Slightly overpriced (IMO) coffee shop. I did not eat this time, though the food was good when I was there once before. They do have plug-ins for devices and WiFi. The staff have been friendly both times that I was there.Wheelchair accessibility: There are no stairs or ramps to navigate.Ground level entrance so should be easy access for wheelchairs and walkers.

Stopped in to do some work. Ordered a Turkey club with regular Mayo, instead of their horseradish Mayo. Man this Turkey club was great. A warm Turkey club which I really appreciated. There is a bunch of stuff in this place to check out! May not be the best place to work, but a cool location nonetheless. I'd go back for the Turkey club!

The menu is loaded with many interesting and veg-forward dishes for both breakfast and lunch. I went with the falafel and my plus one ordered the Minnesota turkey. Both dishes were mediocre. The only side available was chips or a cup of pineapple. And both meals came with pickle slices. Two pickle slides on the plate. We were told that sometimes French fries are available but there wasn't a cook in back when we came here. Breakfast and lunch are both served all day. I thought there would be a wider selection of coffee drinks but there wasn't anything novel here straight forward coffees, lattes and cappuccinos. We also dined in and it was very cold outside when we visited but we had to eat with our coats on. There were maybe 7-8 other patrons dining in and everyone had their coats on. Service was fine and friendly. You order at the counter and then find a table/place to sit. Lots of chit chat going on behind the counter but for the most part we were helped quickly and they were helpful with our menu questions. There's also a ton of cooking utensils, ingredients, spices and a great cheese selection at the front of the store and a brewery on the other side of the same building. It was a fine lunch spot - quick and easy but I don't know if we would be quick to come back. Maybe in the warmer months.

Kid-friendliness: Staff were very friendly and brought us a highchair to use with our daughter.

This is a great place with great goods. The service had me wondering if she was pre-occupied or just indifferent. Almost spent $85 but didn't know how long I was to wait for her to ring up the rest of my goods. So we just left, guess my money want not needed.

A swing, and a partial miss. Coffee beans are over-roasted and bitter but slightly better than average. Here's a hint for the roaster(s), Ethiopian beans from Yirgacheffe should get a lighter touch to bring out the full bouquet, which means when they are ground you will see lots of the light colored hulls in your grind. This means more of the floral and fruity notes can be tasted. This particular roast was almost flavorless besides the bitter acidity, honestly not much better than Folgers. Food served is also slightly above average for similar shops, everything was tasty. Good selection of retail items at average-slightly high prices. Fantastic selection of spirits. One staff member seemed clueless as to what a service dog is, but there always seems to be at least one and she wandered off when I politely told her we had a legitimate service dog that is legally allowed wherever I go. All in all, a decent little place and most people seem to like bitter, over-roasted coffee anyway or S-bucks wouldn't be so dang successful.
