    The Hooker's Mocha is amazing, but it's not sweet--it's dark, strong, and bitter.

    Beautiful 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.

    Front Window seats can get drafty. Sit at least 4 chairs away from front door.
