    This is a spot I come to do work, good tea selection, but the food, is ok, with a courteous waitstaff. Bottom line, the perks, there's free wi-fi, a number of outlets &it's open 24hrs on weekends.

    The food is aight but the vibe is great. Very laid-back and casual. If you're looking to get work done in your sweatpants come here. It's not one of the trendy/beautiful people cafes in the EV.

    I love the location, its a great place to people watch if you sit outside. Very pricey compared to other places in the area for what you get though

    All the food I've ordered here had something weird or wrong with it. This place belongs at a truck stop or a tourist beach in Thailand. Come for the 24 hour wifi.

    I've said before food here is crappy (tea is great) and the owners not nice... Yesterday, though, the owner Tarek threatened to kick me out... http://pedropizano.com/2013/05/table-12-review-venting/

    The word "table" is used kind of liberally here at Table 12 considering it's actually just flat pieces of wood placed on top of tortoises.

    Order the "Table 19 Special" or if you want dessert, get the apple pie ala mode or one of their thick ice cream shakes. All of the food is great.

    The most over priced cafe food downtown. Try one of the other many cafes to choose from in the area and skip this one.

    You will hate the really lumpy chair by the door! (bad attempt to keep it open when I stop by this cool work spot.)

    This place is great for lunch or dinner, but literally every dessert, cake and pastry they carry sucks worse than anything I've ever tried. Always disappoint after a sweet treat from here.

    Hours are great, tables are perfect for studying and free wifi. Service is not bad. The food is too expensive and not good.

    Open 24 hours. Free wifi. Outlets. Organic coffee ($3) isn't memorable, but is fine. For better coffee, walk two blocks to 9th Street Espresso on E10th (Ave A/B).

    $9 for a just-egg omelette with every veggie/topping $1.50 extra? This place looks like a diner but has bistro prices. Ripoff. Don't eat here unless you like tearing up your cash.

    Come here to use wifi n study late at night. Food is way expensive for diner quality... Skip the chicken quesadillas.

    This place is horrible. Worst service and overpriced food that's mediocre at best. All I can say is 24 hr wifi and electrical outlets are an occasional necessity.

    Food is good, but service has been pretty terrible the two times I've been in. Also, servers look like Degrassi extras in worst way possible.
