The chappie Chai was the worst coffee shop beverage I have ever tried. Extremely bitter yet bland, texture thin and watery yet also like low quality protein powder grainy, I couldn't believe I didn't take it back.

There are lots of tables and seating areas in the large space. The employees are so friendly and will bring your drinks and food to you after you’ve ordered. Also as a dachshund owner I love that their logo is a dachshund. They definitely won me over from that alone! There’s also a parking lot in the back, as well as street parking in the front which...
