I dropped by yesterday to have a snack and to read for a couple of hours.
The decor is pretty clean and simple. One might perhaps describe it as homey. The tables are nice and large. There is a collection of magazines to peruse while sipping your drink. The barrista was pleasant and fairly efficient.
First I ordered a London Fog and an egg salad sandwich (grilled). I am not sure why London Fog was the most expensive drink on the menu -- it's made with a tea bag, for Chrissake -- but it tasted fine. The sandwich seemed very simple -- just egg salad and a couple of standard toppings -- but the egg for the egg salad was cooked just perfectly, and it was surprisingly delicious paired with the slice of brie.
For my second round I got a cappucino and a blueberry poppy-seed muffin. The cappucino was well done and the muffin was fresh and very tasty. Don't let the simplicity of decor and menu fool you -- the food and drinks here are crafted with care, by someone who knows his stuff. And oh, they are licensed and have Mill Street beer on tap!
So, why only three stars? The HOURS! 5 p.m. closing time -- and closed on Sundays? Bye-bye, see you at linuxcaffe!
