I was really hoping that this would be the coffee place for my life. It's a great location with lots of indoor and outdoor seating and it looks great. The coffee is okay, but a bit weak for my tastes. Muffins look fantastic, but after a few bites you realize that they are not nearly as good as they look. They are kinda dry. Espresso is pretty good, but not top notch and it takes longer than most other places. Tap cards are not accepted - which I probably wouldn't notice this if this place was in some hipster neighbourhood. But tap payment is de rigeur here in the core and I've stopped carrying cash and plastic cards on hand during my work day. People are nice here.
