Social News Network: The Frozen Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate is incredible and something you won't be able to find anywhere else! The apple pie is also a delicious sweet treat if you prefer your desserts warm.

Joey P: The vanilla chai latte is a tad sweet but delish. My GF had the vanilla cream cocoa and the flavor was subtle but also very good. It's a great local coffee spot.
Lauren Gilchrist: Quirky coffee shop with a few tables. Feels like your weird aunt's go-to-spot. Good for lingering on a winter afternoon. Don't miss the hot chocolate.
Matthew: This adorable mid-block coffee shop with 7 small tables is a perfect casual spot to catch up with a good friend, especially in winter. Enjoyed their hot cocoa with espresso.

Nina D: Salted Peanut Butter Hot Chocolate is one of the most decadently rich things I've ever tasted. If you like PB and want a little heat in the winter..get this!! Burgers are alright, nothing special.
@JaumePrimero: Just tried the malted hot chocolate; yum!
Zeba Siddiqi: Shack burger , cheese fries & do try their winter special hot chocolate with caramel
