It's like pretentiousness meets dive bar, with a side of ehh, it's neat I guess. I guess I'm always bewildered at the grime of it all, but no one seems to mind. I usually avoid it because I don't want to have to worry about not finding a seat. I wouldn't go just for the coffee. It's tasty, it's well priced. But at the end of the day it's not THAT great.
