Frankly, it's turned into a hipster hell. the coffee is so-so at best, the tes is made with water straight from the espresso machine, leaving it lifeless and completely unenjoyable. the staff seem to enjoy some sort of rivalry with the other coffee shops in the area and even threw a few jabs at a tea house down the street. but hey, if you're a pretentious hipster who wants to ""see and be seen"" this is the place for you. the patio is a nice spot, but frankly, it's all they've got going for them. the bathrooms are rank and they've got a grand total of two outlets. the wireless often lags and the barista shave a habit of acting as if your order is interrupting their all important conversation. (oh, and don't even think of asking them to turn off the obnoxious noise they try to pass for music, you and your headache can p*ss off as far as they're concerned.) if you're in the area, try the coffee tree for a better brew or the te' cafe instead. better prepared coffee and teas, better service and better atmospheres. \r
