| - I've been coming here for awhile, and wanted to wait before writing a review, but here it is. (Note: I am a health freak, Gluten free, dairy free, carb restricted, so not much common food lives up to my expectations or needs):
* Ambiance (mellow, chill, nice, lake view) - 5 Stars
* Music (they have live music, and normal music is not too loud and a mix). I'm pretty mellow and like to work or read or talk so it's good. - 5 Stars
* Service - 4.5 Stars most people are pretty good esp. when you know them.
* Tea - - they say they are local and I looked her up she is locally located, but teas are not made locally ever. Some are organic and I don't like plastic casing. They also don't give enough - cups are good for coffee but not much tea e.g 2 oz per say 6 oz of water. There are also temperatures of water for each type of tea (then I'm a tea nut). So many are doing better tea - coffee plantation has yogi teas and will put two in a bigger cup, cartel has tucson organic loose leaf teas. it's really weak, unflavorful (iced green is actually good, it's different tea) and the in-house mugs are too shallow/small to get a good amount. It's also the most expensive in the area $3.15 vs. $2.15 - cartel exception, but they have good product! They started using Mcclendons honey and produce, but I guess it was too expensive for them so now they use a processed honey - 1/2 Star
* Coffee - I hear mixed things - i don't drink it, but it is their main deal - I give it a 4 stars as I've had the decaf with and they have Almond milk.
* Food - If I could or wanted to eat the normal SAD (standard american diet) food I'd give it a 4, but I can't, so I don't . I'd really like to see people change what is being served everywhere e.g., flour products, bacon and eggs, salad... (there really is a whole huge world out there other than those things). Not very flexible with taking out adding items. - - 1/2 Star
