About time I wrote a review for this awesome coffeehouse. The irony is I am not much of a coffee drinker, I prefer tea. The baristas here know how to make good tea and from the amount of people that frequent this place for coffee, I am assuming they make good coffee too. They grind their own coffee and when that happens, it can get a little loud but it's for a short time.
So what do I love about this place?
1) The staff is friendly, they make an effort to know your name and remember your orders. The second day I walked in, Drew, one of the baristas greeted me with a smile and remembered my order. It feels good to start your morning with happy faces.
2) The tea is really good because they know how to brew it so it doesn't taste bitter. I also got their hot chocolate once and I happened to stop into Starbucks that evening for a hot chocolate and it tasted disgusting to me. I guess my taste buds were spoiled from the morning hot chocolate .
3) They open early morning (6am) and have plenty outlets and tables for studying. It's usually quiet except in the mornings around 7:30-8:30 and afternoons around 3:00-4:00 when the high school kids are out.
4) Outdoor seating is available and the inside is well lit and gets plenty sunlight. (I don't like to study in dark places, not so great for the eyes)
5) Very affordable
6) FREE refills on the tea!
7) Free wi-fi
The lunch sandwiches are $7.50 and they're okay- nothing to rave about. However, the blueberry Danish is delicious, better than strawberry!
