"I am not much of a coffee connoisseur, so I probably have no right to an actual opinion on this place. It's funny, I didn't realize that there was any hype to speak of about these guys, it just seemed like another random shop that had sprung up out of nowhere.\n\nI had the concept and workings of the \"clover\" machine explained to me, and it sounded impressive, if not a little indulgent. Buying a regular coffee, *period* whenever I crave one is about the extent of my daily indulgence, and trust me, it's enough. It was good, it wasn't clover, and later that day I (100% true) suffered from a concentrated bout of anxiety. It may have been a coincidence, or the hot day, or a combination of things, but I couldn't help but think that the name \"Manic\" was chosen for a reason. I suppose it's good that they are delivering what they promise: some strong, jumpy beans."^^ . "0"^^ . "2009-01-30T00:00:00"^^ . "3"^^ . "1"^^ . . . . "1"^^ .
