| - Been wanting to check this place out as my hubby and I are always on the hunt for a cool place to just chill and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, but Garmin always leads us to the wrong corner of the intersection. Finally found it, with a little bit more patience. It really wasn't that hard to find, our Garmin was just a bit directionally challenged ;)
THE PLACE: It is quite smaller than I had expected. It was just really a long rectangular area, with the barista station of equipments, kitchen, counter and food display case monopolizing the right side of the space. Directly to the right of the door as you enter, is a nice comfy space for customers to lounge, mingle, and access the network. And that they did. The place was semi-packed at 12:30 pm today. The left wall was lined with different size tables of different heights. And those too were filled with customers enjoying a sip of java or tea. Noise level wasn't really that bad, just people talking. I think there might have been music, but I can't recall now.
THE SERVICE: Was just okay. I played the first timer and asked what offerings they had that were iced that she would recommend. The gal behind the register looking quite bemused by my ignorance simply said "weellll" they really only had 1 iced coffee they offer, and if I was looking for a latte. Saying yes, she suggested vanilla to always be good. So I got a large iced one with soy. She didn't ask for a name to put on the cup (okay, I admit, I'm coffee chain trained, but if the system worked, why not?!) and was a bit worried I will not get my coffee. I did not wait very long though, and barista looks at me and says this is your bevy. Okay, cool. Where may I get a cover? Points me cooly to the condiment station conveniently located by the entrance/exit.
THE COFFEE: Was good. Not something overly exceptional, but good otherwise. Love that they use eco-friendly cups. That's a win.
I'll be honest, 5.2 miles for a cup of joe and the so-so experience, I'll stick to my conveniently located faves. Hey, but now I know.
