Nice coffee shop with short hours.

The espresso was smooth and strong like it should be. The chocolate-cherry coffee cake was better than expected (nice nuanced flavors, neither dry nor oversweet). I saw several other coffeecakes in the bakery case that I would be happy to try. True to its name, several of the available drip coffees were of Ethiopian origin.

Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be any dishes or utensils. The cake came in a bag, and no forks were visible anywhere. The espresso was in a to-go cup (no demitasse or even full-sized coffee cup offered). I like to linger over my coffee and cake, and prefer to have them in real dishes, if I'm enjoying my purchase at the cafe.

Prices are a touch higher than Starbucks or other coffee shops.

The big negative is the short hours-- this was my first time here in part because they close early. On this Thursday visit, we were informed they were closing at 6pm. Even for the suburbs, that seems on the early side.

A nice location in the big commercial development in Maple Lawn, it has a corner with outdoor seating and ample windows. Wish they...

0 for their customer service. Went in 20mins before their closing time. There were already two other groups seated when we walked in. Firstly, the person behind the counter was very impatient in taking the order. Then, she was rude when we asked for her suggestion regarding their best/most sold coffee. As this is our first time here, we asked if coffee is served in mugs, as they did not seem like any franchise. But she was rude in answering a polite question, and just said, "no, we give coffee in only plastic cups". Could have been polite with her answer. She messed up one of the coffee's as she forgot to add white chocolate in a white chocolate mocha. When asked, she said "everything is good, I know what I did". And then she realized she did not add white chocolate, when we asked her two more times to adjust the coffee. At 4:55pm, she comes to only our table, and asks us to leave as they close at 5pm. Then she heads to chat casually with one of the groups about clothes, and did not even bother reminding a white couple about the closing time. Very rude, impatient and...
