5/5 vibes, coffee, and environment. The frappes w/ espresso are my kryptonite 😭

edit: do not get the earl grey tea. something about it turns my stomach- and I finally threw up from one. I dunno what is going on with that specific kind but don't get it 😭🙏
pretty good coffee spot. nice location next to the bagel shop, we typically go get food from there and coffee in Grinder's. hot coffee drip is cheap and tastes good, the Flavors of the Day are very unique. my girl doesn't like the lattes, she only gets the drip which is unheard of for her LOL. I am not a fan of how they recently replaced the separate booths near the stage with one big couch. it minimizes so much seating space. you have to hope you're lucky when you come in that there will be available spots.

Nice place for a quick cup of coffee with friends, with the typical coffee & tee options, comfortable seating, and friendly service.
