Very friendly service, but who the hell cares when the food and coffee is so horrible. I find it strange that, as a coffee house serving coffee in to go cups, they don’t really have any breakfast options that are good on the go. I got the Java Benedict which was some regular deli ham, watered down hollandaise, and a burnt bagel. Coffee was so hot I couldn’t drink it for 20 minutes so when I finally could take a decent sip it tasted burnt. I couldn’t even finish my $8 coffee. Cant believe it cost $22 for what I thought would be a quick breakfast. The good reviews are clearly for the service and atmosphere, which is great, but personally I value good food/drinks more.

I of course went back to my car where I actually had some cash, and put the money in the tip jar. The coffee was amazing, but the service made me feel as if I was a VIP.! Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The atmosphere didn’t feel welcoming at all. While the cashier who was assisting other customers was pleasant, my overall experience left a negative impression, and I chose not to have coffee there today.
