It definitely is as quiet as people say, but there were enough people coming in and out that my group was able to have a conversation without seeming to interrupt the people who were there working. I had a chai latte made with almond milk, and it was so so so good I almost went and got another after I finished the first one. Another nice thing is the big windows at the front of the store, letting a lot of natural light in. They also have vegan cookies from Eden, always a plus.
