| - I've been going here frequently this semester because I need espresso to survive (last semester of grad school = large amounts of espresso, all the time). The drinks are almost always tasty and the food is pretty good. Their sandwiches are freshly made every morning, with day-old sandwiches marked 40% off. I like the chicken salad sandwich, which has cranberries in it. Nom. Baked goods are ok but a bit overpriced. Good Americanos and their cappuccino royale is also a good choice (cappuccino with an extra shot). They also have cold-brewed iced coffee (iced Toddy), which is really tasty. It's written on some chalkboard SOMEWHERE around the counter, not on the main menu. Aside from the iced Toddy I've never gotten regular coffee here, so can't comment on that.
I think their prices are reasonable--on par with other cafes in the area. They have good daily specials--I almost always get what ever the special is (there's one for each day of the week, same specials every week).
The staff at this location are friendly and efficient, although they frequently make errors when ringing up orders (sometimes to your benefit...sometimes not), so pay attention that you're not being overcharged by accident.
I generally avoid the bathroom here because it's awkward and I can never tell if there's someone actually in there or not. Some of the comfy armchairs downstairs are kind of grimy and gross, but they are indeed cozy. I like that there are a lot of small tables, and I don't think I've ever not been able to find a seat, despite the waves of students that pass through here every hour between classes.
Overall, good stuff. I'm not sure why it took me so long to frequent this place.
