This is one of favorite coffee places in the area! I have to say that I stick to the Cafe Mocha - it's my favorite after sampling a few drinks off of their menu. It's a cafe mocha made with Mexican chocolate. There's a bit of a spice and it's perfect. For someone who normally likes her drinks sweet, this drink isn't too sweet and yet somehow it's absolutely perfect that way. It's $3.50 for the smaller size and $4.50 for the larger size.
They have a large selection of bakery and food options - from salads to sandwiches to wraps. I've had a few things from their bakery selection and everything has been good thoough sometimes a bit too rich. I've yet to try anything off of their food menu but it's on my list!
The interior is wood paneled and cozy. The place is by no means large but it's also not small. They fit a surprising number of tables inside without making it feel too cluttered. One of the downsides of the size of this plac is that when they steam milk or grind coffee it's incredibly audible and loud because you're close to the bar. If you can ignore that as white noise, you're all set.
The numerous times I've been here I can't say they've ever played music. Either that or it was incredibly low and I didn't pick it up. If that's the case then I'm impressed because I pick everything and have a hard time ignoring that sort of sound. I love doing work here or just sitting back and writing down my thoughts.
I think one of the things I love most about this place, apart from the Cafe Mocha, is that it's what a coffee shop should be. I was here on a Saturday morning at 8 in the morning and there were several local men and women, of varying ages, drinking their coffee under the outdoor umbrellas and talking about their lives. It's a hub for locals to sit back and unwind. Even if you're there by yourself, whether you're inside or outside, you have ample opportunity to people watch.
This is the type of place where you can sit back, take a deep whiff of your coffee and breathe as you watch the world move forward.
