bright modern and cheery place. lots of modern seating on the main floor and a decent amount upstairs as well. a couple of nooks if you don't feel like gawking at the street or the patrons inside the place. several shelves of retail stuff like soaps and lotions and conversation piece housewares. thought it was a little odd, but for some reason it also works. modern piped in music that was not overly loud.
took a a few seconds to get the staff to warm up, but once they did they were friendly and accommodating. choice of 4 different beans for the pour-over. Forte Legato is their roaster. went with the Sulawesi Toraja. it was decent.
pastry selection was a little scant and overpriced. they had a couple varieties of cronuts. none of which looked good enough to pay $6 for. went with a chocolate chip muffin. a staff member told me that the Marriott (which they are attached to) provides them. it was as good as expected. at least it was priced decently at $3.
like i said, the place is attached to the Marriott so you have to go into that portion of the building to use the gender specific bathrooms. they were fancy and clean and most were booth style where there was a nice door on them that went from ceiling to floor. love that! very cool modern music piped into it too!
good place to come back to!
