I'll admit it: drinking my latte in this indie coffee shop makes me feel just a little bit cooler. Like I'm part of this young, hip, urban downtown crowd that shuns the big coffee chains and buys fair-trade everything (I'm not).
My coffee is always spectacular and finished off with pretty latte art, but for a place that has communal tables meant to inspire conversation and community - I don't see much of that. I hate to say it, but I've seen more people interaction at Starbucks.
