nice atmosphere - GOOD coffee - really well-priced books - shame you get 'tude from the baristas. Also, close to the theatres downtown, so good for a fast bite before curtain.
Maybe best coffee in New Haven. Delicious pun-ny sandwiches. Half used book store, half cafe. They have a beautiful glass greenhouse wall that leads to an outdoor seating space. Great for studying
The place almost always smells like smoked bacon! Even if you eat bacon, do you want your quiet bookstore/study cafe to have this hanging aroma of it? <vomit>
