Great place to go and work! I usually have their desserts, and love that it’s open late. I usually go over with my friends to meet up after work. Sometimes it gets loud with how busy it is, but still a great spot. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

The baked goods taste like they came from Safeway or Costco, and the coffee and chai latte have a disappointing flavor that resembles dirty water. On the plus side, they do offer seating, Wi-Fi, and a restroom.
