There was a protest in the street outside that I found upsetting--some awful homophobic group with literal red flags praying over people--and it meant a lot to come here and see that they were also taken aback and disgusted. The employees were talking quietly about it and I joined them, feeling a lot safer in this strange city with their support. But please do get sugar-free syrups!

See you next time! read more I like coming back to this place because I`m never disappointed. I always get equally good coffee and the service is friendly. See you next time!

The drip is well dialed and the espresso was decent but a little over extracted. Though I'm not surprised because the clientele probably isn't very espresso centric.
