Their coffee sucks, big time, has for years. I don't actually recall when I've had a poorer cup of coffee from a local place. I mean, they may have (somewhat) decent donuts, but come on, it's really not that hard to make an americano or a latte. Or, perhaps it is, as not one barista at the Capitol Hill or Downtown location seem to be able to figure it out.
As for the donuts, well, they certainly aren't as consistent as they once were. My friends and I stopped going because we left feeling as if we'd had a brick dropped in our stomache after eating the donuts. Not sure what they are/were doing to them, but it happened too many times.
I go back once in a while to check it out, but it's still bad coffee, surly scenester/hipster service and overpriced donuts. They should also figure out the Starbucks thing, because the Top Pot donuts they serve there are NOT fresh.
