I got the dark Ghirardelli hot chocolate with cinnamon on top and it was AMAZING. I make pretty good hot chocolate so I'm always skeptical buying it - but this was fantastic.
We didn't actually order cinnamon though, and it was put on 1 of the 4 cups my group ordered. It was a good addition but noteworthy that I didn't ask for it.
It was a little slow getting up to order, but definitely worth it!

Great atmosphere, excellent coffee, open 24hrs.

Loses point for issues with being understaffed. I frequently go there, and they have issues with bathrooms not being maintained (out of toilet paper), waste bins are overflowing, self-serve coffee carafes are empty

As a night owl, it saddens me there are few coffee spots I can visit. I just found this one, and I plan on visiting on many late nights. The coffee is great, the aroma is soothing, and the atmosphere is a warm, inviting haven.

Amazing! Come for coffee & stay for connection. Ended up here on a Saturday night and there were groups of people playing games…and not on their phones! The building is remade from an old bar and former bank so the architecture is interesting. Will have to try this spot again.

This is a really unique coffee shop. It’s open 24 hours, which is really neat. I haven’t been here during the really late hours, but there have been many times I come here to study after most other coffee shops have already closed.

The beverage menu is extensive and I’ve never had a drink I didn’t like. The baristas are always a bit busy because it seems only one person works at a time, but they are friendly.

They are often quite busy, presumably because they’re one of the only coffee shops open so late, so it is consequently pretty loud inside. Nothing ridiculous, just plenty of people having conversations. I don’t personally mind the background noise, but if I had a project I was working on that required a lot of my focus I would probably choose a different spot. That being said, it’s a great spot for chatting because there’s so much going on and I’m not afraid of being inconsiderate to others in the shop by talking. There also isn’t a ton of seating and it’s squished together, which is something to be mindful of if you’re in a group or coming during busy times, but I personally think it adds to the charm.

There really is undeniable charm in this coffee house. Lots of artwork on the walls, beautiful tables and chairs, and the ceiling is beautiful.

Overall, I’d recommend this coffee shop for casual conversation with friends or studying/work that won’t be hindered by background noise.
