| - This full-bar cafe came highly recommended, I found it better than expected. Was then surprised to see less than 4 starts. Mostly because this isn't your average coffee shop. After talking to the server, I discovered it was born out of the owner's love of european bistros. That explains quite a bit. I love the Alice's Restaurant ("You can get anything you want") aspect and dig the relaxed atmosphere. For example, the choices include: espresso bar coffee, gelato and pastries in the front; or cruise on back to the wine, beer and a full-service menu section. If you like the efficiency of Strarbucks or fast food establishments you won't like this place. But That's exactly why I like it. You'll also find it more upscale than most coffee shops. Table service is the norm, and you can choose from cushioned bar-height table seating, cushioned regular table seating or white leather booths. Or pull up a stool at the bar in the back (alcohol bar, not coffee bar) and order from a selection of excellent craft beers, or independent wines while you watch the game on the flat-panel t.v.s... I'm sure I forgot something, but these independent gems need to survive if we're to have true food & drink experience options. I gave it 4 stars due to the full-menu options, overall quality, ambience and friendly staff.
