I stop in here a few times a week for coffee to go. First of all, it's DELICIOUS and second if you bring in your own travel mug it's only $1!
The location and atmosphere are both very cool and the staff is friendly in their own way. Never rude but not overly warm and friendly either. Some mornings I'll come in to do some work and they leave me alone, which is fine by me.
At first I felt guilty for only paying $1 for my coffee, so I'd leave another dollar in the tip jar ($2 for an excellent cup of coffee seemed fair). But I've never heard a "thank you" for the tip. Not once. So I stopped tipping and learned to live with a truly great cup of coffee for which I only paid a buck.
I've had a few of their other coffee drinks which are expertly made and the pastries and cookies are insanely good.
So GREAT coffee and treats, VERY well priced, free wi-fi and they don't seem to care about tips. 5 stars!
