  Today, I was looking forward to trying this coffee shop for the first time. After my experience, I will not be back. This is based on the service of the staff. I was line with one person in front of me, my friend was behind me, behind her were two other ladies. While the cashier was helping the man in front in me, she asked me if I was with the people at the long table, apparently it was some association, or work meeting. There were several folks at the table. Then, I was asked if I minded if the other people in line were served before me because they were with the group. I said I didn't mind, really what was I supposed to say without sounding rude. My friend and I ordered, paid for our drinks. The same cashier said she would bring the drinks to our table. After 20 minutes of waiting, and watching other people being served, my friend went up to the counter to ask if they had forgotten about us. The server said no I have not forgotten about you. It was another 10 to 15 minutes before the server brought us our cappuccinos. Both caps were lukewarm,it was obvious that the drinks had been sitting for too long before they were served. The server was noticeably irritated when my friend asked for a spoon. He shuffled back to the table a few minutes later with a spoon. We could have got up to get our spoon, but he said he would get it. The staff should be trained on how to treat every customer in the same manner.I felt less valued as a customer, not a nice experience.My time is just as valuable as the folks at the big table. As I said I won't be back, and I will not be recommending this cafe to my friends. There are much better coffee shops in this town: Wired Monk, Afterthoughts, and Clique.

  As far as coffee places go, this one was a pleasant experience. There was no intense hipster vibe, rather the impression that students and families came here to hang out and chat. I ordered a hot chocolate. Very good.
