I have been visiting for years. Though the office where I worked moved, I managed to visit once in a blue moon. I always get great coffee, pastries and service no matter who is at the counter. If the owner is there I get a great story as bonus. Alas he has left onto other things. You will be be missed good friend; ok the carrot cupcakes and lattes as well.

I waited too long to post this review and now they are closing :(. Even so, I want to say how much I have enjoyed coming here for the past year. Richard and his staff are so friendly and welcoming to everyone who enters, and they really turned this cafe into a gathering place for our diverse community. I usually only ordered coffee, iced tea, or cold brew coffee and these were all a good quality for a good price. Thank you for making me and my dog smile every week! We will miss you!

Love coming here to study! This is my new favorite spot. It's not busy and they've a great playlist. Their pastries are delicious and always fresh. One of my favorites lattes are pot o' gold and hazelnut. The staff is friendly and sweet. I want to give a shout out to Marcelo for always being so kind, he's my favorite barista.

Good spot. Nice staff and a relaxing courtyard. Feels like an oasis to escape to for a brief moment.

This place is a good find ! They are located within the central library grounds in a very pleasant looking patio. They help you out with a great honest smile, the price is fair, the coffee tastes good and the little piazza looking area where the tables are is a good choice for a few minutes away from reality or if you wish, just go back to your books and work...

Small coffee stand that is in the courtyard of the library. Excellent lattes. I think the quality is above most coffee shops I've been too. Usually one bartsia working, but there isn't a huge line. Great for writers if you want to work outside. Internet is so-so, but works fine inside the library. Highly recommend.
Good espresso coffee, nice atmosphere next to library. Paper cups only.

Perfect spot to step out from the Library and find your balance. Some sun,a nice breeze and a decent cup of coffee. Not much more one can ask for.

Fast, friendly coffee. Great price for the amount of coffee you get in a double espresso. Same price as SB but a better value.

Great coffee and great service. Richard, the owner, is very friendly and welcoming to regulars and first timers. Nice patio in a courtyard at the library to enjoy your drink.

The conversation is always a lovely way to start the day, staff are so friendly and interested in making sure you get the best pour of the day. The Americano is by far the best I've ever had.
