I live dangerously close to this delicious establishment. It's just a quick jaywalk from the Coronado thus I find myself caffeinating here several times a week. Their prices are fair, their espresso is strong, and their speciality drinks are crave worthy. Try the Panda! The staff is extremely cheerful and engaging even when its super busy. No hipster stink eye here! No waiting half a century to be acknowledged stemming a vicious existential crisis about social hierarchy proceeded by high school flashbacks and thoughts like, "omg did I wear the wrong outfit to get coffee!" and/or "do I look too 'desperate' to be served a latte?" (Lux, I'm looking at you...) Haven't tried the food yet because I sustain myself on coffee alone. Smooth Brew is my bro!
