Definitely 3 1/2 stars!. The barista was bubbly and efficient, making multiple beverages at once. I didn't even notice her preparing my mocha while she was creating two other espresso drinks. Each order required quite a different sequence of events, yet she made all of them almost simultaneously. Quite a skill.
I purposely asked for a decaf mocha to compare it to my last experience, which was not a happy one. This time around the mocha was definitely more enjoyable but I think next time I'll try a latte or an Americano. Oddly I think the strength of the coffee was hindered by the cocoa.
