The coffee was served in glasses. Yep. Dumb. Super hot to the touch because glass is a great conductor of heat. But it quickly cooled and so did the coffee because glass in not a good insulator. If you love hot coffee, you will be in a catch 22. Did I mention that the $10 burritos are the size of a $2 burrito at a gas station... come on!

I love, love, love this place! We visited three times during our vacation as a result :) There are so many amazing drink options and the baked goods (many of which are vegan) are delicious. I had a gluten free, vegan German chocolate donut, which was without exaggeration the best donut I've ever had. 10/10 would recommend.

Not a Starbucks but an actual coffee house where you can comfortably spend some time. Simple menu, tasty pastries, and good coffee... if you're looking for a fast quick drip coffee this may not be a place for you, it's more pour overs and espresso. Most tables are communal, long areas where we can all be alone together. Plenty of power and even some comfy couches to sit and talk, and a few small 1-2 people tables for folks who don't want to be too close to anyone.

This place is a great working spot. The coffee is ok and limited menu and coffee choices but it’s worth it for the working atmosphere and comfy sofas and fast Wi-Fi!

nothing spectacular. you’d expect better service and a cleaner space for a $5 cup of drip coffee. I was the first guest of the day, and felt entirely unwelcome. Also, the space had obviously not been cleaned the night before, table tops were dusty with food scraps and the floor could have used a good sweep. The effort a team puts into caring for a space says mountains about the inherent quality of an establishment; they just don’t care
