I have been going here for years and love their coffee and pastries. Overall the staff are welcoming and friendly, with a few exceptions, and the atmosphere is what you want from a local coffee shop.
Unfortunately, they recently changed their sizes which prompted me to leave this review. A few weeks ago they started using smaller coffee cups but kept their prices the same.
