I love the atmosphere in here. It's quiet and the music is nice. It looks like they are changing out some artwork, but it's still pretty. Like someone said, it isn't very unique. But I gave up on finding unique coffee places when I left the northwest.
I spent several hours here one morning so I will make this critique now that I know it was not just me: The service is REALLY slow. I don't know what the girls behind the counter were doing. I came when there was a line of about 5 people. I've watched people come in alone and wait 5-10 minutes for a drink. I actually saw someone get their money back.
The reason I still give this place 4 stars is because if I'm coming here to work, I don't mind if it takes ahwile to get my coffee. If I were on my way to work I'd be super irritated.
Something they should consider, with Starbucks walking distance away: the amount of time it takes them to make an order really matters Mon-Friday at 7:30 in the morning. I would never make this my daily coffee stop because of that.
