Very little difference since changing hands: new staff I think, and a couple added menu items, but basically the same as when it was Phoenix Coffee: the same Phoenix-brand coffee, served in the same atmosphere for the same prices. Even the same kinds of live music and poetry events (although I tend to prefer quiet myself).
I can easily find a seat with power and Internet to get some work done, and I like their drinks. So, no complaints here! (I did notice, since someone else mentioned it, that my mocha was poured out of a milk jug from the cupboard. In my ignorance, I can't say whether pre-mixing such drinks is normal, or a bad sign. I don't usually get straight coffee--hopefully that is made fresh.)
I wish they were open later, but I see this fall they plan to return to 9pm weekday closing, which will be welcome, and 10pm on live event nights (check their site).
One issue I must touch on: it's nice and quiet (other than live event nights) for working or visiting... HOWEVER, the silence is shredded by an obnoxiously short music loop (one CD maybe?) which is mostly generic pop music from recent years. Some of it is raucous repetitive barking, the likes of which only a 9th grader could love. I'M LISTENING TO IT RIGHT NOW, and more than anything I want hard alcohol. And I don't even drink. That's now obnoxious the music is. If only the same songs didn't keep repeating! Kill me. Take a sofa cushion and put me out of my misery.
I shouldn't share my Top Secret Parking Tip, but I will: the front lot fills up fast, but there's a small rear lot. You can't get to it via Mayfield, but you can get to it from either side street, Green or Victory (same way you'd enter for the drive-through).
