I've been here a few times and plan to return. The staff has always been friendly, and the coffee drinks and grilled cheese excellent. They also have wifi.
There are a couple things they need to improve:
* They don't clean tables after a customer leaves. The tables are always full of crumbs or sticky.
* They don't do a good job of cleaning the stuff on the side table, like the water container.
* They take a long time to make a drink. I appreciate the fresh grinding, but unless no one else in line, getting a drink becomes a time commitment.
I recommend Volstead to my vegan and vegetarian friends, since they'll like the food options. For other friends, I'd suggest going somewhere where they can find a clean table.
