The chocolate flavor was yummy, and the milk was frothy & steamed to perfection. The baristas are cute and capable! and, of course, there's John. \n\nThe clothing varies, as each artist creates a unique item. There are wonderful variations on strange and cute polyester double knit, reconstructed dresses evoking an illicit coupling Twiggy and Marcia Brady, yummy sexy slip dresses fit for a faerie. Big bold copper and stainless buckles and pendants in a modernist style, dainty woven seed bead necklaces, smocked velvet bags. Painted 33-1/2 vinyl, and delicate pen-and-ink drawings and ACEOs. A little of everything, and almost all are one-of-a-kind. Even some of the t-shirts are unique! (I'm not into t-shirts, but the guys like them swell enough.\n\nIt's a neighborhood shop! and funky. So if you want to meet people who live nearby, and hang out there, it's great. I always seem to meet people there I know from somewhere else -- we must be responding to the same magnet. If you want Starbucks uniformity and stained birch furniture, well, this is not the place for you. Even tho the coffee is better! \n\n I just wish they had drip coffee for the times when the line is so long, and I just want caffeine! But that won't even take away 1/2 a star. I can survive."^^ .
