You know those off the beaten path places that you heard from your friends, cousins, mother's, uncles brother. Yeah this place is that hidden gem.
Update: I had a disappointing experience at this coffee shop, which is especially sad because all our prior visits have been wonderful. When we arrived, we had to wait for quite some time at the counter because the barista was on his cell phone in the back.
