Delicious coffee and superb pizza! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5

I really enjoy this coffee shop. It’s only a few blocks from my home, making it a convenient stop on my way to work. The service is consistently excellent, and the coffee is just as great. The prices are reasonable as well. I particularly appreciate their rewards program, where I get a free coffee roughly every tenth one I purchase!

The coffee here is terrible—it just tastes like watered-down beans. My husband is a coffee enthusiast, but I’m not particularly picky about coffee. If I think it's bad, it must really be awful. They completely messed up our orders, and even after remaking them, they were still incorrect. We didn't want to ask for any more since all the coffee we had tasted diluted. While I'm not usually fussy about coffee, I have to say it was disappointing. On a positive note, the atmosphere is lovely, and there’s plenty of seating. The staff was friendly, but I really wish we had chosen a different place.

I'm not sure what has happened to this place. When I was living in the area for school, I used to come here every single day, and it was always quite good. The "no bull" dish was my go-to for years. I occasionally try to revisit, but it just isn’t the same anymore. The great coffee I remember from years past is rarely available now. For some reason, they seem to lack consistency.

The atmosphere is fantastic, making it an ideal spot for working or meeting colleagues. The coffee is outstanding! The staff is friendly and well-informed.
