Great coffee! … my only complaint is that when you do that much Business, why not invest in another espresso maker? You can expect to wait 10 minutes or more for any drink involving an espresso.
By the way, they have a cherry almond scone …. So delicious.

Two of us ordered:
iced americano $4.25
iced latte $6
Smooth americano spot. Some seating inside, can definitely get a bit crowded during peak hours.
