Waited in line for over 10 minutes. I was meeting someone and we had heard great things about the place,,, which was the only reason I didn't immediately just walk out. Each person in line took over 3 minutes to finish placing their order. The staff was either chatting with them on a personal level(with a huge line of customer waiting) or distracted talking to other people who walked over to the bar to say "HI". This is the kinda nonsense I would have expected from a coffee shop next to a college but even dutch brothers highers younger people and their turn around is incredible!
When I finally got to my turn in line I really didn't want to be there so I just ordered something super fast/simple such as the hot chocolate. They were all out of medium cups,,, it wasn't even 2pm. They had no marshmallows, no wiped cream,,, and I ended up waiting another 10 + minutes just to be served. They had 1 person taking the orders(and non-stop chatting, 1 person making all of the drinks(and believe it or not,, chatting more than the register person was),,, and for some strange reason they had 3 people in the back who didn't seem to do much to help address the growing customer wait time except include themselves in all of the wonder non-service related chatting occurring.
The decor was plain and drab. The walls were painted eggshell white. You got the feeling you were in a hospital more so than a coffee establishment and considering the area they are located with all of the other surrounding businesses, you would have thought they could have at least tried to keep up with the image the rest of the establishments upheld.
The hot chocolate wasn't even all that great. More people seemed interested in using their power/wifi than actually waiting another 20 minutes to get a 2nd drink.
1/10, would not recommend. At least starbucks is organized...

Read moreI'm a fan but i feel like there is room for improvement. They did a big remodel and where closed for quite some time.
When it re opened I was expecting the place to look amazing, but in my opinion it just looks really feminine and cold.
The minimilaist approach they took is trendy but I dont feel like thet display their products well and the brand seems to need some work as well with different logos on the shirts, the cups, and merch they sell like they could not pick a design they like.
As a branding expert I see this as their weakest area and I'm sure other men that have recently come here get the same feeling now as I do.
I will say that their prices are great, and their selection of tea is also very good. Most of all the people that work here are simply amazing human beings and I will continue to come back just for them.
I would like to see them get some more typed of tea from Art of Tea, they have amazing flavors. Overall a great local business and they deserve 4 stars for their excellent...
