    Leaves a bit to be desired on the espresso front. A bit burnt and perhaps beyond the optimal duration past roasting date. Up the game please, that La Marzocco is a bit wasted.

    Breakfast burrito is big in flavor, small in stature. No Wi-Fi. Seats are usually in short supply.

    If you need to charge your gadgets, there are two power outlets by the front counter barstool seats.

    Good place overall, but nothing amazing. If there is a long line, I am not sure it is worth the wait

    I second the hazel nut latte suggestion. The zucchini bread was fantastic though the breakfast sandwiches were nothing special.

    They are now serving single origin espresso. A must try and the bean selection changes roughly every month.
