2.5 Stars
Upon entrance of this place I found it to be pretty comfortable. The decor is pretty nice and unique. As I walked further into the cafe, after I ordered, I spotted a little play area for kids. This is quite an interesting thing I have never seen before.
I ordered the Latte and was not overwhelmed. In fact, it underachieved in my opinion. It was ridiculously hot first of all (I am pretty sure it's not supposed to be nearly boiled!) and secondly there was not much punch to the coffee itself. This could be as a result of the Roaster they buy from (Alternative Grounds), but it could also be the barista.
The food selection is quite disappointing as well. Everyone who walked in asked for a food menu (although I don't think a menu is necessary) and were told there was muffins and bagels...that's it. Also the baked goods were frozen and not fresh, which is not great.
The reason this place gets a 2.5 star instead of just 2 is for the creativity of thinking about children by creating a place for them to play at.
My impression is they are having a hard time with business, but I will give them credit for trying something different.
I don't think I will be back here, but it has serious potential.
That's it.
