  I know that many people love this place. I'll do my best to justify why I just can't give them 5 or even 4 stars. First, even with current inflation in the US, their prices are a little high. Yes, the quality of their sandwiches, pastry and drinks is above average...just not much higher than that in my opinion. Next, even though I do understand the origin of their policy of having a combination lock on the one restroom, it doesn't work for me. Most of the employees are nice...a few much more than nice. Unfortunately, over the years, now and then I run into those who not only obviously don't like their job...they have actually been surly with me. My friends that I normally meet there like the drinks and pastries. I actually met them there with my now deceased wife almost 2 decades ago. So, I'm not at all new to the establishment. Some of the details of things pre-pandemic are a bit hazy to me...but I do remember learning about the owner(s) and not feeling nor hearing favorable things about her/them from the original employees. Further, more often than not, the place is not very clean. Yes, they have long hours and a clientele that hangs out...perhaps making it difficult...but seldom do I see anyone making the floors, counters, chairs, restroom (singular) even what one would call an average clean. Perhaps a 3 1/2 would be more fair than a 3...but it doesn't seem possible. Again, most people are happy with it and there are some nice things like an outdoor waterfall, water fountain and water path around the property. Outdoor seating, umbrellas, covered seating... 2 (count them) TWO parking spaces, one of which is a handicap space. Your mileage may vary but personally I NEVER seek the place out...I will join others there though.

  Well this place is more of like a cafe and study/work. On a October monday night it was crowded however you will still find enough place to grab a chair and sip a late night coffee. For vibe and ambiance 5 star however I ordered a pumpkin pie latte - the flavor of the season and it was below average compared to other cafe's around. I could taste the pumpkin not blended with the rest of the drink. However based on the number of people in there, I am sure they have other drinks which are a hit on their menu. Will try next time.

  The coffee was good, the atmosphere was pleasant, the food looked borderline gourmet. I definitely plan on going back. I recommend this place for sure if you want to sit and enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend.

  I do smoothies well myself and am by extension, slightly picky, but I can't seem to manage a peach smoothie. This place nailed it and is in my top 3 smoothies of all time. Chicken Rustica was as good as you would expect from the ingredients. Fudge cake okay, pretty. Basically my thought is they excell at the less average, so if it sounds a bit more unique, like the first two, get it. I will be back.

  Came here to work the cafe is nice limited parking great sandwiches and coffee theirs one bathroom that you need to ask for a code to use. Multiple outlets available to charge devices. One wall outlet in the corner is broken and doesn’t hold anything plugs just fall out. The staff is great overall great atmosphere and music.
