    The lady called Collegene or something like that, is incredibly rude as hell. She works at the passport area, and treats everyone rude as hell. She must be so lovely at home. Maybe she needs love or something because she certainly doesn’t have any to give. I wonder when was the last time anyone gave her a hug.

    Melissa at the front desk has always been super helpful and is extremely kind and considerate. Wish there were folks like her in all establishments!

    I have never been treated so poorly in my life. Now I get why the reviews are so awful. A worker entered the wrong address for a package I sent. I went in trying to see what address they did send it to. Before I could even say what I needed, she was already trying to shoo me out the door. It wasn't like there was a line or anything, she just didn't want to deal with me. She was acting like I was being unreasonable before I even said anything. I got 0 help, 0 answers, and the whole time she sounded upset, like I had offended her by just being there. I sure as hell left mad. Never never never come here for anything. Chances are, you'll get treated like garbage.

    I failed to read these reviews prior to scheduling my passport appointment, and needless to say I was very nervous for my appointment upon reading the reviews. I scheduled a passport appointment (no photo), and things went amazing. I used a form-filler to complete my passport application online and brought it mostly filled out - I forgot to add my employer company and she just had me write it in with a black pen. Simple. I brought my original birth certificate (she specifically asked for the original), my ID (you do not need a photocopy- they make their own there), and my passport photo from Walgreens. I bought my money order there for a $2.35 fee on top of the charges to the state and it was very smooth. Please do not listen to these reviews. If you come fully prepared, you will be totally fine. She even asked me if I needed my photo taken when I did not select passport appointment with a photo online. I believe the lady that helped me today was named Melissa. Truly had a great experience and it was smooth sailing.

    I just came for a stamp and to mail an envelope. Cool building. Doesn’t seem to have full functions / displays as another post office might due to the counter set up still being the historic style. Counter seems to only have space for one customer service station (1 worker) so you may be in line for a bit. I recommend coming early. Friendly staff member, though, and convenient location.
