| - This café is probably the most eclectic café I've ever encountered - and I sample cafes everywhere I go, around the country and abroad.
I think the vibe is very tough to describe, but I will tell you that I loved it! We stopped by around 8-9 pm on a Saturday night and there were people of all ages from children to retirees. It was also fascinating to see people of all ages working side by side on their laptops on long tables. I guess Im used to seeing college/grad students to young professionals who choose coffee spots as work places, but it was fascinating to see how well all the age groups blended here!
The seating is super fun aside from the long tables - there are couches spread throughout the café and people were just meeting up and having an awesome time. It's basically divided into a main hall and then there are a few smaller rooms with couches and tables, on of which you can actually reserve. In one room, old TV shows and sports were playing off a projector on to the wall.
The unique thing here is you can order a full meal (breakfast/lunch/dinner), get dessert or baked goods, coffee/lattes or a drink from their bar. The kitchen is open, and in fact, barely separated from the seating area so you see people working away on your food and drinks.
I got a velvet latte which was a white chocolate latte - done very, very well with a strong hint of coffee in it and the taste of white chocolate was subtle but recognizable. From desserts, I got a Nutella thumbprint cookie which was super tasty, especially with the coffee flavored whip cream that went with my friend's flourless dark chocolate cake (which was also excellent!)
The wall art is super random and fascinating! You would have to see for yourself to know what I mean, and it does make you think.
The place is VERY hipster, and people come here totally casual, and it sounds cheesy, but it is definitely a spot where you are welcome just as you are!
