| - Was here last week, and I feel like I get this place...
Service is courteous, but not outgoing. It's not you, it's them--a very mellow vibe, like they're your college buddies and you asked them to grab you a brew from the fridge and make you a little ramen.
The coffee is excellent. People who complain about paying too much or not getting your damn skim milk should go to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks. I mean, really...try to understand the business you're reviewing; not all places are all things to all people. Just because your expectations of what a coffee place should be aren't met doesn't make the place bad or overpriced or pretentious. It makes it what it is trying to be, and if it's not that, then you can criticize.
The ambience is definitely not warm, but I appreciate it. A spare room with some even sparer outside seating. Music playing, but very quietly in the background (a very nice change from so many places!) These guys do what they do and they do it well. Don't expect breakfast sandwiches, gluten free muffins, and soy caramel venti lattes! Just expect very smooth handmade coffee and a quiet place to sit and meditate on the beauty of well crafted caffeine.
