Supporting my local barista in this underground coffee house in historic downtown Gastonia. The setting is perfect from the original tile floors while surrounded bt the brick and wood beams original to the building. I can spend hours here reading, talking to the locals, or cruising online with their free wi-fi in this secluded hide-away. My favorite isn't all the flavor creations of coffee/lattes they can make. It's the cafe con leche made with real Cafe Bustelo. Friends don't let friends drink Starbucks.
