| - Hey-o!
This place can get pretty busy at times... from the young to the elderly, they all seem to flock to this destination perhaps due to some sort of winter migration pattern. The majority of the people who frequent here are trendy younglings looking to study, pretend to study or just talk ...and talk ...and talk. If you listen closely sometimes you'll hear them use hip lingo, like "bumfuzzle", "snickerdoodle" and "poppycock". Although I've noticed that most of these hipsters are glued to their laptops, just typing away as if they were writing in Doogie Howser's personal journal.
The baristas are very friendly and knowledgeable in their craft. I'm guessing they went through some rigorous training course to perfect their skills, like that of a Shaolin monk or a lion tamer.
As for the food, I haven't had a chance to try any of their pastries but they look pretty freaking delicious. I had the opportunity to watch an elderly person sit next to me and eat a sandwich like a cow chewing on grass... just chewing away in a hypnotic motion with food hanging out of her mouth and crumbs falling onto my papers. I wanted to turn away but I'm telling you it was pretty mesmerizing. Anyways, she seemed to enjoy the food very much... perhaps I'll try a sandwich sometime, maybe even chew it like a cow eating grass for other people's amusement. Pay it forward ;-)
The coffee is why I mainly come here; it's very appealing to the senses. You should remember not to throw away your cup if you plan on having another, refills are only 60 cents. I didn't know that but they were kind enough to give me a new cup. I also recommend the mint melange tea.
Anyways, in conclusion... check out this place. They also sell beer and wine, I can't really figure that out. I guess they want you to get wasted and then come back and sober up with some coffee... pretty clever Tree City. Maybe one day I'll give that cycle a try; in the meantime I think I'll just stick with the coffee.
Cheers!
