| - My husband and I were on a search for a place to bring out laptops while the grandparents watched the kiddos for a bit. I know, it's not the most thrilling use of a kid-free Saturday afternoon, but at least we ordered a coffee - caffeine after 2pm is a little edgy?
Ok, so maybe not, but at least we ventured some place new rather than Starbucks. And apparently ordering caffeine after 2pm is normal behavior for young folk these days because nearly every table and chair were taken. There is not a ton of seating because the place is very compact, but you can also perceive it to be cute, charming, quaint and comfortable. There is a small living setup with an old bookcase, books and board games hidden around the corner. This is where we able to find a table. There are also tables outside for the overflow.
The menu was good - coffee and flavorings with an impressive bakery display that I pretended did not exist because I am not Day 6 of a sugar-reduced diet.
There was a friendly girl working the counter, a clean bathroom, and free wifi. Everything was looking like a five star review until the coffee was a little more than half way gone...the caffeine put me in "work" mode, my head was down, I was working ferociously....and then the wifi dropped.
I immediately blamed my stupid computer but then I looked up to see that everyone's computer displayed the same "cannot load webpage" message. The internet stayed down so I left, and my table was immediately overtaken by young hipsters.
I enjoy the offbeat path so I would go back to this place, just probably not during the peak hours so that I could ensure a place to sit.
