I've been coming here for over ten years and it just gets better with time. About 5 years ago there were a few female baristas that were so unpleasant that I stopped coming for quite a while. Since they've left, all the staff has been super friendly and it's been a pleasure to patronize this shop again.
Prices are better than most, sizes are generous and the vibe is very good with lots of students, business men and women and other laid back folks, very unlike their corporate competitors indeed!
