Asked the barista to make a flat white. “I can’t because it takes 3 shots and the machine can’t do 3 shots.” Literally, that was his response. You don’t need to know anything else in order to judge this place.

A little warm and stuffy, but lots of room to work, and plugs nearby.

Peanut butter based Açaí Bowl “The Rider” was quickly made and delicious! Service was also wonderful.

They should be more friendly with customers. I only went to buy three pieces of bread to go and was waiting in line before the man who was checking out. When it was my turn, the cashier told me that it was not the right line. The man behind me had to tell her that I was already waiting in line. Terrible service, how can she not know the order in which customers arrived? It is not like there were hundreds of people there.
