| - I am so psyched that this little coffee/tea shop has come to my neighborhood. Mike, the owne, has done it right.
First, the decor. After taking in the umbrella picnic tables, flying fish kites, welcoming front porch (with a handicap ramp----VERY cool) you are drawn into the front done. The inside decor is best described as Buddha eclectic. Off to the right you can't help but notice a big ars fish tank, an even bigger ars flat screen TV. above it, coffee sack upholstered chairs, books, newspapers, boardgames all wrapped in warmly painted walls. Upstairs, past the in-house ATM machine, the charm continues into each of the 4 meeting/gaming/gabbing/meditating rooms.
Home-y restrooms are located on both floors.
Back downstairs we go. With so much comfort being served up, you may forget why you are there. But don't because it is at the counter that you will find one of the moat unique cups a 'jo anywhere. Since I am not a true coffee connoisseur, I stick to the teas. And believe you me, the teas are well worth the visit. My current love is the white tea. Smooth and flavorful over ice. How can something this good be soo ooo good for you? So far, I have successfully avoided the dessert case. Not sure how much linger I will be able to resist the cakes, copies, pastries. that are knocking on the glass and calling my name.
Overall, I LOVE this joint. It's the Cheers of the coffee bean hang outs. Stop in soon, grab a cup a'your fancy, add a pastry or bag of Route 11 chips to go with the soup of the day and relax.
