  Every time I have been here I’ve had nothing but exceptional experiences. Treat your servers well and they will treat you well. Food and drinks are fantastic and the ambiance is super chill. Music is always great with a ton of variety. The furniture and building are very authentically vintage with a very bohemian type of decor. It’s definitely one of the most unique places I’ve dined at. Whenever I’ve visited here I’ve seen each of the guys behind the counter work extremely hard to tend to all of their customers. For God’s sakes, tip your servers. Tipping helps pay the rent for many people, so even if you’re buying just a coffee it can really make a difference. Not everyone has a comfy hourly rate to fall back on: especially servers and bartenders. Don’t be stingy and support local business. All in all, fantastic place to chill and have a nice meal at. There is tons of personality and authenticity here to boot. Recently I have started to regular this place just to unwind after a long day of work, and I will definitely continue to do so. Highly recommend.

  Leaving this review purely to tell the people who don’t tip that they should tip. Been here before and never had any issues. Always tip because I was raised right, and I worked in the service industry. Tips are earned, sure, good ones. But even a dollar is just common sense and kindness to your fellow human who barely make any kind of money outside of tips, who made your drink. Have a nice day y’all!

  Drinks are fine, but why you think that fostering a hostile relationship with your customers is a good business move is beyond me. The bartender has been nothing but pushy and rude when I’ve been, shaming my friend for not tipping on a can of beer. I’ve always tipped every time I’ve been, brought friends with me, and done a good job at patronizing this place but I’m done. Until you learn how to treat your customers like human beings, I’ll never return to this place.

  Terrific service, drink menu, and ambience. Great place to meet up with friends, play a game of Scrabble, or study. I have loved this place for forty years.

  This place used to be awesome when the owner was working there. He would work alone but always made your drink with a smile, had great conversation and made you feel welcomed there. They have a new guy making the drinks and serving food and he ALWAYS comes off overwhelmed and acts bothered if you order more than one drink. And please don’t order food or he gets snippy. He is obviously overwhelmed and his frustration is deflected onto his patrons. I get that it’s a busy place and there is only one staff member there but being treated as if you’re bothering someone and getting served drinks that definitely don’t live up to what they used to be, totally kills the cool vibe this place used to have. I don’t think I’ll be coming here anymore. If the owner is ever back that may change.
