This is a sit-down and take-it-all in place, not unlike coffee shops to be found in places like San Francisco. if you're in a big rush and want things the way you're used to and don't like adventures, please go to Starbucks - there's one right down the street.
Cartel makes each cup one at a time, so you get something truly unique. There are always many different flavors being brought in and switched out, so ask questions and make sure you get something in line with your tastes - unless you like surprises!
