Headline: Service killed the experience.
I'm a coffee person. I love coffee. I love independent coffee houses. So how does a coffee place get just 1 star? One word - service.
We turned into the parking lot about ten minutes before the store closed. I guess that could explain the surly nature of the barrista? The milk had that slight taste of soy in it - causing me to wonder "hmmm - I didn't order a soy version of the latte. What gives?" I suspect that he didn't rinse out the jug. The styrofoam cups were a definite turn-off. The tables and chairs had all been pushed to the side. This guy was just making sure he could lock up and leave right at closing time, rather than ensuring the coffee shop had - ya know - BUZZ.
Seriously - if you want a coffee, go to Starbucks, or even Dunkin Donuts (just round the corner from this place) - this place is a definite pass.
