I've enjoyed coming here after having sushi down the street, for example, and getting an Americano. I'll watch outside the windows, enjoy the wooden floor, uncovered walls and high ceilings, and browse the papers. I also appreciate frequenting a local business rather than an overpriced Starbucks, which greets you with the "loud, sucking sound" of the community's cash being siphoned to Seattle.
After reading some of the other reviews, I would have to agree that the layout could be redone to give more space to customers, reducing the retail footprint. The LCD display is an aberration and should be chucked out. Flies are occasionally a nuisance.
As Wi-Fi becomes omnipresent, a niche such as this without any cyber-age accoutrements will increasingly appeal to the plugged-in seeking a welcome break.
