The beverage is good. Service is lacking. The teenager that works there don't want to be there, I honestly think robot with AI would do a better job. All she did was handed me the drink. I tipped her the same 20%, the whole time all she did not even want to talk the customer, might as well be a robot.
Plus, it is a very small establishment.

A bright spot on some tough days - I was going back and forth visiting my dad at Princeton U. Hospital for a few weeks, and stopped here several times for coffee or breakfast. I drove in early from PA and appreciated that they opened at 6:30am. Rare to find such a homespun mom and pop type place these days- just really simple and cosy, and the pastries, sandwiches and coffee are excellent. They have a cute porch with a few seats, and a little bistro table under a nearby tree....

The location is hidden in plain sight: right on a corner, nestled between the firehouse and residential neighborhood, and just above the train corridor. You could easily hum right past it and never know! But, don't! It's a wonderful spot.
