| - I really liked this place. It was recommended to me by some friends, and when I walked up at 6:30pm on a Monday night, by the number of people sitting outside I thought no way would I get a seat to study. Low and behold, as I open the door, great music floods my ears, fabulous decorations, and air conditioning. And open tables. I order a house coffee to start off with, and after I taste it I am horrified at what I've been drinking out of my Mr. Coffee in the mornings.
I grab a table next to a wall, and next to the place where the cook the food. And right over the air conditioning vent. I really don't study well when I'm hot, so the air conditioning was a huge plus. The food smelled great, the lighting was perfect, it wasn't too loud with people talking, but the soft background noise helped me to focus and study.
I tried the pesto turkey panini which was fabulous. And they wear gloves when they make your sandwhiches. And cute garnishes. And the coffee was reasonably price (I always think paying over $5 for a sandwhich is a little too much, but you're paying for wifi and atmosphere as well... and supporting a local busines... so... I suppose it's worth it).
Overall I plan to spend many a weeknight there studying and drinking coffee (although I may have to switch to decaf because I was up way too late after that!)

Okay, not all tables and chairs are created equal. I ended up sitting at a very uncomfortable table. Now if I was just there hanging out with friends and playing a game or something, I probably wouldn't have cared. But I was trying to read and study, and sometimes I fidget or sit cross-legged on the chair, but the table had these panels on it that made it too short to do either.
And the tables that look out the glass front window are great to people watch, but once it gets dark the lighting is pretty low. To visit and chat- no problem. But studying- towards the back would be better.
Luckily someone left and I grabbed a different table. But still, great coffee, music, and good place to go. I still definitely recommend.

I was here the other night, and maybe it was a fluke last time, but there was plenty of lighting by the tables in the front, by the windows... Just FYI. And I still love their turkey panini!!

I prefer their house coffee to their "Coffee of the Day". I still haven't found a "Coffee of the Day" that I prefer to their house coffee.
