If this is your first time in the area, this shop will look like a hole in the wall, as are all the other shops along this street. But don't let the exterior fool you! Please do yourself a favor by enjoying a cup of coffee or a plain double shot espresso at the JPH over a good read on a sunny afternoon.
The fact that they serve intelligentsia coffee should already indicate their strive for high standards because god knows that stuff is expensive. My espresso was so smooth, so creamy, so fruity delicious; I could drink this stuff all afternoon if it weren't for the high caffeine level.
The Barista was a little too cool but that may just be me. Next time I'll remember to come dressed in an obscure band t-shit and a scarf. Skinny pants too, if I can ever squeeze into one.
