it's too much. i get that they're trying to be a place where a variety of people with different tastes can all get together, but... the variety has gone too far. i don't WANT a place where i can get coffee, breakfast, lunch, snack, beer, wine, study tables and live entertainment. i want a place that does one to a few things WELL instead of doing a bunch of things mediocre.
it IS a great place to meet with people -- much more room to chat than most starbucks or other chains and you can spend a few bucks on a beverage instead of going to a restaurant and feeling like you need to scurry away when you're done eating. But i don't even want to spend the money on the sub-par beverages.
which brings me to the other "too much". the prices are way too high. it's at least as expensive as starbucks (if not more for some things) and i still haven't found anything that i thought was delicious. the safest thing to do is to order an iced tea -- i've never felt like sending it back, but the coffee is too weak and tastes a little.... off. and the small is still 16oz -- too much.
i want to fall in love with this place and i've given it several goes, but i just can't.
