yuck. look, i would like nothing more than to sit here and say that this local independent shop makes better coffee than starbucks. but then i would be lying. i am not saying that starbucks coffee is outstanding. i am saying that until these mom-n-pop, local, independent coffee shops start making coffee drinks that actually taste good, then i am going to stop going to a coffee shop and blowing 5 bucks on a latte unless it's at starbucks.
yes, the owners here were very nice.
yes, the shop is tastefully decorated and relaxing.
yes, i'm sure the (previously mentioned by other reviews) house-made foods are great (although i did not try them).
but if you are going to be a coffee shop, then you gotta know how to make coffee. you have to know how to make all kinds of coffee, from regular coffee to espresso to french press, etc.
i ordered a latte here and it was a watery, weird tasting mess. it was awful.
i would not go back. i notice that none of the reviews before mine actually talk about the coffee.
'nuff said.
