Awesome coffee, indeed. This place seemed way too high brow for me the first time I went. I didn't know each cup was a pour over (should have read the Yelp reviews first), and the barista was not helpful at all. That being said, I've definitely changed my mind about the place. All of my baristas since that first time have been friendly. Some will give you their recommendation without you even having to ask if you're having trouble deciding.
Cool place to study. Not too loud at all. I wouldn't do it every night because a cup of coffee is close to $4, but I feel lucky I live so close to JPH.
