Must-Tries:

Perks:
- fresh food made with quality ingredients
- open seating (patrons can sit anywhere that is free)
- variety of caffeinated drinks
- free WiFi
Downer:
- no reservations
- typical weekend peak time line up (people standing right beside your table as they wait for a seat.. feels like they are just watching you while you eat.. hoping that you hurry up and leave)
- limited seating that is not spacious
- order at the counter (not full service)
- closes early (kitchen closes at 3pm, but coffee bar until 6pm)
Tips:
- get there early before brunch/lunch rush
- better to go with just one other person to snag a table quickly
