| - I drove by this coffee place for weeks, and I finally decided to go there one night to finish up some work on my lap top accompanied by a cup of coffee. I have mixed feelings about this place. Yes, it's not a huge chain like Starbucks, and the staff are super friendly... but I felt kind of out of place. I walked in in jeans and a t-shirt, my hair just in a pony tail, and as I looked around at the other patrons and the staff, I felt immediately as if I should have done my hair and put on a trendy shirt. This is a great place for younger folks and the college crowd, as that is the majority of the customers demographic. It seems like they would have been more welcoming, but I guess the atmosphere is different here. (For example, places like this in Minneapolis, where I'm from, are welcoming of everyone). The coffee, however, is fantastic, and I would take it over Starbucks any day.
I was disappointed to find that the internet requires a passcode (that you can acquire from the barista) and has a two hour limit. Bummer! At the time I visited this cafe, I didn't have internet at home, and had to to the vast majority of my work at coffee shops with internet access. I would stay in coffee shops upwards of 6 hours sometimes. Going to get a new access code is tedious and unwelcoming.
The patio is super awesome, and a cool place to hang out with a group of friends. It has a nice vibe and the lighting is nice, but it almost seemed a little too narrow minded for me.
