    Leaves a bit to be desired on the espresso front. A bit burnt and perhaps beyond the optimal duration past roasting date. Up the game please, that La Marzocco is a bit wasted.

    Breakfast burrito is big in flavor, small in stature. No Wi-Fi. Seats are usually in short supply.

    If you need to charge your gadgets, there are two power outlets by the front counter barstool seats.

    No Wi-Fi and no cell reception means it's a good place to disappear. Bring amazing people and have amazing talks over chai.

    Good place overall, but nothing amazing. If there is a long line, I am not sure it is worth the wait

    I second the hazel nut latte suggestion. The zucchini bread was fantastic though the breakfast sandwiches were nothing special.

    They are now serving single origin espresso. A must try and the bean selection changes roughly every month.
