Whether hosting me for a work meeting or an awkward first date, Ground Zero has been A-OK.
+ tasty drinks - I've had the hot chocolate and the peach iced tea
+ nice staff (though sometimes a little spacey - the last barista seemed confused when I asked if there was caffeine in their mint tea [there is])
+ puffy chairs in the back corner are really comfortable and great for reading
- seating is really close together and the high-tops by the window are crazy high
- parking tends to be an issue if you're staying for the long haul
- early hours - I went late one afternoon and was surprised to be shuttled out soon after because they were closing; my fault for not checking hours, but surprising for not being in an office-heavy area that otherwise shuts down at 5
Ground Zero isn't my favorite coffee shop in town, but I also wouldn't decline going.
