Walked in with the intention on ordering but after the off putting service I received Today, I will never step foot in the place again. Prior to placing my order, I asked the barista by the name of Matthew if there was a bathroom for their customers. He gave me a really Cold, blank stare and acted as if nothing was said to him. After asking a second to time, he responds and just says yea with no intent on telling me where it was until I asked him and when I did, all He did was point in the back half of the store. As I approached the bathroom, he told me that animals were not allowed in the bathroom. I explained to him that my dog was a service animal and proceeded to use the bathroom as continued to give me a hard time. The reason as to why this is so off putting us because I observed the way Matthew interacted with customers, and his demeanor was polar opposite. He was delightful, cheery and nice but was barely acknowledged when I approached the counter until I said something. What was even more off putting is that he seemed to make more of a big deal about my 10-LB dog being in the bathroom rather than the establishment alone.

Despite the excellent beverages, I can't help but feel that the staff's behavior might discourage potential clients from returning. A little more friendliness and helpfulness from the staff could go a long way in enhancing the overall experience at this...

This coffee shop is in a great location and offers great seating options - inside and outside. The whole atmosphere is relaxing with tons of seating.
I ordered a cold brew and chocolate chip cookie and enjoyed both. The cookie really hit the spot after a day of walking around.
The staff were friendly and knowledgeable about the items they were selling. They continued to clean the space as people came and left - which is sometimes hard to find at coffee shops.
Honestly, this is probably my favorite Intelligentsia location. The whole...
