I was in the area waiting for an appointment, so I decided to try this place out.
The design and interior arrangement is nice and comfy.
Now, I DO care for the espresso quality and haven't had a cup of starbucks for ages (I do have two of their cups tho), so after seeing caribou's espresso machines, I decided I am not going to torture my taste buds. I ended up having a cup of thai black tea latte, and a brown sugar oatmeal, plus a cranberry orange scone to go.
The staffs are ok, not anything more than taking your orders and making them.
They do have many varieties on coffee/tea drinks and breakfast pastries and stuff, but the quality, uh, well...
I like how they have various tea latte and you can vary the kind of milk and the degree of sweetness of them, but if you do know well what a cup chai, thai, or oolong tea should taste like, you probably will be disappointed.
All in all, if you just want a place to sit and study for a couple hours and not really picky about the tastes, it's a nice place to be at.
