Upon entering I wasn't clear as to if I was in a coffee house or a trendy gift shop with art for sale everywhere you looked. I also did not experience the aroma of freshly brewed coffee as I walked in but I was greeted by a very friendly person behind their counter that offered to make me a cup of joe.\n\nTheir coffee was congenial and pleasant. They had a limited amount of the normal coffee house accompaniments ~ a few pastries and cookies~ to coffee. They seemed to be more of a caf\u00E9 or dinner based on what they are offering their customers. Pizza at a coffee house? Now that's different... \n\nThey have a huge selection of pizzas, sandwiches and wraps. Salads and a few breakfast and bunch options as well. \n\nIt was very difficult to get as comfy as I do in most coffee houses, but then again I'm not sure this is really a coffee house but more of a caf\u00E9 \"slash\" gift shop. Nothing against the owners and I don't blame them for trying to maximize their revenues through additional avenues other than coffee. But you might consider changing your name to Hob Nobs Caf\u00E9 and gift shop?\n\nThis is a cool place to meet people for lunch you don't know. \n\nHear me out ~ Their tables and chairs are not very comfy so it makes it easier for you to end your conversation. This can be a good thing you know : -)"^^ . "2011-02-09T00:00:00"^^ .
