It's got a great atmosphere, busy lunch but otherwise a friendly, personable staff. They don't care if you sit for hours while it's slow so it's a great spot for studying or laptop work. There's liquor and pinball to take the edge off and good local espresso to get you going again. Fantastic house-made soups and dressings, with consistent fresh food ingredients. Every first Friday there's new art and sometimes local musicians come in to play for an evening. Super cozy place, come see for yourself!

Hours: M-F 7am-Midnight, Sa 730am, Su 11am.

    Atmosphere - I love the eclectic usage of doors as table tops and plumbing pipe as the support

    Food - Mmmm. The portabello sandwhich is devine and the potatoe salad is the best in town.

    Beverages - Espresso is perfectly done and the iced tea is home-brewed and excellent

  2. Great for low key hanging with friends or catching up on work!
