Used to love this place. But the coffee has declined, is near awful now. (...I don't understand the recent reviews saying the coffee is good -- it really isn't...) Also, it used to be seedy in a delightful way, but is now just a drab sports-bar-type place. The only remaining charm comes from its function as a neighborhood social hub.
Tip:
-they are relaxed enough that you can bring bagels in, and eat with your coffee. You'll make a mess, but just clean up afterwards.
-if you *want* to watch the game with a coffee, this might be your place.
