My first time was last night - I went with a few friends, one of which raved about this place. No wonder! The decor is eclectic filled with antiques of coffee art, books and some gems from the Victorian era.
I ordered the Americano with a shot of fat-free vanilla syrup. They use Monin here, which if you're up to date on quality syrups, Monin is superior over Torani. So that impressed me. However, I thought their coffee roast was a bit too weak for me. {I prefer a robust coffee roast over anything weak or bitter.} Don't get me wrong; the Americano was delicious.
Also I had the Magic Bar, and my husband had a slice of apple pie. We found out that they bake their own goods here from scratch. Both were delicious.
I'll be coming back, but this time I'll be taking a book and settling myself in one of their comfortable, eclectic corners. Pretty convenient since this place is close to Mesa Library.
By the way, I've read the other reviews and it seems some were complaining about "rude" customer service. I saw no evidence of that. The staff was nice and friendly. What more could I want... well, except for a stronger roast.
