Emily TylerJuly 9, 2013Check out the top bar, but only if you have time to savor the sweet, sweet brews they serve up!
Chia EversAugust 21, 2014The Hooker's Mocha is amazing, but it's not sweet--it's dark, strong, and bitter.
Dayyan LordMarch 21, 2013If you've come here by way of bike, bring it in. There's parking inside at the back wall.
Emily KaneJanuary 5, 2016A cold brew to end all cold brews. I could live in this weird lil warehouse.
Front Window seats can get drafty. Sit at least 4 chairs away from front door.
The aesthetic is right and the coffee is great. Go here!
Alexis YipApril 12, 2017Beautiful space with extremely high ceilings, but higher than average prices. This location does not offer any wifi nor outlets. Not a good place to do any work on your laptop.
James WhittakerOctober 20, 2011Come on a Thursday morning and watch them roast the coffee beans whilst sipping an Ethiopian drip coffee.
Only wish the vanilla iced cold brew came in a bigger size - can't get enough.
Leap YearAugust 4, 2011Very strong espresso. Best coffee we've ever had. Oh, and Square's Jack Dorsey is one of the investors.
Caramel, Choc cookies, blueberry olive oil muffins...look at the bake goods case :)
Joanne JangJuly 7, 2019If you’re craving something sweet, try their vanilla iced cold brew w/ oat milk!
Best place to sit down without wifi and drink excellent coffee.
Denis AnisimovMay 13, 2015The second floor is very warm. The AC cannot cope with the hard work of these guys ☺
Super stingy on the pour overs, which are the most expensive in the city
Kim PhamAugust 15, 2012Indulge in some stellar coffee & rub elbows with startup nerds + trendy hipsters. Or even worse, startup hipsters.
d bJune 14, 2013They sell Aerobie flying discs here, by the same guy who invented the Aeropress. Awesome.
Good coffee from beautiful authentic coffee machines
Coffee is just ok, but there is always plenty of space to sit and chat!- Get the Vanilla Iced Coffee and a Hookers Sea Salt Caramel!
- Great open space. Grab a drip coffee or espresso and check out the upstairs.
Pick up a bag of the Owl's Howl espresso from some home brewed awesomeness! 
Really hot in this space on hot days. Beautiful space, great coffee, no interwebs.
