| - This is a really, really great coffee shop.
The open-air concept for the cafe is wonderful and gives a good sense of flow. The wood floors are a terrific touch and serve to give the space a minimalist and organic feel.
I ordered an espresso and a mocha, both of which were excellent. The menu is simple and direct, which I appreciate over particularly convoluted or extended drink offerings at some other cafes. There is a good selection of pastries and other small things to nibble on. The separation of the cashier station and the drink pickup area, combined with all the space, means that you never feel pressed in while waiting to either pay or get your drink.
One of the nicer things about the open space is that this is a terrific place to have a conversation. Even when filled more or less to capacity it's easy to hold a conversation without needing to speak up over the general noise of the cafe or music that is lightly playing in the back.
The only downside is that this place *does* fill up, and you can be waiting a while for a seat or table, especially if you're coming as part of a group. It's a great place to go, drink, socialize, or work but its very popularity is, in some respects, the sole problem associated with the cafe.
Ultimately, I highly recommend checking out Quantum Coffee. It's well worth visit.
