Great place! Gourmet coffee without the pretentiousness, great cafe food, and great place to work on your laptop.
I come here some mornings when I need to get out and still get some work done. I don't mind the 25-minute drive! It's one of the few local coffee shops left in the city, and pretty much the only one with real food any time of day.
If you're sick of stale cheese danish and rock-hard "scones", this is your joint. Today I got a very good-size scrambled egg, bacon and rosemary breakfast bake in phyllo dough, a cookie and a large coffee (eat-in, so with tax) for $6.85.
Wi-fi is great, plenty of places to sit (long window counter if all of the tables are full) and typically good indie music. Lots of solos here, but I've seen a lot of groups of 4-6 hang/meet too (I think there's a conference table in the back, too.) Staff is always super friendly and helpful (not judgy or snobby like some other places) and I never feel out of place here.
