I must also note the outdoor seating might have been far better if the lady next to us hadn't been puffing smoke like a dragon over...

They have multiple bean choices for espresso and it's really worth trying, even if you don't typically like espresso. The beans they have for sale are also really quite something.

The service is good. The staff are helpful and knowledgeable as long as you know how to ask for help.

I see a few complaints about the laptop policy, which I can understand but I don't think it should distract from the score. They don't allow laptops on weekends but it's their choice and they explain the reasons well. The coffee is...
