I find myself standing on the precipice of existential dread, witnessing what is, without doubt, a brutal crime against the fine art of espresso making. Traditionally, the symphony of brewing espresso begins with the meticulous grinding of beans, as old as the hills of Colombia or the plains of Ethiopia. Yet here, I observe a chilling, sacrilegious deviation - a plastic cup full of what can only be described as a chalky facsimile of coffee powder, brutishly inserted into the machine that was once an altar for the caffeine gods.
In a world where order exists, the divine elixir flowing from this espresso machine should be a thick, dark manifestation of a heavenly body. A river of ink paying homage to the nectar that has kept civilization turning since the Ottomans discovered the magical beans.

Read moreThis is my absolute favorite go to drink kiosk! Everyone who works here is super friendly and tolerant of my obnoxious little canine copilot, who never stops yelling at whoever is on duty unfortunately. Even their always ready dog treats don't shut her up for long! The drinks are all excellent, whether it's coffee, tea, or one of their less-caffeinated cold drinks, and they have a large selection of flavors to add to any drink, adding to the variety. There is also a nice selection of quick grab foods and they do breakfast sandwiches as well, which I have tried and can recommend. Weekends they're open 24 hours, which is a nice perk. Definitely recommend making...
