    This used to be an office for Hal, a really nice gentleman who used to do notary work and accounting. It's nice they kept his name.

    Long live independent coffee houses - solid espresso drinks, chai, and a limited but delicious selection of pastries. Add in wifi, cheerful service, and a pleasant neighborhood vibe. Winner!

    Low key, local shop. Water color daily menu avoids being precious. Mornings are busy but relaxed. They know about their beans and willing to chat.
