| - The spacious and thoughtfully decorated interior, easy parking, and central-ish location makes Cargo Coffee East a no-brainer spot for productive weekend working sessions.
The chai chiller was tasty and icey, if a tad pricey. The time I ordered an iced mocha it was really clumpy, but strangely this made it more delicious. Undissolved mocha powder came up like little pockets of sweet surprises in every sip. For a more standard go-to, I'd opt for one of their hot and crema-y Americanos, and I'd probably skip the pastry case.
I really like the eclectic mix of furniture, which gives you options in case you want to bench it or lounge it. While the metal adds a nice industrial touch, watch out for the vampire chairs that will suck the heat from your body -- unless you're into that sort of thing.
Service may be a little confusing if you're used to optimized, cookie cutter delivery, or if you're the type of person who feels anxious in new spaces. A surly looking bearded man may politely walk your drink out to you, or you might have someone shout your drink from the counter when it's like zero people busy, or you might ask for water and they pour you a glass even though there's self-serve water by the bussing station. Oops...but thanks!
