This café has a really nice atmosphere with a modern artsy feel. The service is great; the staff will check in once I a while at your table to make sure you are satisfied.

It also makes for an excellent workspace, especially if you work remotely and want to work outside of your house.

My one critique is that they play their music really loud, which can sometimes make it hard to concentrate and hear conversations over the phone.
