Ambiance
A little on the small side, right away I felt at home as the brick walls and vibe about it is very relaxing and old school! The architecture feels very 1800's/early 1900s and it's right beside an arts gallery so perhaps that's why it feels cool to be around ;) The baristas are very friendly and laidback which has a large impact on the overall feel of the place :)!
In terms of the clientele, it seems like a very laidback crowd (no pretentiousness like @ Wibke's) and with no sketches around and great conversation flying around (Haha I am a people watcher after all) makes this an awesome place to grab a girl/guy for a date :) But of course, some of us are too busy for that but this place is a good place to grab your notes and do so work as well (free wifi is key too).

The Good Stuff
Right away:
Obviously I need to go euro and grab some light dessert but I'm a sucker for effort and latte art! The drink *is* ridiculously awesome...what more is there to say? The desserts were pretty bland/average but the Ham/Swiss sandwich that I ate was well made...small..but tasty. One last thing..cucumber water...interesting ;)!

Only because I didn't drink espresso to truely taste wether it was well made or not ;)

Because of the euro wafer sticks ;) Truly euro. Standard panini sandwhich, on the small side..
