I feel terrible for writing it a 3-star, but honestly I do not find their espresso or chai teas very good at all. Now, take a look at all the other reviews and people rave about it - so take it as you will, but I will not be returning here for the coffee/espresso. It's a serious bummout for me, because I like most everything else about this place.
However, they have a GREAT selection of loose-leaf teas that smell like heaven. And it's an awesome place to work from - tons of windows with plenty of sunshine and a great patio. You just have to ask for the wi-fi code.
The employees seem genuine and cordial, and I dig the fact that they have open mic nights and live music acts. I dig it as a cool joint to hang out at.
It's a decent location with parking that has never been full for me.
My favorite thing? They sell gluten-free goodies like biscotti and english muffins. Who knows if they rotate their GF selection, but I really appreciate any place that caters to my kind. AND it seems like they have a pretty big menu for a coffee house (like REAL food too).
Summary: coffee? Not my thing here. Tea? Yes, please. Working? Pretty decent. Gluten-free selection? They are trying and that's all that counts.
