Once the home of Caribou Coffee, this University hangout was reborn as Cafeccino. It boasts the stereotypical coffeehouse decor and offers plenty of seating. The menu, however, is limited and the staff seems uneducated in the likes of coffee. Looking for a latte? This place may work for you. Seeking counter culture? They'll give you that tilted head, confused puppy look. Not that I have any room to talk. That's the same look I flaunted when I first learned of counter culture and pour over. Now a lover of both, most other coffee can only be described as lacking.
Cafeccino does offer the pour over method but, for me, the coffee was nearly undrinkable. Perhaps a little pour over training is in order. Either way, this place just wasn't for me. I felt as though they were more concerned about their image than their product. An investment in product knowledge would go a long way.
In addition, they offered a nice patio area but kept the door leading out to it locked. What's the point? I first tried entering through that door as I parked near the back patio. Upon realizing that it was locked, I was forced to pass by the ever so pleasant dumpster while walking around to the front. This business sets facing West Mallard Creek Church Road and any foot traffic would likely try entering through that patio door first. Just FYI, an open door is typically viewed as more inviting. Just sayin'!
