Everything, I love it here. But no WiFi on the weekends? Kind of uncool.

Come during a natural disaster. The sense of community is amazing. My only complaint, no wifi on Saturday. How am I supposed to track Irene?!

Try the Roasted Eggplant Dip - One of my faves here - but I think they should try serving the dip warm instead of cold.
Rick CorradoNovember 15, 2011
New chorizo & white cheddar frittata rocks! Healthier option is spinach, shallot & gruyere. Both are awesome!

Hot chocolate is not a hot chocolate, it is just a cacao. Really dissappointing. BLT Bagel was average as well as coffee. Nothing special about this place.
