This place deserves the hype. It is a great atmosphere whether you go in the early morning for coffee (or my personal favorite hibiscus Arnold Palmer) before work or late at night for an amazing drink (try the rum-in-the blood, which was recommended to me by one of the bartenders.) I have never known the staff to be anything but helpful and friendly, despite some comments to the contrary in other reviews. It's practically my second home because it fits whatever mood I'm in, whether I want to have a relaxed night out with friends or hole up with a book and a drink. It's rare to find somewhere I feel this content.
