Three Friends Coffee House

Underpriced Americanos, free wifi, and comfortable seating. What else do you need? Don't forget it's cash only. more

This place seems to have a decent amount of community support, which I take to be a good sign. I had an unremarkable soy latte in a glass stein, and the barista was slow but quite cheerful and friendly (I think he even let me stay a few minutes after closing, and he wasn't a jerk about it when he finally kicked me out). They have a computer with internet access, as well as free wifi for laptop users. There's a lot of interesting stuff on the walls, along with some unusually-constructed chairs, which is always a plus in my book. My laptop cord wouldn't stay in the first wall plug I tried, but there's a convenient power strip in the corner with a half-dozen outlets. I didn't order any food, but I did notice that they have a discounted day-old pastry basket, a favorite feature for people like me who want to spend money on luxuries while pretending to be thrifty. more

I typically enjoy Americanos, kind of basic for your Barista, but it is also a defining drink in that if you can make a great Americano you should be able to cover just about any coffee drink ordered. I found the Americano at Three Friends to be very good, but almost as important, the service was responsive and friendly which made the whole experience a highly recommended one. Pros: Intelligent staff, reliable and quick service Cons: Menu board was a bit difficult to read more

It's hard to explain how something as prosaic as a cappuccino and a bagel could be so fantastic, but it's true. more

I was drawn into this place by the smell of fresh bread, but since I was in a hurry I ended up buying a smoothie instead. Good Smoothie's, but next time I will drop in for a sandwhich and a cup of joe at this relaxed spot. Pros: Service, sandwhiches, bottled smoothies Cons: No parking, needs bigger lunch menu more
