| - I SO want to love this place. Not want-ed. Want. But so far, I don't. There are some great things - the people are super friendly, seem genuinely happy to be there, and the place is very cool. I like the giant chess set, the kids corner, the couches, mismatched furniture, etc. There are a lot of cool spaces to park without feeling like you are in someone else's space or conversation. But some very important things are. . . well, not so hot. The coffee is not good. I ordered two lattes the last time I was in there. The milk was a little more than warm, and just failed in general. The taste. . . blech. I ordered a lemon poppyseed muffin. I should have known when all the front muffins were carefully wrapped in plastic. (Plastic wrap = not enough movement.) The muffin was dried out, overly dense, and maybe had tasted okay before it hit the freezer and then the muffin case - last week. I wasn't too impressed with the smoothie either. I ordered a blueberry banana for the kids to share, and while it may have less calories than your average smoothie, the kids said, "It wasn't bad." My niece said she preferred Jamba Juice, my daughter said she preferred my husband's.
I think if this place is going to make it, they are going to have to WAY step it up on the drinks and food. Or at least take down the sign touting fresh muffins. . . But I am hoping they can pull it together!
