I want to like this place. Really, I do. I have occasion to visit Kannapolis a few times a month when I'm visiting family. Even though the parking lot is a little awkward to get in and out of, the location is perfectly situated on my route as an ideal place to kill time if I get to town early.
Every cup of coffee or baked good that I've ever had here has been good. The decor is a near perfect mix of computer sized table tops and comfy lounging chairs. I wish I could enjoy it!
HOWEVER, without fail when I go in with the idea that I'm going to get some reading done, or work a bit on my computer while I enjoy my coffee, there is always that one obnoxiously loud person who seems to believe with all his or her heart that getting to over hear them is the absolute highlight of everyone else's day. There's the woman who wants to have her phone appointments at full volume, the old guy with an over inflated sense of importance for stories about his adult children, and staff of the local hipster church having a staff meeting. What ever happened to inside voices...?
I think I've finally learned my lesson and will stop teasing myself with the idea that I'm going to be able to have a satisfying experience here.
