The coffee is generally pretty good, but like most coffee shops, only as good as the person making it. I have found that when the owner makes the coffee my fancy espresso drinks are better than average, but the other staff (over probably the last year) produce unpredictable results. The sandwiches have been quite mediocre. The new push has been on crepes. I have not been impressed with those I have had...again, middle of the road. I am astounded at how OCD they are about what toppings you can have on them. They do not like to deviate from the standard. This is not a large commercial kitchen, so when I pay decent money for something I would like the option of leaving off a toping I dislike.
As for the "art" on the wall...uggghh
Coffee shops should not try to be cultural centres...starving artists are usually found in coffee shops not art galleries!
