| - There aren't many places in Monroeville where I can sit with a cup of coffee, my laptop, and get some work done. This place barely fits the bill.
This premises is OK, but not great. For being so large, there are not many outlets. There is a meeting room (you can reserve) that is quieter than the rest, but they crank the AC so hard, you should bring a sweater even on 95ยบ days.
The pastries all have that "store bought" texture. I see an extensive kitchen in the back, but the pastries must not come from there. I recently had the soup. I was looking forward to a nice bread bowl, but the creamy tomato had the flavor of spaghetti O's. If you really want a nice bread bowl, take the bread home and pour in your favorite can of chunky soup.
The saving grace is their drip coffee selection. They have DARK roast and HAZELNUT, among other flavors, that are replenished regularly. Coffee is bottomless if you stay in.
But hey, any port in a storm I guess.
