I have many friends who are in love with this coffee spot. That being said, they are the kind of people who order milkshakes masquerading as espresso drinks. I have never been impressed by the coffee here.
Another thing, they are extremely expensive for the quality you are getting! Now, I'm not opposed to spending 4 bucks for a latte at Cartel or spending however much when I'm in LA at Intelligentsia etc. But I asked for a soy latte with sugar free syrup (my dessert for the day, not my typical morning jolt) and it was something like 6.50. INSANE.
As a result, I have tried to bring my own drinks to their outdoor patio when I have met friends there. The "baristas" have repeatedly come outside to tell me to throw my outside drink away. On an outdoor patio. Closer to the lake than to the business itself. Cheap motherfuckers.
