Cassi LynnSeptember 6, 2011Food is amazing.everything is locally bought. The staff is super friendly. And the russian black iced tea is amazing.
Tate WilliamsJuly 7, 2017Wifi is expensive. and the program they use to pay looks like it was made in 1998, took me about a dozen tries for it to accept my info. Good coffee.
The Orange Chili Chocolate drink is perfect on a cold day. Creamy, spicy and sweet.
Chris CombsJuly 5, 2012A part of you will want to revolt against the corporate starbucks across the street and support this local rockin coffee shop.

They recently changed their tea line (from Mem to Kilogram), so I'm not fond of their Thai tea anymore.
The bagel sandwiches are really good, they use Iggy's, which are the best IMO. Best coffee in town too.
Jo LamFebruary 3, 2013Love this place but I keep forgetting you have to pay for wifi until I buy my drink and sit down :-(
Gerald HastingsNovember 25, 2014The Branch is my favorite here. PK pouch an Monkey Wrench are close seconds.
Dave WalshOctober 30, 2015Don't think about using WiFi unless you bring your own hotspot or $7! They freakin' charge for internet access! Once spent $12, then learned this fcuked up fact...refund & left. No WiFi? Kiss my a$$!
Vegetarian spicy bean wrap with avocado is seriously the best wrap I've ever had!
- You have to PAY to use wifi here. Not free! Kind of annoying for such an awesome space
Hummus plate is a ridiculous portion size! Peppermint tea is just okay.
Lox and bagel plate is great, and they'll even make it into a sandwich for you if you'd prefer. Shame there's no free wifi, though.
mmmm, apple cider- perfect for a fall day. bonus: halloween decorations are spooktacular ;)
Try to get a booth. I dare you. Or talk to the guy with the stuffed animals while waiting for a booth.
If you say the right password in the photo booth you will get a FBI briefing video.
The rooibos tea is outstanding. Give it a try for some nice citrus notes!
They have a killer maple oatmeal scone that tastes just like the oatmeal you remember as a kid.
Connie LuMay 1, 2012Has a photo booth and pool tables! Awesome spacious place to study, but only paid wi-fi.
Try the green tea latte! It tastes oddly like seaweed and is totally addictive.
Unless you specify, your raspberry lime rickey will likely be a lime rickey with a tiny bit of raspberry.
Breakfast burritos are a must, especially after a long night out.
This: Tofu scramble wrap. We call it veggie crack wrap. Omg!!
Try the breakfast burrito with pesto instead of avocado. Absolutely amazing.

"Drink Tip: Excellent selection of craft beer on tap and bottled. The cocktail list goes beyond the menu, just tell the friendly bartenders what things you like and they'll whip up your new favorite."

"Fast internet, lots of power outlets, and a long community seating table. Usually this is a very busy location! Great service! You are lucky to get an armchair by the fireplace!"
