The coffee is the best in the city, and the manager Khale is consumately clever
N BevelApril 17, 2017For truly strong quality coffee try some other cafe. For hanging out in a loud, noisy joint with so-so overpriced coffee, try this place.
Lauren BittnerApril 28, 2012I love the fact that I don't have to get a card from the cashier when I want to use the Internet anymore!
This place used to be good, but lately the coffee has ranged from bad to undrinkable.
The banana creme pie is beyond amazing. I think all of the coffee choices are impressive as well.

The spinach croissants are quite good- get one warmed up
Tips the boys and girls! They serve up some good stuff!
