I've had Giant bookmarked for awhile, and I finally came here on a cold, rainy Friday afternoon. I was immediately frustrated just trying to find the place. I don't frequent downtown all that much so I didn't realize that the building was set back from the road. The parking situation was also frustrating. I ended up parking in the tiny lot behind the building.
I found the stadium seating of people on their laptops weird, like I was on display. The barista was like something out of a Portlandia sketch only more exaggerated. I bought a bag of Four Barrel coffee beans, and I felt insulted when he felt the need to warn me that they weren't flavored.
I got the honey vanilla latte based on the Yelp recommendations, and it was fantastic! I'm now a big fan of Strauss milk. It did take awhile coming out. They definitely aren't in a rush at Giant. I won't be rushing back either.
