Even if it weren't just steps from where I work, I would probably come here just as often as I have been. The coffee is consistently good (beans are from Pilot Coffee Roasters, drinks are expertly made), the price is more-or-less reasonable (and they don't charge extra for almond milk!), and I just adore their cookies (my favourites are the peanut butter oatmeal chocolate chip and the chocolate chip with sea salt).\n\nThe people are friendly and the ambiance is relaxed to go along with the rustic industrial chic decor. There is plenty of seating indoors and out - I recommend the patio if the weather permits - so this is definitely a place where you can grab a coffee and a treat and settle in for a morning/afternoon with friends, work, or some well-deserved me time."^^ . .
