I love Drip. My partner and I stop by at least once every couple of weeks. The owner, Gina, and staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming. Every time I've been in they've all remembered our names and gone out of their way to see how we are doing.
They are all about their organic, minimalist, authentic life at Drip. Coffee is only in drip form (i.e. espresso). Food is all local and organic. And the design is modern, simple, and attractive.
They are dog friendly and even when they are packed they make the outdoor/indoor seating work.
If you haven't been you should. It's definitely a place that you can go with friends, have a good lunch. Or you can take your laptop, zone out, and watch the scenery. It's just not trying to be anything that it's not (unlike sooo many coffee houses I come across). That's the best part about it. Drip is drip. And Drip is good.
