Scott GoldsteinJanuary 19, 2015Bagels are actually wonder bagel which is great, mocha latte is legit. Don't do in at lunch time on a school day-place gets swarmed by teensUpvoteDownvote
Alex LuriAugust 4, 2013Two things you have to do: 1. You have to see wombats. 2. You have to visit backyard here. It's so awesome!UpvoteDownvote
Take your coffee and bagel to go; limited seating and wobbly tables don't make for the best place to do work.UpvoteDownvote
James BoyleAugust 11, 2013I'm taking this place to the first district court of appeals, because there is no way they have the Legal Grounds to make sandwiches this good!Upvote5Downvote
Amy Johnson CookAugust 14, 2014Great to stop in and have a cup or pick up some beans. They'll even grind them for you.UpvoteDownvote

The coffee here is great, as are the sandwiches. Try the HI-T sandwich!UpvoteDownvote
Sam HJuly 9, 2015It tries super hard to be hipster but ends up feeling a little rundown/dilapidated. Sandwiches are surprisingly pricey considering they're low quality. The coffee was okay.Upvote1Downvote
The hot pastrami sandwich on rye is Yummy in my tummie :)UpvoteDownvote- Enjoy your drink in the garden in the rear seating area... Very cozy.
