It was a bummer.. Just okay. expensive. not greeted, asked what I wanted, I was just stared at by a Gen Z who had no personal skills. Then I tip them and they stared at me like it’s not enough and didn’t say thank you. This happens every time I go there. Just bleh. I want to like this place! I keep giving them chances.

Good coffee, friendly service, nice atmosphere.
Nice that they offer fresh food and yogurt parfaits. Food and non-coffee drink options are a bit limited, e.g. no orange juice.

This is one of my favorite coffee shops! Many of the baristas are friendly, the drinks are good and a wide variety, and it’s a convenient location.

Went with two other friends to order some drinks and no one at the counter acknowledged us or said anything when we came in. Really did not like the atmosphere inside the cafe as we waited at the counter for someone to simply greet us or tell us they’re busy but they’ll be right with us…
