I'm not someone who spends a lot on coffee. I don't have an addiction and I don't have a regular spot I go to get my occasional fix. With that said, this joint has been in my rotation over the last few years as a consistently good service, good coffee and pastry stop. I like the location (next to REI) and the chairs outside are on the "Village Walk" where you're facing a pedestrian only shopping area and not looking at a parking lot. That scores points with me.
Come here on a spring morning in 70 degree weather and have a sit with a friend and you'll start your day off right.
